I'd be interested to see how Bad Santa and Adventureland will look.

Why are the Kill Bills and Sin City on this list? I don't see how those transfers can get much better...

Leonidas King · 03-28-2011, 08:21 PM

Same transfer/same special features for all. Only with the exception of a DTS- MA track for all and the "Lionsgate" logo on the covers.

DetroitSportsFan · 03-28-2011, 08:21 PM

Chances are these will be exactly the same discs that Disney released.

Fabiosugitani · 03-28-2011, 08:24 PM

Any chance for slipcovers on Kill Bill?

They're on the list for the same reason as the others -- Disney no longer has the rights and Lionsgate now does. Given the speed to market on these (with the ink barely dry on the deal), I think everyone's assumption is 100% correct: These will be the same transfers as before, just with Lionsgate logos on the packaging.

Mods please fix. For some reason I messed up with the date. It's actually April 26th.

one nice thing for those that do not already own these films--

with Lionsgate's history of pricing-- they should all be ten bucks or less in the not too far distant future

I just ordered Clerks from Amazon a couple weeks ago thinking it would go OOP or some extras would be missing when the rights got changed. Any chance of that happening?

tyler2tall147 · 03-28-2011, 09:04 PM

and it seems like Clerks II and Dogma are missing... Were those Miramax titles?

Mr. Cinema · 03-28-2011, 09:05 PM

I believe all of these will have a $19.99 list price, except for Adventureland and No Country: Collector's Edition, which are $24.99. The NC: CE was always steep, so I'm glad it's getting a nice price drop courtesy of Lionsgate.

No. Clerks 2 is a film of The Weinstein Company and Dogma is Sony.

saprano · 03-29-2011, 12:53 AM

Eh. I prefer disneys thin cases and their slipcovers.

Minimejer05 · 03-29-2011, 02:42 AM

Curious to see if the re-releases get slipcovers. I still need to get Extract!

OneWayFilms · 03-29-2011, 04:35 AM

Great, I missed DOUBT, so maby now I can get it.

Means Clerks and Chasing Amy should actually be affordable now, since LG movies tend to be cheap.

Clark Kent · 03-29-2011, 04:50 AM

If anything, I imagine we see this line aggressively priced at Walmart. Lionsgate has always worked with Walmart to move a lot of product at cheap price points. I could see many of these at $10 in Walmart down the line. Seeing that Lionsgate is reissuing every current Miramax Blu-ray, the discs are likely to be identical in content to the Disney versions.
