Glass 4K UHD (2019)

[lgans316]

Interesting stats from member BluCollect:

This is a gentlemen's agreement between Universal and Disney. to even use David Dunn's character Universal had to ask Disney for permission to use him.

Disney accepted on the condition it be involved in a full sequel if split did well, split did do well and that created Glass. Universal and Disney have been rivals in the theme park and tv businesses for many years. prior to this film all Universal/Disney co-productions were made for TV like with monk, and would never have been at the theatrical level.

Universal serviced domestic distribution of Glass for the USA and Canada, because this involved a Touchstone Pictures character and with Touchstone now being closed by The Walt Disney Studios, Disney had to create a one time label specifically for this production.

It is the first time in a very long time Disney has had to engage in this practice (since Kids released at the NC-17 level, Disney was uncomfortable doing an NC-17 film so it created a one time label for Miramax's use when that division was still theirs, Shining Excalibur Films). Patrick in Britain is the other for Buena Vista International (the rest of the world outside the USA and Canada for Glass's purposes).

The name was only in use really on the Philippines copy of glass as Buena Vista International, all other markets used the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures name where Disney serviced the distribution of glass except for Japan (Walt Disney Studios was the name in use there, Russia (the joint partnership with Sony), Turkey (United International Pictures), Ukraine (B+H film distribution), Romania (Cineforum), Greece (Feelgood Entertainment), Hungary (Forum Hungary), and Portugal (NOS Audiovisuals) acted for Disney in the last five markets except for Russia.

No show of Dolby Vision could be due to involvement of Disney.
