With the investment wanting to be recouped and Arrow having a lock on the UK market, and a likely total lock on 'which edition globally has the best extras and is the best overall package', Arrow will be releasing these films on 4K, Blu-Ray, eventually digital, and any other method of getting them out there they can think of.

Hopefully.

But there is a chance that Arrow will just release the very same disc as released by Shout! in the US, similar to their deal between Arrow and Synapse for some of the Argento titles.

Is that really how it is w/ those Argento titles here and in UK?
