We're still having theatrical films not getting Blu-ray releases!

For anyone interested Happy As Lazzaro (DVD release only in the UK) is available in Italy on Blu Ray and has English subtitles. I received my copy today.

I will be shocked if Lucy in the Sky gets a Blu-Ray release here, a home video release at all wouldn't be too shocking, it didn't even last a week in cinemas.

Curzon issued Assayas’ latest Non-Fiction as DVD only a few weeks ago.

IFC/Sundance Selects is handling the US release so hopefully we can see a Criterion Blu-ray (or even Shout Factory).

So Long, My Son is dated for DVD release on 10th Feb 20.

Would love to see Vertigo sublicense The Nightingale to Second Sight a year from now.

Invasion Planet Earth - 30th Dec 19
Rojo, Phoenix, Scarborough - 13th Jan 20
The Cakemaker - 20th Jan 20
Tehran: City of Love, Unplanned - 27th Jan 20

All Almodovar movies have had superb Blu Ray releases in Spain. No subtitles though on most in any language even Spanish. But if the HD masters have been made why can't they be released world wide?

With Shout Factory releasing The Wizard next year in the US I wonder which studio in the UK owns the home entertainment rights to the movie?

It's Disney, well Fox, so I'm not surprised. I think they'd be mad not to release on blu-ray. On the positive side that'll be £5 saved come release day.

No sign of Best of Enemies on BR or even DVD in the UK

I suppose I keep going on about this, but I'm really confused about what eOne is doing with this film. A top British cast in a modern British drama, with good audience and critic reviews from the theatrical release in October 2019 (almost two months after the US theatrical release). The Australian and German theatrical releases from eOne came over a month later, yet the German Blu-ray is already set for 26 March and the Australian Blu-ray is set for 4 March, less than two months away.

Yet in the UK, eOne has not even announced a DVD release date, yet. There is nothing on Base and no video classification on the BBFC, although the cast and crew interviews that will likely make up the disc extras were passed last month. The Amazon and HMV DVD listings have been updated, but still there is no UK release date.

Interestingly, it seems that the UK DVD will have German audio and subtitles, likely meaning that the UK, Australian and German DVDs are identical, and thus, that the Australian and German Blu-rays will be identical, too. Unsurprisingly, this would also mean that the same Blu-ray could be issued in the UK if eOne desired.

I mean, I'm happy that the film is being released on Blu-ray, but at least give this British film some kind of British home video release.

It's currently looking like Jojo Rabbit is going to join this illustrious list. I hope that's not the case.

I wonder if they're just waiting to see if the Academy nominates the film for multiple Oscars. If it gets major nominations, I don't think they can get away with only a DVD, especially since a UHD Blu-ray is coming to the States.

Killerman is getting a UK DVD release on February 03, but no bluray release despite being released on bluray in the US.

Interestingly, Waiti’s film Hunt for the Wilderpeople currently exists as ‘DVD only’ of a sorts as the Blu-ray counterpart is OOP despite the DVD still being in print. Other Waititi is DVD only like Eagle vs. Shark.

Do we need to change the title of this thread to "We will increasingly have theatrical releases that do not get blu ray releases."?

Boy missed out on a UK Blu-ray release too.

I knew it finally secured (very limited) theatrical distribution after 6 or 7 years when Thor: Ragnarok came out, but I had no idea Kaleidoscope/Vertigo had actually put a DVD out.

In the US, the first season of What We Do in the Shadows is also DVD only

Jojo Rabbit will likely follow the same path as Ready or Not, with the Blu-ray release getting added later on.

Looks like The Last Black Man in San Francisco is skipping out on a home release all together. I hope this isn’t an indication of how Universal will treat Waves and The Lighthouse.

Well it skipped out on my local cinema too
