They're all going to be released here now. Sunrise has a few listed for Sep 15th including pretty in pink etc.

Just a delay vs the USA releases

Ahh ok.

I assume it was COVID related or something. Focusing all stock to the US at first.

I noticed the other day at Bay Street Video that their copy of Pretty in Pink was in the standard blue case. Are the Paramount Pictures Presents titles now being issued as regular editions? Or is this specific to Canada?

Based on some pictures online, I’d say the regular blue case is the Canadian edition to save costs on printing the PPP packaging bilingually.

From what I’ve seen, looks like they’re in regular cases, although clear ones plus a slipsleeve with a flap at the front, revealing the original poster art.

Pre-ordered Beetlejuice 4k when it went live, and now I am not sure when that title will be stocked?

WB - what games are you playin’ here?

listing is on 1-2 month backorder, same price at WM if you're getting antsy

Something is going on with Amazon's logistics.

I went to 7 Walmarts last week looking for that $15 Twilight Zone deal before I found a copy, but almost every one of those stores had at least one copy of each of Goonies & Beetlejuice 4k - usually placed at the bottom of their new release display. Walmart was able to get copies sent out to every store, & amazon can't fulfill pre-orders? And has stopped taking pre-orders on a large number of items - all future Kino titles non-existent, including this week's new releases like Grey Fox & Dr Who films, & last week's Agatha Christie films.

I just ordered The Grey Fox from WowHd.ca and will do the same for two of the three Agatha Christie films. Don’t know what’s going on with Amazon’s pre-order listings lately - very hit and miss.....

The Grey Fox being a Canadian film, Kino may not have the rights to release it themselves directly in Canada. Canadian films with releases from U.S. boutique labels can be weird that way. None of that explains the other recent issues with Amazon.ca, however.

KINO is distributed by UV. None of the Arrow preorder stuff is on Amazon either (Last starfighter, silent running etc). Buck Rogers isn’t on Amazon. UV distributed titles are lagging on Amazon for some reason. I’m guessing UV is just slow.

Yes but UV can only releases Kinos that Kino have the rights to in Canada. And more often than not, Canadian movies have a specific Canadian distributor (e.g. eOne). So Grey Fox not being available has nothing to do with UV's difficulties. Another example (though not a Canadian film, just a different rights holder situation) is the Criterion release of Wildlife. Not on UV's site, not on Amazon.ca. If it ever ends up on Amazon.ca, it will be through third party sellers.

The Grey Fox is on UV’s website for sale with a release date of today. Doesn’t seem to be in stock though;

Very good deal -- I'm hoping to find Season 2 (either BD or 4K) at a reasonable price but for some reason, deals on S2 are scarce.
