Scream 4K UHD (1996)

[rocknblues81]

The blu ray looks like a cam rip from about a decade ago.

This disc is down there with 48 hrs and Predator.

If the trailer debuts in theaters with the 25th anniversary on October 10, any chance they put the trailer on the physical 4K release? I wonder how far in advance of the date the trailer was completed and when the discs were pressed.

I'm talking about the 2011 blu ray.

Do you think we’ll also get 4K transfers of 2-4? 😬

If people buy it, maybe. Everyone should buy 4 copies just to be safe.

4 is with Spyglass now and unless they want to do anything with the Weinstein Company properties… I would only expect 2 and 3 to get 4K upgrades.

Have this preordered but I don't think I'd get the sequels. They're quite bleh.

I might actually go see the Fathom Event after all just to see the new 4K master on the big screen. It won’t be nearly as fun as the time I saw it in theaters with a couple hundred other people (who were VERY enthusiastic about it), but it should look a million times better if it’s sourced from a real DCP. The first screening I went to had a DCP of the old master, and it looked about as good as you would expect blown up on a huge screen.

I’ll go on the second day. If anyone here can tip off from the first day, that would be great. The biggest clue that it’s sourced from Dish Network instead of a DCP is if the Fathom Events logo with music plays after the credits. If it’s from a DCP, the screen will go blank and the lights will come up like a regular movie when the event is over.

Lionsgate Acquires Bulk of Weinstein Film Library in Spyglass Deal

The afterlife of the Weinstein Co. continues.

On Thursday, Spyglass Media — which acquired the Weinstein Co.’s film and TV library in a bankruptcy auction three years ago — announced that it had sold the bulk of the feature film library to Lionsgate Entertainment.

The sale is part of a broader partnership, under which Lionsgate takes a 20% equity stake in Spyglass, and Spyglass gets a first-look TV deal with Lionsgate. The financial terms were not disclosed.

The sale includes three Quentin Tarantino films — “Django Unchained,” “Inglourious Basterds” and “The Hateful Eight” — as well as several other critically acclaimed Weinstein productions, including “Silver Linings Playbook,” “The Kings Speech” and “Fruitvale Station.”

Lionsgate gets to pad its library of 17,000 titles. In exchange, Spyglass gets some operating capital to focus on developing new projects. Gary Barber, who came on board as Spyglass’ CEO two years ago, remains in his role.

Lantern Capital Group, the Dallas-based private equity firm that bought the Weinstein library for $289 million in 2018, remains the majority owner of Spyglass. The other minority investors are Warner Bros. Pictures Group, Eagle Pictures, and Cineworld Group.

Spyglass will keep about 70 titles, including “Project Runway,” “The Upside,” and the forthcoming installment of the “Scream” franchise.

“This agreement continues to grow our valuable portfolio of IP while partnering us with Gary Barber, one of the leading entrepreneurs and content creators in the business,” Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said in a statement. “It is a win/win deal that creates significant incremental value for both companies while continuing to add to our global content distribution platform at a time when the demand for premium content is greater than ever.”

Lionsgate has long been the subject of sale rumors. Amazon’s recent acquisition of MGM for almost $9 billion has raised expectations about what price Lionsgate, or other smaller studios, would fetch on the open market.

In a statement, Barber said he was “grateful for the steadfast support from our strategic investors and am thrilled to align with Jon Feltheimer, Michael Burns and all our partners at Lionsgate as we look forward to expanding our relationship in creating great content and exploring strategic opportunities together in the marketplace.”

Andy Mitchell, founder and CEO of Lantern, also issued a statement on behalf of himself and the minority investors: “Two years ago, we were excited to team up with Gary and have him do what he does best — build Spyglass Media Group into a global premium content company and, in short order, increase shareholder value. Once again, he successfully exceeded those challenges, and we are delighted to continue the journey with him.”

Unsure who has Scream 4, this portion's wording is unclear to me but Spyglas is keeping Scream 5

Spyglass will keep about 70 titles, including “Project Runway,” “The Upside,” and the forthcoming installment of the “Scream” franchise.

[JackForrester]

So the first 3 are with Paramount and the last two with Lionsgate now?

[grodd]

Thought this was kinda cool. Stay at the original house.

From what the wording made it sound like in the article

Spyglass will keep about 70 titles, including “Project Runway,” “The Upside,” and the forthcoming installment of the “Scream” franchise.

is that the 70 titles are not part of the Lionsgate deal, so Scream 5 will not be part of it because Spyglass already has a deal in place for that film with Paramount who co-produced it.

Going tomorrow, so I can do that. I’m looking for no Fathom logo/music after the credits then?

Yup, stay til after the credits. Of course, it should be pretty obvious before that point too. A real DCP will have picture/sound comparable to other contemporary theatrical releases. Dish Network will be more pixilated with somewhat quiet sound. But the Fathom logo at the end would definitely confirm it. If it just sits there with jazzy music playing, it’s sadly Dish Network.

Is ot safe to assume if the original Scream sells well on UHD then 2 and 3 will be released on the format too?

The new film being a hit would also help.

What is with the quiet audio in "Dish Streamed" content in theaters? I saw a double feature a few years ago of Sweet Sixteen and The Convent, which Bloody-disgusting(I think) was hosting via Fathom. And the audio was terribly quiet which was disapointing.

Same as any streaming service, compressed audio.
