That's one of the things that's great about them, and some other smaller labels. They still have that element of hucksterism that the big studios have lost. New movies, and real-world events, give a boost to older titles. Contagion shot up the streaming charts early in the pandemic. But did WB do anything special with the title on physical media? Nope.

There was more interest in Halloween and Ghostbusters beyond their origins
