• Little Shop of Horrors
• Magic Mike
• The Mask
• Neverending Story
• The Notebook
• Ocean's Trilogy
• The Perfect Storm
• Terminator 3: The Rise Of The Machines
• Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

"Contagion" that was on it has just recently been announced.



WB had MGM titles listed on the 2020 survey as well. With the exception of "Rocky", every MGM title listed that has been released (here's looking at you GWTW) was released by a boutique:

• Mad Max
• Platoon
• Point Break (1991) (Not MGM to my knowledge, but included it in the list since it was released by a boutique, though it might be an exception since Shout Factory now owns the digital rights to the title as well.)
• The Princess Bride
• Robocop
• Space Balls

It is confirmed that the 4K restoration of Little Shop of Horrors has been finished, so it will likely get an UHD. Amadeus has also finished its 4K restoration, though that is expected to be Criterion. And I believe Gone With The Wind will get an UHD this year. According to George Feltenstein, the biggest obstacle for why it hasn’t come out is the truly massive restoration that the film will require, due to very poor state of the OCN, three different strips of filn to scan and align (3-strip Technicolor), and it's almost 4 hours long.

I believe Corpse Bride will get an UHD for the special anniversary next year. Or it will go to Criterion eventually.
