Is Criterion not going to announce anything today? Why?

If they don’t announce today, it could be for any number of reasons, from studio interference to cover art approval.

shane01 · 05-15-2025, 09:45 PM

Maybe a commissioned artist forgot to add their cover art to the Criterion Dropbox this morning.

Everything was all set but they didn’t like the tone of your post.

aladdin123 · 05-15-2025, 11:37 PM

My disappointment is inmesurable and my day is ruined. I don't think we're getting announcements today.

BobSimms · 05-15-2025, 11:42 PM

No, don’t worry, they’re still coming—that was just a sock account created to start trouble, who said they’ve been postponed.

I mean, I guess they could come tomorrow (Friday) and not Monday?

I found this post today in reddit about previous weird Criterion delays:

https://www.reddit.com/r/criterion/c...cement_delays/

One of the most legendary announcement delays came when the October 2019 slate was to be announced. This slate was to include Spine 1000, speculated at the time to be a Godzilla set. July 15th came with no announcement. Then the 16th and 17th came. No announcement. Finally, on the 18th around 11am, Criterion announced (most of) their October slate, but neglected to include Spine 1000 alongside 998 (When We Were Kings) and 999 (Matewan). Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films (Spine 1000) wouldn't be announced until July 25th.

The November 2020 slate also faced an extended delay, with none really sure what to expect from the slate or why exactly it was delayed. It was August 2020, after all, so most Criterion diehards were sitting at home, working remotely, endlessly refreshing the Coming Soon page. The 15th, 16th, and 17th passed without an announcement, until finally August 18th brought the November slate with an absolutely hilarious reason for the delay - the Moonstruck cover art had not been finalized/approved yet.

Finally, in April 2022, the July 2022 slate was set to be announced, and how exciting it would be! Recent Oscar nom Drive My Car was expected to be included, and this would only be the 2nd Barnes and Noble sale since Criterion started doing 4K releases. The 15th came and went without a peep from Criterion, when suddenly the titles (and most of their cover arts) leaked on CriterionForum. Was it real? Was it fake? Four days later, on April 19th, it was confirmed that the leak had been real, with the delay seemingly being for the Summertime cover, which had not been included in the leak.

Thank you for your time.

Yes. Both standard and 4K pre-orders went up a couple of months ago.

DaBargainHunta · 05-16-2025, 12:26 AM

Came in here wondering if there was a delay, lol.

Great thread!

hoytereden · 05-16-2025, 12:41 AM

In the olden days, when I usually could expect at least a couple of must-haves a month, this kind of delay would have really bugged me. Nowadays, when I have lower expectations; not so much.

sandman slim · 05-16-2025, 12:52 AM

Just woke up, still no announcements?

AnthonyGG · 05-16-2025, 01:18 AM

So apparently Alan Rudolph's never before released to home video in any format 1978 film Remember My Name starring Geraldine Chaplin and Anthony Perkins will be making its way onto the Criterion Channel next month. I've only seen a bootleg copy of it several years ago but it's fantastic. The reason it's never been released is due to music rights issues. Does anyone know if the reason it has finally made it to the channel is because the legal issues have been cleared up and we'll FINALLY see this on blu or 4K?

It was shown on tcm a couple years ago.

Jexes23 · 05-16-2025, 04:13 AM

Late.

DukeTogo84 · 05-16-2025, 04:30 AM

Hopefully the delay means something big is coming. Like Killers of the Flower Moon. Would be insane if Apple holds a Scorsese films hostage.

I'm so eager to see whether this leads with a Janus logo. Great movie.

How come Criterion didn't do Scorsese's film SILENCE?
