This would be great if it included 4K discs of all 6 and 3D discs of 4 to 6. I'm not sure exactly what this release contains though.

The original Japanese release (6 films) has 10 discs which consists of individual 2D, 3D and bonus discs.

RSM might release the same thing as the Japanese edition, or combine the separate bonus material with the 2D disc and make a new release altogether with 4K and 3D discs.

Because RSM has already released a 9-film Resident Evil Blu-ray collection last year.

Thanks for the info. It would make sense for them to at least include the 4K discs but that might be unlikely.

They've done it for 'Venom' and 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', so they might and they actually can.

As I suppose a number of us have, I sent in a “thank you for releasing Jumanji and please release more 3D and I’ll support any future 3D releases you do” email. They sent back a nice reply, so I definitely think it’s worth the time to drop them a line and express interest.

Also a thank you to those who have mentioned that Jumanji isn’t necessarily their thing but they ordered it anyway to support this company hopefully doing more 3D releases in the future.

We are very happy to be releasing Jumanji and we hope to release other 3D titles in the future.

We appreciate all your feedback and will look into some of the titles you have mentioned.

Don't forget to sign up to our mailing list to be notified about all future releases!

Alpha's at the top of my wishlist.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but they list their ‘distribution partners’ at the bottom of their home page. Universal, Sony and (perhaps excitingly) Disney are all there.

The question is, has Disney ever let boutique labels generate unique discs for their content, or do they only let them repackage existing material (like with Manta Labs, blufans etc collector releases).

[GreatGreg]

Deltamac has released some Disney discs in Asia.

RSM have put up a new website, requiring users to re-register accounts and be unable to see previous orders. If you ordered from them, you probably got the email about it.

I’m also seeing they have a release of 101 Dalmatians/Part II, which looks to be probably the same as other previous releases of that 2-pack, but it’s Disney, making good on the previous mention of Disney being one of their distribution partners, so that’s something.

I haven't gotten an email from RSM yet. Seems odd having to re-register and loose your previous orders.

Yeah. Here it is, in case anyone didn’t get it:

Tell us in the comment below, what movie would you love to see on Blu-ray 3D?! ��

SO all your 3D posters post there

They are getting no love for their posts on the critically-acclaimed "French Exit", while their posts about Jumanji and 3d blus are blowing up

[J.P. Samson]

I'm not on Facebook to add to the comments, but has no one suggested Missing Link as a possible 3D release for Random Space? Even better would be a combo 4K/3D set since there was no UHD release! That goes for Alpha, too.

[RickStar]

Missing Link was mentioned.

Looks like the most requested titles were Mission Impossible Fallout and Bumblebee.

Alpha, MIB International and Dark Phoenix also got a good share of requests.

I wasn't really sure what to suggest as a future release then I had an epiphany, "They Shall Not Grow Old" would be a great niche release. Plus, what could be better, a Kiwi director and an Aussie media company teaming up together!

I'd love to have it in 3D after being blown away watching it in 3D in a theater several years ago.

Oh yeah, totally didn't think to suggest that but I imagine that would be a perfect fit.

Wish they'd give some update on the Resident Evil teaser. I want to pull the trigger on something soon, either a box set with some 3D stuff or the UHD box set that's already out.

I'd like to know what limits Random Space Media has. It looks like they have a license to sell movies from Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in Australia, which distributes most films from Sony, Universal, and Paramount from the US. Can they just get access to any 3D DCP from those studios and make up their own release and slap USPHE branding on it? Do they pay per individual movie, or do they already have license for the entire catalog?

Best case scenario, they could be our answer to getting lots of unreleased 3D, like Mission Impossible Fallout, Bumblebee, Alpha, Trolls, Captain Underpants, Angry Birds Movie 2, Hotel Transylvania 3, Emoji Movie, Wonder Park, Sherlock Gnomes, Addams Family, Monster Trucks, Ben-Hur, Men in Black: International, Dolittle, Fast & Furious 7&8, and more. They could also be our answer for 3D releases for upcoming films unlikely to be released elsewhere, including F9, Boss Baby: Family Business, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Top Gun Maverick, Rumble, etc.--basically anything from Sony/Universal/Paramount. We could literally be buying all of our new non-Warner, non-Disney, non-vintage Blu-ray 3D releases from Random Space Media in the near future.

I'm really curious what loophole they've found or deal they've made that allows them to make up their own USPHE releases that no other stores are selling.

WB and Universal have a joint distribution deal. Not sure if its also international but I wouldnt count on RSM being able to offer discs from those two.
