West Side Story is available streaming in 4K DolbyVision, but, as far as I know, MGM still hasn't fixed the Overture, which is frustrating. I miss the old days of MGM/UA.

the terminator, killer klowns from outer space, and Bill and Ted's bogus journey on 4k please, that's all I want and I'm happy.

With The Terminator, per DGA rules, Cameron has to sign off on any video releases. It has been a title that has been offered to boutiques and rejected because they didn’t want to purchase distribution rights for a limited time and have them lapse because Cameron wouldn’t be available.

The "good" news is that WB owns Forbidden Planet, Logan's Run, Time Machine, Village of the Damned, Seven Brides, etc and could release them in 4K if they wanted.

West Side Story and Terminator are still under control of MGM and they don't seem interested in UHD.

I think the Rocky films are the only "self-released" titles so far and they're obviously through SDS (Warner/Universal distributor).

However, we've gotten quite a lot of UHDs from the boutiques, which seem more likely. And from a lot of different catalogs, too. From my count, there's 54 UHDs from MGM properties (half United Artists, rest split between MGM, AIP, Embassy, Orion, Cannon, Empire, Nelson, Hemdale, and Polygram).

I forgot about split on the Monograms. Also forgot about the Polygram titles.

Polygram is owned by Universal pictures

There's WB references including the logo and credit on the cover and disc artwork. It's because MGM's distribution relationship in general (both domestically and internationally) is with WB and not just SDS.

Thank you so much for your breakdown! If you edit it and add the above info, the list will be truly definitive and a great resource to post again and again when the questions of who owns what start popping up. Thanks again!
