Universal on Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

Found this on the danish blockbuster page:

Must be a mistake, but i think im going to order it, just to be sure, it should be on stock, and then give them hell, if its a mistake...

This is possibly another instance when a foreign distributor of the film is not the same as the US distributor (Universal). If that is the case then they can release a movie they have the rights to in the country in which they have the rights. I just looked it up and in Denmark, United International Pictures has the rights to The Bourne Identity & Supremacy. As long as UIP supports Blu-ray they can put any movie on their list in that format and release it accordingly, within that country. If someone chooses to order it and have it shipped outside that country it is their prerogative and it should be fine. Case in point, I just received a UK first edition of a book that was unavailable in the US from amazon.uk. I hope this helps.

Don't forget to let us know of the quality of the transfer.

Just bought it, will see if i get it and report back on specs + quality

Helicon · 08-12-2007, 06:03 PM

I live in Denmark, and I will check this out in my local Blockbuster tomorrow.

cartier: Are you sure, that United International Pictures also has the rights for DVD and not just theatrical?

IMDB says:

Distributors:
Universal Studios Inc. (2004) (worldwide) (all media)

moweeis · 08-12-2007, 06:10 PM

The HD-DVD in denmark is released by Universal :S

Hope that image isn't too large! But copyright notice clearly says Universal there on the HD-DVD!

Anyway, ill see in a couple of days

THE HOLIDAY is a Universal Pictures release that was distrubuted ON BD by SONY here in the U.S.

When I saw the Universal logo, I almost fell off the couch!

But then I inspected the BD case and saw that SONY was the disc distributer.

D'oh!

ClaytonMG · 08-12-2007, 06:24 PM

Actually The Holiday is from both Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures.

crackinhedz · 08-12-2007, 06:25 PM

I couldnt read it in that languauge, was it for rent or for sale??

I hit the only button available, looked like a shopping cart and it said...

"Varen er nu tilfojet til indkobskurven"

?

I am not sure, it was a quick search after all. I was primarily trying to give context to how it could be possible. Sorry for any confusion.

Matthew · 08-13-2007, 07:54 AM

Hi,

Isn't "Bruce Almighty" Universal? Because I have "Bruce Almighty" on Blu-ray

moweeis · 08-13-2007, 08:30 AM

they only own partial of the theatrical rights i think, Buena Vista is releasing in the UK.

Great movie, I hope we get Ultimatum! Otherwise I just might need to cave in for a cheap HD DVD player!

moweeis · 08-13-2007, 10:33 PM

It was just a mistake and they would fix the error now! DAMN!

CptGreedle · 08-13-2007, 10:43 PM

If only all the Universal films came out in other countries on BD and region free.. then I'd get anything I wanted!
