Now, however, it turns out that more than 600 different Blu-rays are also in danger, and are reported to be suffering from problems or being outright unplayable. Precisely because of disc rot. With several notable titles in the mix, as well as "expensive" releases from the Criterion Collection. Among the affected titles are: 127 Hours, Cloverfield, Elysium, Gone Girl, Hellboy, Jurassic Park 3, King Kong (Peter Jackson version), the Scream trilogy and The Witch.

When it comes to Criterion, there are 27 individual films listed among those with issues, which is remarkable considering they are considered one of the industry's leading publishers. Some of these titles include: 8½, The Seventh Seal, M, and Paris, Texas.
