Criterion's new 'announcement window' is tearing us apart.

I still didn't get why there no "real" announcements last month.

Re: When does Criterion announce new titles?
Was there something to "get?" I thought it had been covered numerous times that the only new releases for December were the Kurosawa box and the Gimme Shelter blu-ray. The official line is that's all they have the capacity for.

Too Early; mid next week, probably.

Maybe a childish question: has Criterion ever postponed anything? I really do not know the answer to this.

Criterion postponed Grand Illusion for over a year. There have been a few cases where releases were delayed for a week or two, but even these delays a uncommon.

Around the time Criterion started releasing Blu-rays, they had to push back a bunch of their slate by a month.

Ran on Blu-ray was outright cancelled as well a month or so before release day

Re: When does Criterion announce new titles?
There have been quite a few release date delays of a week or two. I don't think anyone's kept track of them because they were pretty inconsequential.

Re: When does Criterion announce new titles?
I think it was even delayed twice : once between the announcement and the release, and once when just released, to tweak the cover art (though the 2nd time, it was available if you pre-ordered it).jindianajonz wrote:Harold and Maude was delayed if I remember correctly

That one still hurts to think about. That Studio Canal release is awful!cdnchris wrote:Ran on Blu-ray was outright cancelled as well a month or so before release day

Makes one wonder how many copies were pressed of "Ran" before it was pulled, if any at all.

Probably none. It was announced 2/13/09 for a 5/12/09 release, canceled 3/24/09 or earlier.

Re: When does Criterion announce new titles?
I believe Viridiana was delayed a while in order to feature an interview with Silvia Pinal (and of course to change the controversial cover art ).

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
CC answered this question.... Will announcements be today or pushed back a day because of Columbus Day? CC said, "Looks like tomorrow."..,Since when does Mr. Columbus make CC alter their plans.

Re: Criterion on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
It's more likely due to today being a release day and not overshadowing Eyes without a face.
