Funny, last year Twilight Time said they had re-licensed Christine.

Funny, last year Twilight Time said they had re-licensed Christine.

They had recently stated that was no longer the case.

[tenia]

No surprise with Christine that Sony is handling the re-issue themselves. If TT could sell 3000 copies in 8 hours that surely got Sony's attention.

It most likely sold out so quickly partly because it was limited to 3000 copies. I don't a regular non-limited edition would sell so much so quickly because there's no need to rush, it's not a limited print.

[captveg]

Sure, but 3000 copies that fast still indicates a market Sony didn't foresee, regardless of scalpers. With all the content of the release needing just a simple repurposing to a new disc image it's a no-brainer investment in their part.

I was just thinking of Arrow's experience with Hellgate and Hell Comes to Frogtown, where most likely the 1000 copies sold out not because there was a market for the movies but because it was limited.

Sony could very well press 3000 copies of Christine and take 3 years to sell them out, and that would only further consolidate their view on how it's not interesting for them to do this kind of releases.

Zathura - 10th Anniversary (2005)

At which point does the home video industry surpass the greeting card industry for exploiting anniversaries?

Unfortunately, it hasn't been restored - they're showing it because Tavernier picked it

More Capra.....You Can't Take it With You coming to blu ray Dec 8

[domino harvey]

The film with the built in defense for shouldering the cost of upgrading to the Blu-ray: Money's meant for spending!

[Drucker]

You Can't Take It With You at bluray.com

Where does this line up with other Capras? Closer to It Happened One Night, or the message films?

[domino harvey]

It's lightweight, the only message is to have fun and let loose, you only live once, &c. It's an okay film, but not one I'm in any hurry to upgrade

[bearcuborg]

I agree with Dom. The stage version with Jason Robards is my favorite version, look out for that one.

It is the twentieth anniversary of the Spice Girls' debut this year, so I get it, but I thought literally no one liked the movie

I never followed up on this, but this release was canceled never actually made it out.

I actually remember watching the movie when it got out in France in theaters. I was in junior high schoold and remember spotting my then maths teacher, accompanying his daughter. I asked him at the end of the movie if he liked it. He told me he basically slept all the way through it.

Spice World (1997)

This never materialized. I suspect it'll be a BD-R release sometime in 2017.

In a puzzling move (SOP for them), Sony is releasing a 50th Anniversary edition of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Blu-ray on February 7th.

[domino harvey]

$14.99... I love it. The biggest "fuck you" to Twilight Time since their similarly cheap and feature-packed Christine
