Tweaky Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Best avoid Disney distributed moves all together it seems, pity it includes titles on 20th Century, as it will mean having to import a 4K copy of DUNE part 2 when it is eventually released. The Link below lists all the upcoming releases under the DISNEY banner. https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/upcoming-disney-movies/ Apart for the future AVATAR movies, and the as yet unmade and untitled ALIEN movie, there is absolutely nothing on that list that I'd bother buying on disc, so no great loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more popular than Xmas over there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Avatar 2 in the cinema for the 3D, which was superb, and maybe 3, but only if the story improves. Other than that, will watch the rest on Disney+, and not even remotely interested in getting the 4K discs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Sydney FINALLY has a IMAX cinema again after a 7 year renovation - [ still slightly smaller than the one in Victoria ] So I can watch AVATAR / Oppenheimer etc, it opens today actually, so I'll probably be visiting it a lot. https://www.eventcinemas.com.au/Cinema/IMAX-Sydney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 while disney is exiting physical media.. others are going the other way and embracing with releases... "For one thing, I can confirm that 20th Century Studios and Disney are working to bring James Cameron’s Aliens (1986) to 4K Ultra HD along with The Abyss (1989) (including BOTH cuts of the film) and True Lies(1994) in the next few months. All three films have been fully remastered in 4K from new scans of the original camera negatives. More on that soon." and this is the effort going in for back catalog ! i received my exorcist and u571 4k releases recently .. cant wait to watch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully The Abyss is also released on the same. I'll be keen to hear if the transfers of Aliens and TL are worth it. I'm definitely happy to have a copy of a 4K disc if I'm going to rewatch the movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaky Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I see the USA equivalent of JB HiFi, BEST BUY has announced that it will no longer be stocking any physical media what so ever buy the end of 2023. That includes GAMES on DISC as well as DVD/BLURAY/4K DISC. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/14/business/best-buy-dvds-netflix/index.html From what I've been reading, WALLMART is to follow suite in short order. Buying anything on Disc, be it Music or Movies/ TV shows will become a very niche market, much like buying Vinyl, and the cost will escalate because of it, as we are already seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy8 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The other thing driving this is the availability of full 4K downloads with lossless audio that can be purchased. Often they are released ahead of the discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovem Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It's been confirmed that a large number of James Cameron movies are going to be released soon: (US release dates) Titanic 4KUHD, 5 December 2023 Avatar Collectors Edition and Avatar: Way Of Water Collectors Edition 4KUHD, 19 December 2023 Aliens Collectors Edition 4KUHD, The Abyss Collectors Edition 4KUHD, and True Lies Collectors Edition 4kUHD, 12 March 2024. There are also digital only 4K releases of Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies, and the Avatar movies on 12 December 2023. This is very good, but if Disney is distributing here like they are in the US we won't get physical releases of any of the movies. We have already missed out on the 4KUHD release of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. The US gets 4K, we get an old DVD release. We are being treated appallingly. We either have to put up with a digital copy, watch it on Disney streaming or import the discs at great cost from Amazon US or UK. Personally the only movie I will consider importing is True Lies. The rest I will boycott if there are no physical releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in Melbourne, if anyone wants to go in with me, we can save on postage. I don't think the last round are released on physical media until March, so it'll be a while...

Often they are released ahead of the discs. That's the situation with the 20th Century movie " The Creator ", which also falls under the Disney banner. Although since The Creator was shot entirely on SONY FX3 cameras, I imagine a LOT of up-scaling has been done, so it does make you wonder if a 4K Disc version is worth the outlay......I was surprised in was screened at IMAX cinemas TBH. I don't know as I have yet to see it. But then again thinking about it, I suppose if you are having to import a disc anyway, it might as well be a 4K one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, Titanic and Creator are region A,B,C (I'm assuming that's the bluray discs, not the 4K ones) and Aliens & True Lies are region B. How did you search to find region B discs?

If you look at the top banner it has add this code at checkout for 10% off across this site, this weekend only. I think I'll wait to order The Creator until its cheaper, what with the Aus $ so low against the US $ I see rare wares has Oppenheiner 4K and Bluray for sale at US $60.99, surely that must be a mistake, JB has it for Aus $39.98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For these two (and The Abyss which should be listed soon) long delayed from even blu-ray, I'd recommend getting in early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
