Good news from the producer of Barbarian: twitter.com/royleeroy25/status/1583094851389620225?s=46&t=djnuRsjv0ylbjjmVLnda3g
When will we see it? Will it happen? Who knows. No word on See How They Run though…
As for See How They Run, British people and audiences loved it. They said it might be coming out on December 21st in the USA and on the 20th of December in Great Britain, the week after Amsterdam which was a box office bomb over here in the U.K. despite it is only a DVD only release for them and the USA it’s great news it is available in three different formats, 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD.
Sadly no release on See How They Run as of yet at the moment, The Banshees of Inshirin is already out physically and Strange World is getting a region free 4K in the us and the U.K. has got the DVD and the slim 14mm Blu-ray case which comes out in February.
The haunted mansion 2024 for Cable movie for Disney plus
I will *not* be essentially blackmailed into watching movies on streaming over physical media. Disney’s attitude is inexcusable.
Why not? By streaming a movie you'll know if it's worth buying it on Bluray.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 The whole point of this video is to point out that going forward there won't be a physical copy for you to buy. Then what do you do?
@@terrybyford3605 I do agree that most movies should have a physical copy but I usually stream them first to see if it's worth owning on Bluray.
@@terrybyford3605 Simple : Piracy.
More than twenty years ago, certain film companies refused to release certain, much wanted, films onto DVD (the premium format at that time).
This situation provided an opportunity for profit minded groups (criminals/video pirates) to make a ton of money making those films available to ordinary people (I don’t agree with the practice, but it happened).
“Those who refuse to learn from history are destined to repeat it.”
It all boils down to the following choice: do Disney want to spend money on making top quality discs (which will earn them a lot of money) or do they want to spend time and money chasing multiple moving targets and in court costs, with the possibility of regaining little of their outlay.
Back at the beginning of the century, the film companies made the first choice, and made money…
(I believe that I have already seen certain CBS & Disney ‘properties’ that have not had ‘official’ disc releases, on sale in DVD format, at certain high profile on-line retailers. If Disney maintains it’s apparent direction, it can only get worse.)
They don’t see physical media as a responsibility which is dangerous for film preservation and collections
Truth.
Like When Disney Done It To Stay Alive Primeval And The Invisible
You would think that Covid-19 would have served as an incentive for MORE PEOPLE to start getting into collecting physical media
Yep! It's all about control.
They are the masters of censorship so DUH
Disney is quietly trying to phase out these 4K physical media releases, because they’re trying to force customers to stream their new movies, also why does Disney still release “DVD only” movies in 2022? Those are redundant, especially when you can just get the DVD copy with the Blu Ray pack for just $5 more! Support combo packs!
This doesn't surprise me. Disney has already proven that they don't care about physical media any more.
To be honest, they never wanted us to own physical media in the first place.
I always think about all the money they left on the table by not releasing The Mandalorian seasons, they've also canceled all Fox tv properties on physical media as well, American Horror Story hasn't had a release since Apocalypse which was in 2018
Yes, Disney even turns down the volume on the physical media they do sell.
or good movies in general
Gives a good reason why should pirate
I normally think that physical media and streaming should complement each other when it comes to home entertainment, but Disney needs to learn they are leaving money on the table by moving away entirely from physical.
Exactly
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a film through streaming and thought to myself how much I want that film on Blu.
With Disney, it has nothing to do with Money and everything to do with Control!!!!
100%
Disney has always "put films in the vault". I wouldn't expect things to ever get any better.
Welp and yet there's a nice multilanguage physical release of "The Song of South". Thanks to some rebels out there who do not put up Disney's Monopoly dictatorship of culture. And i hope more people will rebel against that and just toss Bootlegs on the market. All the money Disney could make if they would not be so far up their own asses.....
Except these films are not in any vault. They're widely available
Companies want you to own nothing, they just want to keep you indefinitely renting from them.
But it feels like Disney is just twisting the knife here since they're all ex-Fox productions, like they just dumped Hellraiser and Prey on Hulu, two movies that would have been amazing to see on the big screen.
You'll own nothing and be happy. Woke communists.
To me that is one more reason for us to buy physical media from other studios! We have to make them notice that there's money to be made there! Since I found your channel I've been buying physical media consistently and will not stop!
Only way to own…literally.
My physical media consumption is at an all time high, I'm running out of shelf space! Jeff is partially to blame.
@@MyFireVideos Exactly! He is to blame!! LOL
I've had to be picky. Blu-rays are particularly pricey in my area. Not many good deals. But I can still rent.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy renting is awesome. My library is willing to buy pretty much any 4K I request for their library so that is nice if I'm not sure I want to blind buy a disc.
To clarify, as I said in my video, no Blu-ray release scheduled for Barbarian RIGHT NOW does not mean no Blu-ray release ever.
The market can change. The internet can change things (like Sonic!) and that’s why I post these videos.
Here’s hoping we get one. It deserves it.
As soon as I saw a placeholder page for the physical release of Smile I immediately wondered how that could be when Barbarian came out first. I really hope this trend of non-physical copies for newer releases dies quickly. They're already pig headed enough with the back catalogue as it is.
Well, that's reassuring. 😅
I also hope for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment to make some releases of some 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures titles that haven't gotten a Blu-ray release yet, notably Cheaper By the Dozen (2003); Fat Albert (2004); Kingdom Come (2001); and Millions (2005).
I have a feeling it enough people ask or want it will it eventually get it.
@P T
Quite the 4K collection and a minimal Blu-ray collection.
@P T Pepper Jack is my favorite cheese.
This is why I support the bootleg companies who release all of these missing movies and series. I will continue to buy and support them. In spite of the fact the studios don't want us buying them.
Why? Just pirate them if you are going to buy a bootleg.
@@miz4535 defers responsibility of downloading movies
@@miz4535 do you know how much effort and time it takes to burn a film to Blu Ray with menus and extras? Unless you have an iso file already complete, then just having an MP4 file isn’t gonna be a quick burn to disc and done. And I don’t want ripped files. I want physical media. With designed cases and the whole package.
@@RestoredMedia with extras, menus, chapters, rendering and all that normally encompass a Blu Ray or even DVD disc design? An hour? You can't be serious....
How many discs have you designed over the years. Personally, with my Media Label, I have designed somewhere over 100 myself.
I can definitely assure you, designing a custom disc, with extras, menus with custom pictures and motion graphics , chapters, ect., rendering time and then testing to make sure the disc and all the menus work correctly, takes a lot longer than an hour. Try a few DAYS, for bigger projects... And even if you just straight render an MP4 file to iso and then burn to blu ray, with no extras at all, my hour plus of time is worth more money wise than the $12-15 I might pay for a disc, one of the other people designed already. So to me, I will gladly pay it and come out money and time ahead, with a much more complete designed product.
But that is just me. If you have the free time to do that and are happy with a play only disc, more power to you. Everyone has different or personal goals.
That is what they are going to lead to, for people to buy pirated products that they no longer want to sell. I don't use Disneyplus, I only saw it for a month and I didn't like it. I saw it because they offered me the first month for a dollar and a half.
This really weirds me out. They have no problem releasing physical media from their other film divisions, but for searchlight they deny the idea of it.
I was at the theater a couple weeks ago with the intent to watch the Avatar rerelease. We were in the theater for about 10 mins after the showtime and nothing was on the screen. So I went outside and they said oh yeah, you were supposed to get a notification but our 3D projector broke down last night. So they gave us the choice of whatever movie we wanted to see, along with 4 passes each. The 2 movies that were starting around then were Smile and Barbarian. We went with Barbarian and it was surprisingly good. Neither of us heard anything about it. It's always cool when you see a movie you know nothing about and you are pleasantly surprised.
Disney's stance doesn't surprise me, because they are working toward having every movie in their IP on streaming, whether it's Disney Plus, Hulu or whatever else they control. They want to control how and when you watch things. Just like they want to buy out every studio they can. That's why I try to grab the 4K of every movie that I like and want to rewatch, because you never know if or when they will delay releasing it on streaming, censor it, pull it from the site, or price you out of the service. I like the freedom of knowing that whenever I want to watch a movie I really like, I don't have to worry, because I have the disc. Screw Disney and their tactics!
Barbarian is one of my favorite movies of the year. I didn’t really expect a 4k from Disney, but to hear it’s not even getting a blu ray release is kinda shocking. Especially since it made 40 million on a 4 million budget is insane. I feel like Disney doesn’t even care about films in general they just wanna take over everything and continue to be obnoxiously rich. It’s disgusting
Disney just keeps disappointing. As a big Muppet fan, the one I'm bummed the most about is The Muppet Christmas Carol. The song, "when Love is Gone" was cut out of the theatrical release but released on the original VHS so many people, like myself, grew up with the song as part of the movie. Fans have been wishing it could be restored for years but they apparently lost the film. Well a year or two ago they made a huge announcement that they found the film and were restoring the song for a future 4K release. Something that greatly excited many. Not only were they going to release it on 4K but it was going to have the restored song! Then there was no news for a long time. Then the most recent D23 came and they finally announced officially a 4K release........on Disney plus..... no physical... just streaming...One of the most disappointing announcements I've ever heard.
Don’t give up total hope. That will be a popular title. And one of the bootleg companies will put it on Blu Ray. Mark my words..
Not that it's 4k, but there is a dvd of The Muppets Christmas Carol that has a widescreen version of the movie, and a full screen version with an extended scene, and the extended scene is that song. Again, not 4k. Not even wide screen lol, but it's something.
Well that’s just infuriating.
@@DangerousDevilOfficial Disney is dead set on creating a more booming bootleg industry than we've seen in decades.
I believe the 4K stream is also missing the song? I actually prefer it without the song because I feel like it kills the pace of the movie. I was very annoyed when I saw they have a 4K stream but have not released the disc! There should be a 4K disc where you can choose either version to watch.
Why is Disney doing this? seriously do they expect everyone to subscribe to their streaming service?
Probably. And their plan works so far. They got lots of subscribers. Here in Europe, almost everyone I know (including me) is a subscriber. Their physical media were disappointing especially in my country (Greece). So, they actually give us no choice. 😒
A film historian friend of mine perished in a house fire at the end of August. He left behind thousands of discs, most of which were not affected.
In trying to sell them, I keep getting told DVDs might as well be VHS at this point. He never went to even Blu Ray. It surprised me that the Criterion Seven Samurai DVD is worth only $17 used.
Glad to hear other studios are continuing on though.
Really? That's odd considering I've read DVDs keep outselling Blu-ray to this day, which I find baffling but I've read from some people that since they're easy to play anywhere, a lot people still buy them.

@@jimm8176 did you see it yet? If not, don’t waste your time… Yes, it is that bad…
@@saint6563 or "Congratulations on your success" if you should say it in future 😀
@@dwho19951
You must be very proud of yourself!
Congrats.
You can't censor or alter physical media, like what's been done for Splash, Fantasia, and Lilo & Stitch. Disney wants complete and total control of what you see TODAY, not what was originally produced. And they can't do that if they continue to release physical discs that people can then compare with the streaming version.
oh, what was altered on Lilo and Fantasia?
@@paulj5336 For Lilo, there's a quick scene where, in the original, the girl hides inside a dryer. Disney has since changed the dryer to a wooden storage cabinet with a pizza box for the front. It's so bizarre that it has to be seen to be believed and starts at 3:54:
ua-cam.com/video/hdpO-n-hqnc/v-deo.html
Fantasia (the original, not 2000) was altered in "The Pastoral Symphony" segment, where a black male centaur child appears to be the servant of a larger white female centaur. The entire black centaur was removed.
A side-by-side comparison can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/gyPFibRadto/v-deo.html
The first link actually has 10 things censored or altered on the Disney+ version versus the original.
@@fredleggett923 ah thanks for the info man. Will check this out. 🙂
Exactly. You get the woke Disney cut.
On the plus side, even though the tumble dryer scene in Lilo & Stitch was censored for the film's UK and Germany releases, when I saw it at my local Vue as part of their Mini Mornings in May, the tumble dryer scene was uncensored!
Utterly heartbroken by this. I loved this movie so much and was so excited to own it :(
This really sucks because Barbarian is one of my favorite movies of the year. Hope to God another label picks the movie up and at least gives it a Blu-ray release.
What about Ti West sequel, Pearl?
It will only encourage piracy because if it's streaming anywhere someone will capture and post it. I was afraid from the moment the Disney/Fox deal was initially floated that this would be horrible for all of us and that has proven to be true. They do not give a damn about anything but the parks and D+ and they barely are keeping up the parks anymore based on what I saw during my last visit.
@@linewalker A24 did Pearl. That's already scheduled for a blu-ray release. I'd much rather own Barbarian. 💯
@@bry6080 Thanks. Me too. Oh well, save for another quality title
Agree, this is a terrible state of affairs.
Disney has become a shadow of their former self since the company has been completely taken over by corporate suits.
Barbarian is not a Searchlight Pictures film, it is a 20th Century Studios film which is count a major film release.
I'm from Portugal and Disney, from a couple of years, just stopped putting portuguese subtitles in any european physical media. They want us to subscribe to Disney+ by force, i think this is Disney business plan after all.
This is one reason why I have been collecting Fox Searchlight pictures that I want to own on Blu Ray, such as many of the ones you showed in your example picture. I don't trust Disney to keep making the discs available for films like, say, Slumdog Millionaire so I am working on getting all the ones I want in my collection while I can still get them. But it REALLY sucks if Disney is not going to let us have that option AT ALL by not releasing films on physical media AT ALL :(
Thanks so much for your continued discussion on Physical Media!
Love your closing thought. “I couldn’t be bothered with them.” Completely agree.
the only way to deal with those denying physical media, piracy, especially Disney.
Now I know why the Abyss hasn't been released on Blu-ray
It’s only because James Cameron hasn’t given Fox/Disney approval. He has the final say for all of his movies.
This is why others are buying unofficial edition of movies that don't make it to physical media.... what choice do we have if Disney are doing this to us!
Exactly
How can they strip us of the movie if we buy it on Vudu ? We wouldn’t even get a refund ? And how is that even legal ?
I realize I've become the weird old uncle because I always tell my nieces/nephews when they come over for movie night how much better physical media is. It worked though because sometimes when I can't find a disc I give up and say "we'll just stream it" and now they insist I find the disc.
Physical media> Streaming. On streaming services they can loose the license to or get rid of a show at any time.
"You will own nothing...and you will be happy" NOT!!!
I loved Barbarian. It's a shame we can't even get a blu-ray. I hate how physical media is dying.
It's Disney being Disney the Disney vault has never dissappeared
I think it’s where it’s going. Digital copies have removed the value of physical copies. When you buy a digital copy it has $0 value at that point.
I can do without Disney. It's great to see a Films at Home notification popping up. Great video as always man.
Not me. I love Disney so much!
I'm also happy to see new video notifications from Jeff
So glad people like you are out there bringing this to fans of physical media. What is wrong with Disney???
They are the “Apple” of the movie/film world. They do what they want, don’t give any F’s about its fan base other than racking money and making you follow their will. What’s worse is that they are also so huge and have eaten up so many other studios that we like. Sad…
Disney 👎
Thanks for doing a video on this! I've been noticing this as well as I was looking for some films I wanted to add in my bluray collection. Films like The Menu and Barbarian are just nowhere to be found. It's so annoying and indeed don't understand this at all. With DVD and Bluray releases you at least can kind of keep these films alive. But if they stop doing that people will at some point just forget about them. Glad though the others studios still do blurays and DVD's.
If physical goes away, I'll be exclusively sailing the high seas.
They haven’t even been releasing new Disney Movie Club Exclusives on blu ray. The last two were in March. Ever since then, they’ve been releasing movies like Lightyear, MoM and L&T with exclusive slipcovers.
I'm genuinely surprised you didn't see Barbarian in theaters, it was a really brilliant movie, second only to Everything Everywhere All at Once this year
I didn’t because it just didn’t play in my country (Switzerland). It wasn’t even playing anywhere in the German speaking territory as far as i know. Really sad...
The fact that we still don't have The Mandalorian or any Star Wars on blu ray is all you need to know about Disney, Star Wars is a huge money maker that's just an automatic but they aren't going to release them. Another thing is they stopped releasing Family Guy on DVD too that's another big one.
They said any show that streams on their Disney+ service won’t get a physical media release. They want to drive traffic to the service.
@Jason A screw Mando I’m more pissed at no TCW S7, Considering S6 was released by Disney, I’d even be happy with a limited print run tbh.
@@Trekapedia but it's one thing to release it too soon, but release it 1-2 years after the fact is another after the big stream numbers have gone down because newer content has taken precedence. Mandalorian would sell well on physical media, as would the MCU shows (as I'm not a fan but there are a lot of hardcore MCU collectors). I give Paramount credit for putting their exclusives out on physical media down the line, they're releasing the South Park specials roughly a year after their original streamdate (the Post-Covid releases are coming out in December, which means Streaming Wars will be out next summer probably)
@@Eva_H I've very disappointed in Clone Wars Seasons 7 but The Mandalorian is one of my all time favorite shows you don't like it why the hate I think we should get all Star Wars.
@@jasona5283 I just see it was more of a priority, I don’t hate Mando at all, I just think TCW S7 should be the priority, With it, essentially, being an incomplete corrections providers who have previous seasons physically (including the movie).
Disney just about that monthly fee
If they're smart, they'll sell it to another company to handle a physical release. I'm not crossing my fingers too tightly though. Can't wait to experience "Barbarian" with all the compression and artifacting a person could want! Thanks Disney.
Streaming is more profitable for them, physical is becoming a niche. The masses don't have 'discplayers' anymore.
Let's just hope Disney doesn't buy any more studios lol
For real
Boycott disney. Don't give them one dollar. The greediest and laziest film studio of all time.
Every limited steelbook sells out on day of release. Some of that is people buying to resell on Ebay, some for their own collections. The fact that they sell on Ebay for more than retail is also telling.
These facts alone shows the demand. The number of views for 4K unboxings is also a clue.
Sadly, Disney no longer has any clue.
It's the end of an era... Disc availability will be less and less, except for classics... Last night I noticed the Red Box at my local supermarket was gone...
I love Gruv, Universal's blu ray store, truly great deals always ongoing, free shipping regardless of order size, got Jaws 4k for 11.99 for example, same with Apocalypse Now, and last week picked up The Thing 4k for 13.99. Jeff I believe you were the one who alerted me to Gruv about a year ago in one of your videos. Too bad about Disney.
I just ordered casablanca, elf, Christmas Story, to kill a mockingbird, and monsters vol 2 from Gruv! Their prices are really good. Plus the 20% your first order.
The loss of physical media means the studio can maximize profit. When the next offensive term comes out, they can edit it. Finally we will loose the the movie when the format disappears (but you can buy it on the new site).
Warner is doing it right now. Apparently if a show or movie becomes a tax write off, you can’t profit from it anymore, so shows have been deleted from streaming and digital libraries.
Iv just had enough of Disney, all we are getting is low par movie remakes and definitely quantity over quality when it comes to there TV series. Thank God for people like Jeff that will stand up and speak out against the big studio's
I respect your opinion on Disney.
The only way to combat this is to cancel your Disney subscript so A.) that they don't get your current subscription money anymore and B.) to send a message that if they don't start releasing physical media they won't get any of your future dollars.
I guess that explains why we STILL haven’t gotten The Lizzie McGuire movie on Blu-Ray
Disney's been hostile to home video since the VHS days of the 80s, with their "Vault" program and the backlog of media that they sat on without releasing for decades before streaming was even a thing. Now that they're buying other studios and franchises left and right, they get to spread that anti-home video policy across lots of films, tv shows, etc.
I've been wondering about Disney pulling crap like this. All the Disney+ exclusives haven't had a physical release. Also no mention of a Blu-ray release for Prey.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for the heads up. Man I am BUMMED about See How They Run. Studios make me nuts also when they release a movie title digital in 4K and then the physical in 1080p.
I probably would have blind bought a 4K of this!
Yeah there was a ‘No’ to Homeward Bound too & somehow I own that on BD. The market will provide where Disney refuses to. Their loss.
Disney's attitude is fanning the flames of piracy. And they completely deserve what they get.
Absolute shame to hear "See How They Run" won't receive a physical release. But sadly I'm not surprised.
I even mentioned to my dad last night I expect it to be simply thrown on Disney+ around December.
Appreciate the others who are still distributing 4K blurays. Here in the UK I've got a limited edition Wolf of Wall Street by Arrow Video incoming on 7th November and individual steelbooks with lovely cover art of each Godfather movie arriving on Halloween... That's how you treat your physical collectors! 👍
So we’re never getting the Empty Man on blu-ray
I snagged a DVD copy when it was available exclusively as a Redbox rental. Didn't know how scarce it was really going to be. Glad I liked the film!
This is insane, i never thought new releases would have to go through this
It’s fine because Hollywood no longer makes good films; none of them deserve to be released.
@@reginaldforthright805 lol biggest lie ever
@@LUCCI_25 While Reginald is being hyperbolic, I kinda agree with him. Until five years ago, I would go to the cinemas almost every week. Nowadays, I might go four times a year, tops.
While I enjoy the cinema experience (the smell of popcorn, interactions with the staff and other moviegoers, the imposing screen and sound setup, etc.), the recent crop of movies has not been impressive. I mostly just wait out the reviews to determine if I want to see them on streaming or otherwise, if at all.
In fact, I’ve been collecting older movies (90s and older) to fill the void, since recent movies don’t seem to do it for me anymore.
@@timtim2949 sure. But I go every week and last month sucked but the year has been great. Especially what’s coming out in these next months. To say movies have been shit is insane
This will only encourage more people to sail the seven seas in a pirate ship
It worries me that this may become a normal trend for Searchlight Pictures or other Disney owned studios. I really want a physical release of movies like The Banshees of Inisherin, The Menu, and a ton of others.
They are so thick-headed that they want to deny that movies they release on streaming end up torrented in top-quality digital files. Thus you don't have to depend on your internet quality to watch a top-quality movie. I joined the Disney Movie Club some years ago to pick up some exclusive releases when offered. But except for the occasional major theatrical film, the monthly offerings are movies already released, simply hashed over with a new collector's cover or box. I'm not sure why I even keep the membership these days.
i don’t think they realize how important physical copies are, they can last for life while streaming not everyone has access or the money to access
and so piracy will increase because people want to OWN IT!! not rent the movie for a undisclosed amount of time and never own it
I hate that Disney does not release their exclusive shows after like a year of streaming only. That is ridiculous. I should be able to buy a 4K of The Mandalorian by now. Maybe they feel like people would cancel their subscription if they released discs?
In my case they're losing out 100% of my money because I'm not going to purchase D+ streaming services. I hear that there's this place called Tortuga.....
And that’s EXACTLY why I canceled my Disney Plus subscription last night. One person can’t make a dent but imagine if all physical media collectors did the same thing. Imagine the damage we’d cause. Then they’d have to listen to us!
We should all go on strike and not consume disney plus, what would they do?
@@Sunshine23628 Then they’d be forced to give us what we want! The thing is we all have to stick together to pull it off! People underestimate how much power they really have. Vote with your wallets and purses. If they lost a ton of subscribers to Disney Plus, they’d have to put more love and attention into physical media then. What else will they have?
@@kotobukiya70 Exactly
They may have to change course eventually. I mean, they don't even release digital versions of their older Disney Plus shows.
Great topic !.
This is something i have been worried about for a long time.
This means they will eventually stop putting things like mcu films on blu ray as well.
Luckily i found a site which releases mcu shows and stat wars stuff on physical media.
And yes, they might be bootleg releases BUT i won't apologize for buying those.
Because i want to own things physically.
Barbarian was actually distributed by 20th Century Studios.
And that sucks that Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment doesn't wanna make a DVD/Blu-ray/4K home release for these new 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures movies.
Also, Wendy (2020) never got a DVD and Blu-ray release when it came out.
You can also add LG to the list of manufacturers abandoning DVD/Blu-ray/4K players. Not a good sign.
Australia has unfortunately been experiencing getting the blurays and dvds but no 4K for new releases and yet these are films that are out on 4k. It currently doesn't make much sense and is unfortunate over here.
Same for the dutch speaking countries... they're making a belgian / dutch release without dutch subtitles. Sony has ditched physical releases in belgium - netherlands since last year.... Physical media are dead here.
Was really hoping for Home alone 2 and Edward scissor hands this year on 4k.
I personally hate the fact these companies are not willing to make physical copies to sell to collectors like myself. It is disappointing that Disney aren't giving the fans what they want. Shameful, very shameful
I loved Barbarian. I really wanted a 4K with special features and behind the scenes.
I don't do digital only. Their loss if they won't sell me a disc.
Is there a petition or lobby group to stand up to Disney ? At least to allow favourable terms to boutique labels for Disney and Fox movies
Always knew Disney would be first to pull out of physical media. Slap in the face to fans and also the filmmakers
In Benelux Sony was the first for completely ditching dvd and (4k) blu-ray. Disney releases the movies but without the local subtitles, so many people are returning them. Since they have aquired 20th century fox, also those releases are without dutch subtitles. They ignore the complaints... they treat their loyal customers like s.... the subtitles are available, but they're too ignorant for adding them.
They aren’t going to get my money. I strictly buy physical media.
It's insane that we are getting physical releases of silent movies from the 20s, forgotten TV shows from the 70s, amateur shot on video movies, but can't get physical releases of Disney titles made today in high definition. I can't even get a bluray of Cobra Kai season 3 but can get blurays of Night Gallery and Hogan's Heroes??
This is the reason why pirating is still a viable thing to acquire films not on physical. Look at all the series that HBO/Max canned when they took over.
This pisses me off. SO much. Is there anybody we can write to to express our frustrations? I feel like if enough people say something, Disney will realize there's a market and change their minds. More money for them right?
Ideally it should be the same price to stream a movie as it is to purchase physical media. Then we get a proper choice and it would probably ensure the survival of physical media in the medium run anyway
Basically gave the reason why people should just pirate movies because you keep it forever
I wonder if ALIENS will ever see the light of day on 4K Blu-ray
I wouldn't be surprise if all those recent films will be forgotten for the next 5 years if Disney and studios keep pushing streaming over physical with their greed and power. It's a disgrace to cinema!
There is a horror film that came out this year called "The Cursed" (original title: Eight For Silver). I loved it and was excited to own it on BR / 4K, but alas, nothing - only available digitally. Hate that "Barbarian" has no 💿 forthcoming.
@@patrickrobinsob1464 Thanks for the update!
Thanks Jeff for another great video, you are spot on about Disney, they just flat out don't care about physical media for the fans and collectors, i have never seen Barbarian and if it's that good I would much rather buy the movie and watch it whenever I wanted to, that's part of the beauty of physical media, not to be tied down to streaming where half the time they don't even have the movie that you want to watch. As always keep up the great work!
Well, Disney is a loathsome company, so that really doesn't surprise me.
It's almost like a precursor to the WEF's "you'll own nothing and be happy" with streaming, which we all know is subpar.
Is there a company more out of touch with what people actually want to see than Disney? 🤔
"Strip your library "? They can do that? Has that been done?
Yes. They can. Sony removed several movies from their digital store a while back, and users could not access them afterwards.
Itunes also removes movies regularly from their catalogue as well.
This is exactly why digital purchases are a bad investment. There is no guarantee that they won't take them away from you in the future.
@@Zachary_Dale Sound illegal AF. Why do we let them get away with it?
I’m over Disney. They can keep their garbage films. I’m getting to the point that I’m not going to beg anymore. I will avoid all of Disney films regardless of the release channel. If they can’t accommodate me, I surely won’t accommodate them.
Until consumers use the power of their attention and demand physical sales, they will do what they choose.
You’ll get the quality of service you demand. Require nothing,l and you’ll get nothing.
Thank you Jeff for the heads up. It really sucks when Disney does this. I guess they to be the big bulky on the movie block lol. Cheers 🍿🎥
Buy physical copies. It's as simple as that.
It would make so much sense for Disney to license the outside catalog more to labels like Scream Factory, Vinegar, etc. They would make money and also satisfy the collectors. Disney/Chapek are just hurting themselves in the end. Loved Barbarian, was looking forward to getting the Blu-ray/4K and I could see a Scream Factory making an incredible edition of it in the future, hopefully the community will speak up and make Disney change their mind
