@@Costanza009 I will say the chances of a mighty ducks 4k boxset is 85% percent not going to happen. Bc Disney is more focused on there streaming & theater releases. And since Disney gave Sony there catalog titles to release on bluray & 4k. And maybe we will start to see some of the Disney catalog titles finally getting a bluray or a 4k release in 2025. But I am not going to hold my breath on more then a handful of catalog titles from Disney actually coming out on bluray or 4k in 2025. Bc I can't see Sony focusing more on releasing Disney catalog titles over there own catalog titles getting released first. Since Sony has alot of there own catalog titles that still are not available on bluray or 4k still. Sony best thing to do is to either start licensing out there catalog titles or Disney catalog titles to the smal labels to release either on bluray or 4k
@@tomboling2309 their loss, that Trilogy on 4k I’d be standing in line for that. No profits for Disney, they’ll keep raising the price for Disney+ until people stop using because it’s too expensive. It just went up 20 dollars for the annual subscription. It goes up anymore, and I’ll stop it next year.
Best Buy HAD to have lost a ton of foot traffic and internet traffic dropping ditching physical media. I know that I personally would go biweekly at least and now I have only been to their stores twice in all of 2024. It used to be fun to go and look at new releases and random sales, now I have to rely on the internet and Walmart when I need my physical media fix
i TOTALLY AGREE. I USED TO DEFINITELY VISIT BEST BUY EVERY WEEK, SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK. IT MADE MY WEEK. I PREFER PHYSICAL MEDIA AS IT CONSISTS OF EXTRAS LIKE DELETED SCENES AND COMMENTARY, ETC. STREAMING DOES NOT DO THAT, PLUS PHYSICAL HAS ATMOS SOUND. BEST BUY WAS STUPID FOR STOPPING; I THINK THEY LOST A LOT OF REVENUE AKA MONEY. THEY LOST ME. I HARDLY GO TO BEST BUY NOW. SINCE NO MORE VIDEO SALES, I ONLY BOUGHT ONCE: USB .
It's whack because they sell the 4k players. Wouldn't someone coming in to buy A/V equipment be an easy mark to buy a couple discs from a conveniently placed display nearby? The games are with the consoles, why wouldn't they just have a rack or two of movies right there by the A/V section? It's stupid.
@ their reason was because they take up a lot of floor space, and large items, like TVs and Fridges, keep their lights on, not a 30 dollar 4k movie. I still don’t understand why they just couldn’t sell them online though. I guess they prefer the same in their warehouses too, big items.
I can only speak from experience with my friend that works at Best Buy‘s in New York City. He told me that their sales with everything has dropped and he believes it’s because there is less people in the stores and movies sold really good in his location (keep in mind. New York City does not have Walmart) I do hope Best Buy starts carrying movies again. It would make life easier for me and cheaper. My only option is Barnes & Noble’s because I’m not buying anything online.
Companies are already trying to raise prices on releases, and if tariffs are put in place like has been discussed that will guarantee an increase in prices.
The problem is there’s only ONE manufacturer that makes the discs. They need another manufacturer to make 4k discs, that would speed up the process for everyone.
I would love to see Kino doing another deal with Disney at some point, but it just doesn't seem likely even though theres a number of out of print Kino Touchstone, and Hollywood Pictures Blu-Rays that deserve re-releases. I hope it happens at some point I just don't see it being next year probably the year after.
Umbrella are absolutely phenomenal. There Hellhouse LLC set was gorgeous, and I have ordered their Art Attack Terrifier 3 pack. There work just looks different from other boutique labels.
More John Candy on 4K! All 2000 movies will have the 25th Anniversary editions. The Rock, Con-Air, Armageddon, Eraser, Cobra (Stallone), Pale Rider, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Alamo (John Wayne), Cleopatra, Ben Hur on 4K. Would love to see those.
I have a 115” projection screen and an Epson 4K projector, which apparently does a wonderful upscaling job, because I’m continually shocked how beautiful a well mastered Blu-ray looks. I just watched Hugo, and the detail, depth, and color richness is astounding. The 4K version may provide a slight uptick, but I won’t be upgrading to it on this and many other Blu-rays which are equally impressive. Hard to believe that it’s not the prime viewing option for the vast majority of people, all of whom now have at least a 1080p or 4K television to enjoy them on. I don’t see that a new release DVD is greatly less expensive than the Blu-ray version.
Ernest Goes to Camp Ernest Saves Christmas Ernest Goes to Jail Ernest Scared Stupid Those are the only Ernest Movies that would have a chance of coming to 4k and they're all owned by Disney. I'd buy them all in a heartbeat.
There are at least a couple of movies that are hitting 25th anniversary this coming year that I really hope hit 4K next year (at least on Blu-ray), those are Mission To Mars and Titan AE, if only one of those happen, hoping it’s Titan AE As far as Ernest movies are concerned, I would totally get Ernest Goes To Jail if it comes to 4K, but I would also get Ernest Saves Christmas and Ernest Scared Stupid.
Titan AE didn’t even get a blu-ray. I recently tried to watch it on DVD and it did not age well. And I think the computer animation wouldn’t look very good in 4k
Barnes & Noble has been the mecca for physical releases for at least the last four years and now people are starting to catch on. Their rotating sales from the boutique and studio labels have been a draw for me as there is always something on sale. It helps that the membership pays for itself a couple times over as they rarely ask me to join up again. I went five years before they asked me to join up again. And now they’ve added a five buck reward for every hundred spent on top of the 10% discount. It’s an awesome deal!
Ernest is Touchstone. Could see some of the Touchstone films getting 4k upgrades via Criterion. Not talking Bruckheimer productions (The Rock and Armageddon - how crazy would that be) but the Wes Anderson films. I really hope they do Michael Mann’s The Insider. I agree that What About Bob should get a 4k release. It didn’t even get a blu-ray. It has Arrow written all over it
I pray that Paramount isn't going to stop producing Blu Rays and only producing DVD and 4k.What Disney/Sony did with the third wave of Disney + shows on physical media sucks beyond the telling of it.
the price talk is funny.. i actually think the prices are great where they are.. i can remember 30 years ago buying Criterion Laserdisc editions of Se7en and Pulp Fiction for $130 each at Tower Records.. this was when i was a college student with a part time job at the food court at the mall.. fast forward to the present and i can purchase 4K Criterions for $25 while making 6 figures.. yeah movies are cheap these days
I think the Nightmare on Elm street will come in a case with trays like the Rocky Collection. I hope Disney licenses out some titles I'm tired of the steelbook only exclusives.
A possible prediction is that Disney releases a 20th Century Studios 90th Anniversary box set in 4K with the best 90 films that were released throughout the years
My prediction is 3-D movies make a come back in the form of 8K TV,s... Because face it the buck stops at 4K movies... For some reason, we our locked at the hips with Europe, and Europe banned 8K already... So that leaves room for 3-D to make a comeback, and you will not have to wear the special 3-D glasses...
I don’t think blue rays are gonna go away they have better picture quality than DVDs 📀 and they usually come in combo packs with the 4ks I want all 3 media to keep going most people that buy the same movies to blue ray is for the picture upgrade
I know we all want Best Buy to return to the physical market, but that’s a pretty ridiculous prediction. Just last year the completely removed all movies from stores to the point where Walmart got back stock and was selling 4K and Blu-ray steelbooks from Best Buy for $5. The rearranged the stores. They removed the online sale of movies as far as I can tell. And Best Buy was known for exclusives so seeing Walmart have exclusive releases is not new (they’ve had them for years as well). Best Buy knew the amount of revenue they would lose out after removing movies as part of their strategy so it’s not like they weren’t prepared. And quite frankly other big retailers like Target and even Walmart are drastically reducing their selection of physical media in stores. So it’s just wishful thinking on that one. Not bold.
We don't need physical media to get more expensive Ken. That's not a good idea ever. I think that maybe Blockbuster will make comeback next year as for best buy if they sell physical media gain I'd like to see them sell CD's again to
Heyy Ken did u ready my comment on ur other video You also have music stores 🏬 selling physical media 📀💿💿📀📀🤙🤙🤙 I have Aomeba records in Hollywood and that’s a music store that sells a lot of physical media for cds 💿 DVDs blue rays and 4ks 🤙🤙🤙
I can appreciate your enthusiasm, but you might be overestimating the the size of the Ernest fanbase. Maybe a Blu box set but 4k? I would think maybe just Camp. The rest aren't too good.. An Arrow Nightmare box set would be day one for me tho! ALWAYS love watching your vids sir!
I mean it depends on the collector, like it's the first thing that gets messed up when a release comes out so if you have it it elevates your release a little as well as it is more protection for your movies
I mean it depends on the collector, like it's the first thing that gets messed up when a release comes out so if you have it it elevates your release a little as well as it is more protection for your movies
They’re basically the equivalent of a 1st edition book. It’s collectible because they’re limited usually. IMO I like that they’re more legible. The font size is bigger and in case of Kino they have cool font
Another thing, they tend to be shinier (sometimes embossed or spot finished in some way), so they take whatever the artwork is and elevate it a bit more. Anyone that puts their cases on display likely wants packaging to look its best.
According to my friend that worked there, yes it is a small portion of sales from the things they sell, but it also brought people into the stores and now that they’re not selling them they’re overall sales are down. So there is a possibility they might get back into physical media. He has noticed overall traffic in the store is down greatly.
Does anyone's Barnes and Noble have a good selection of 4k? I can hardly find any at the locations near me. I have to resort to Amazon, which isn't near as fun.
I remember liking the Ernest movies when I was younger. I tried watching one recently and couldn’t last 10 minutes before shutting it off. So completely stupid
Predicting we're gonna see a new format Like memory chip wise There's been talks About ps6 Go on to memory cards That can do up to 8K Faster Likely to follow Like the switch \ Movies Multi format You can choose 1080 up to 8K You can download Patches to fix Problems Lot more simpler Like firmware On the media Chips
I would get What About Bob day 1. Also, charging $65 for a steelbook makes me hate Disney more than when they weren’t releasing any catalog titles. Douchebags.
Ken I don't know what you been drinking before you made your predictions for 2025. But I am pretty sure none of those will actually come true in 2025. But if what you said does come true about paying higher prices then what we paid in 2024. Then we will see the start of the end of physical media & the downward spiral of physical media. And more people getting out of collecting & buying physical media all together. Bc if the price tag keep going up then we could see physical media gone by 2030. Bc there will be a price point that around 80% percent of physical media film lovers will say the prices are too high to keep collecting. And streaming services will take over physical media bc streaming will be cheaper then buying physical media. So all of us physical media film collectors lovers need to voice our options on all this higher price tags to the studios & small labels & tell them when the prices have gone to high
I think a lot of the patents for the blu-ray format will expire in 2025, maybe 2026. If that does happen I think DVDs will be phased out for good, since companies no longer have to pay a licensing fee to make blu-ray discs anymore.
Bunch of haters on these comments We Don’t want physical media to go away Y’all keep predicting that it will They need to work on lowering the prices on the movies and make more 4K players and blue rays to solve the problem Bot everyone likes streaming like me 😅😅😅😅
Your comment is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think you understand how licensing works. It’s not just licensing on the formats you have to license the movies. Also any licenses that are about to expired will be renewed because these companies make a lot of money off of Movies in general.
@@michaeldietz2648 You completely misunderstood my comment. I did not mention anything about movie licenses, I was referring to the physical 'discs' themselves. Every blu-ray disc has to be licensed from Sony and other blu-ray disc manufacturers, whether it's some sort of flat fee or a royalty per-disc sold. If the patents were to expire, the blu-ray disc format would become royalty-free like DVDs, so they could potentially be just as common as a result.
@@firesideentertainment I don’t think you understand even if Dvd was to become a free format. It still wouldn’t matter because they have to get the licenses to put the movies on it. Companies aren’t allowed to just manufacture disc and put anything they want on it. Like I said any licenses that expire can be renewed..
Disney needs to license Barbarian to Arrow
Nahhhhh. Scream Factory would do a much better job with it. Hush is a perfect example, that release is incredible

Genuine question. Are slipcovers that big of a deal? I see people bending over backwards to collect them AND pay a high price. Whats the appeal?

Bunch of haters on these comments We Don’t want physical media to go away Y’all keep predicting that it will They need to work on lowering the prices on the movies and make more 4K players and blue rays to solve the problem Bot everyone likes streaming like me 😅😅😅😅
Your comment is absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think you understand how licensing works. It’s not just licensing on the formats you have to license the movies. Also any licenses that are about to expired will be renewed because these companies make a lot of money off of Movies in general.
@@michaeldietz2648 You completely misunderstood my comment. I did not mention anything about movie licenses, I was referring to the physical 'discs' themselves. Every blu-ray disc has to be licensed from Sony and other blu-ray disc manufacturers, whether it's some sort of flat fee or a royalty per-disc sold. If the patents were to expire, the blu-ray disc format would become royalty-free like DVDs, so they could potentially be just as common as a result.
@@firesideentertainment I don’t think you understand even if Dvd was to become a free format. It still wouldn’t matter because they have to get the licenses to put the movies on it. Companies aren’t allowed to just manufacture disc and put anything they want on it. Like I said any licenses that expire can be renewed..
