Thanks for the laugh, leprekon!

No problem lol, but also sad it’s true.

The new site has PMS full time, I'm not even sure that they actually know what they're doing anymore.
Someone should call the Geek Squad to fix it!!!!!

They probably didn't pay for the warranty for Geek Squad!

There you go, so planned release date is November, which is about 2 months after the first wave.
November is also particular because you also end up with "Black Friday", so you want to get as much out prior to sales.

Disney is also the largest Studio, so it's unfortunately a lot of releases. Everyone will feel the pinch.

Physical media is here to stay.
Streaming competes with cable and TV, add the Covid scenario, and movie theaters that survive will be scaled down dramatically, probably to what we had as kids, no more Multiplexes.

The landscape may change for Physical Media, but new companies are popping up yearly offering titles, new and old, some that were once deemed lost forever.

Thank Niche companies like Vinegar Syndrome, Kino Lorber, Severin, Second Sight, Twilight Time, Scorpion and more.
Movie Studios are struggling as well, and many have opened up their catalogues for MOD because it's profitable.

As for SteelBooks, it's a marketing tool, unfortunately Canada is running out of retailers because this country's political climate and population size is a detriment to investors.
