CRIMSON PEAK (2015) LIMITED EDITION.
Available to Pre-order from Arrow Video US Direct & Amazon US - TBA: Release Date: May 21st
From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realized journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance...
Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain), Thomas's sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help her discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak.
Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro's film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here in sumptuous special packaging, with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight into the making of this modern Gothic classic.

NARC (2002) LIMITED EDITION
Available to Pre-order from Arrow Video US Direct & Amazon US - TBA: Release Date: May 21st
A natural successor to the violent thrillers of the 70s, director Joe Carnahan's breakthrough Narc brings the genre screaming into a new era, setting the standard for the modern cop drama with its gritty, unrelenting tone and style.
In wintry Detroit, narcotics cop Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) is recovering from an undercover operation gone wrong. In the hopes of being assigned a quiet desk job, he agrees to return to active duty and partner up with Detective Henry Oak (Ray Liotta) to investigate the apparent murder of Oak's former partner. As both men become lost in the depths of the case, boundaries become blurred, and their relationship begins to vacillate between intensely personal and unsettlingly suspicious.
One of the best crime films of the 21st century, Narc is back in an intense new filmmaker-approved 4K remaster, with brutally immersive Atmos audio, and featuring hours of previously unreleased on-set interviews and brand-new bonus features.

This isn't a surprise given that Furiosa is due for release in Theatres in May '24
I suspect the studio are funding it from the new films press and promo budget

Where's the best place to order Arrow video releases from in NZ?
Other collector's on this thread have reported that JB Hi-Fi stores have imported some titles. You would need to browse their stores, they are not available in every store, or online. It's pot luck really.
The only other way is to import directly from Arrow Video US or Arrow Films UK. Amazon US, UK and AU also sell them. You can order from Amazon AU but the films are delivered from the US or UK.

Having mentioned Amazon Australia in my last post, I realized that I hadn't browsed the website for some time. The last time I had a look there were about seven pages to peruse, now I'm up to 33 and counting.
Most of the US, UK and some German imports are available from there. To know which film is coming from the UK, the case usually has the classification stickers on it. The US cases don't have classification stickers, but most have a Digital Copy included.
The prices are, to say the least, slightly inflated. You have to be patient and make up a wish list, checking regularly can unveil some good deals. Also, all purchases count toward the AU$59 free shipping offer. I'm trying to purchase Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 {AU$36] but I haven't been able to find another reasonably priced title that I want yet (still browsing). 60 pages and counting. 87 pages altogether. The later pages are mostly titles that are unavailable at this time.

Welcome to the Weekly NEW ZEALAND 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Release Schedule for Thursday February 29th.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and The Hunger Games 5-Film Collection were to be released this week, but they have been pushed back to the same date as the Hunger Games SteelBook Edition which is March 27th. So, no new releases this week. The good news is that things are starting to get underway after a long period of inactivity. The Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom SteelBook Edition and the Aquaman 2-Film Collection have both been announced this week along with Wonka SteelBook Edition. Just announced today are The Departed (2006) and The Goonies (1985). With Mighty Ape seemingly opting out of 4K Ultra HD sales, there will now be just the JBNZ Pre-order price shown in the schedule

Its not been confirmed if a Blu-ray will be included in the Standard or SteelBook Editions, but I would expect the SteelBook to have one included.
The film is getting rave reviews from critics; one said that "it's the best Sci-Fi movie ever made" which is quite a statement. It appears that it is one of those films that has to be seen on the largest cinema screen available in your town. NZ cinemas are showing it now.
