Imprint, who are part of the Australian Via Vision group; don't often (if ever) release 4K Ultra HD films. They seem to prefer to feed the Blu-ray market with their many catalogue titles. But that is about to change, with the announcement of a 4K Ultra HD release of Walter Hill's cult neo-noir 1978 action film... The Driver starring Ryan O'Neal, Bruce Dern and Isabelle Adjani.

 

Previously available in "The Walter Hill Collection" from Imprint, the 4K release will "lose" the Blu-ray version which was part of that collection. The accompanying five titles were Blu-ray only. The disc was mastered by Studio Canal.

 

Set for a September 4th release, the film should be available at JBAU and EzyDVD shortly. Otherwise, Via Vision/Imprint's online store.

Inside Out 2 has become the 54th film to break the US$1 Billion mark at the worldwide box-office, taking only 19 days to reach that milestone and easily becoming the highest grossing film of 2024 so far. It is Pixar Studio's fifth film to pass the landmark along with Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, Incredibles 2 and Finding Dory.

 

It's a back-to-form result for Pixar Studios who suffered badly through the pandemic, with several of their films going straight to the Disney Plus streaming service.

 

As it's a Disney owned title, it will be another import for us when it is released on physical media. As always, it will also be available on Disney Plus and Apple TV/iTunes.

Well, the mystery surrounding The Crow Standard Edition release date has now sorted itself out and both JBNZ and JBAU are allowing you to "add to cart". Still no final artwork available for it on both sides of the Tasman.

 

Specs should be the same as for the SteelBook Edition, but without the Blu-ray disc.

I was browsing Facebook earlier today and I found a post stating that an HMV store/warehouse was closing down and were offering 4K, Blu-ray and DVD's at clearance prices. They have 25 pages of 4K titles including Godzilla x Kong, Aliens and The Harry Potter 8-Film collection for NZ$8.64 each. Lots of SteelBooks are also included at NZ$14.31 and if you spend over NZ$100 you get free shipping and a free gift, which is a 4K Blu-ray Player. 

 

I almost placed an order, but then I remembered the old saying "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is" It is very tempting though 🤨

The free player sounds a bit suspect, but these things do happen occasionally. In 2009 a place in Canada closed down and I picked up around fifty movies for $1.99 each. Even with postage to NZ it was a very good deal, and the only "downside" was getting packaging in French (the discs themselves being in English with an optional French dub).

 

An as aside, I wonder why they change movie titles over there. The Ocean's 11/12/13 trilogy are known as "L'inconnu de Las Vegas", "Le Retour de Danny Ocean" and "Danny Ocean 13"!

They do, but if it's a suspicious looking domain that is one day old, it would probably be best to assume it isn't legitimate.

I didn't notice that there was a domain in the picture. You'd be right!

They are supposedly based in California, but most of the covers have UK classifications on them.

 

Daniel Craig Bond Collection $8.64, Harry Potter: 8-Eilm Collection $8.64 etc. 

 

If it is a scam, someone has gone to a lot of trouble to set it up.

The JBAU release has been wihdrawn from sale and now has a new release date of September 4th. The JBNZ listing is still showing "add to cart", but I expect that it has been auto generated and will also be withdrawn until September 4th.

Welcome to the Weekly 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray & SteelBook Release Schedule for Thursday June 27th. 

 

Godzilla x Kong Standard and SteelBook Editions, plus the 5-Film Monsterverse Collection are the big new releases for both Australia and NZ this week. 

 

 

 

 

I was in JB at lunch and staff member informed me they had been told there was an issue with the 5th movie in the Monsterverse 5 movie collection which meant it would often not play properly in some machines -0 they had had a few returned - so they had sent them back to head office for them to sort with the Distributor.

Welcome to the Weekly 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray & SteelBook Release Schedule for Thursday July 04th. 

 

10 new releases each side of the Tasman this week. The Crow Standard Edition has been pushed back to September 04th in Australia, yet JBNZ are inviting customers to "add to cart", so, just be aware that if any one orders it now, they may not get it until September.

 

A warning from WolfmanNZ that one of the discs in the Monsterverse: 5-Film Collection release from last week has problems loading on some players, and JBNZ had several returns, which have been sent back to head office for assessment and/or replacement. 

 

It's been a quiet week on the physical media front with the appropriately titled A Quiet Place: Day One being the only new announcement. It's getting good reviews, so, it might be one to add to our wish lists.

 

I will be posting the weekly schedule on Friday's from now on. Many times I have posted the schedule and something new comes up on Friday, which doesn't get entered until the following Thursday. Nothing usually happens over the weekend, so it seems like a no brainer to me.

Click on the post# links for the individual release information (artwork, specs, etc.) where available. Just click on the link and it should take you to the correct post. Then click on the back arrow to return to the schedule.

 

Individual film artwork and specs will be posted as soon as ALL info is available  •  Release dates are subject to change  •  New Releases will be displayed for one week after release date.
