As of right now. The film is under Sony Pictures Entertainment. Our relationship with them has been on the rocks lately. Also, they value keeping their film rights and coming out with new versions in the future.

The Passenger

It's a crime that it doesn't have a bluray.

>>78987247

Some of my colleagues didn't like the film when they showed it at our theater. More importantly, we're trying to make a profit. Not go under.

>>78987272

We will keep that in mind.

>>78987281
which?

>>78987329
Do you mean which theater?

>>78987108
You guys need more Baykino. Get out a special edition of 13 Hours or The Island both of which have barebones DVDs.

Last month, we held a meeting with Michael Bay about doing a blu-ray of Armageddon. He wanted to be hands on with process and we refused that thought. He snapped and started throwing chairs out of our offices. He even took our coffee pot that we bought from ikea.

So far, from our data from Filmstruck. It shows that our viewers didn't take part of watching those movies in high numbers. It's not worth it.

How about The Grand Budapest Hotel?

>>78987108
What's your relationship with Jerry Bruckheimer like these days? Both Crimson Tide and Con Air have really shitty DVDs with no special features that would probably sell well.

>>78987446

That's a lot of movies for our team to do. We would be tired, hungry, and probably die on a toilet.

The rest of the Lynch films. There still isn't any region 1 blu ray of lost highway or wild at heart what the fuck

Through a Glass Darkly by Bergman not having a BD is insane.

>>78987497
We had some discussions with Wes Anderson about his past work. The company and Mr. Anderson both agree it's past we relate his past work and go on from there.

>>78987457
Both. We have no interest on making Jap films that have come out this decade.

>>78987500
Mr. Bruckheimer is quiete a character. His main goal for his current work is a sequel for Top Gun, and development of new TV shows. His interest on working with us is very low.

Rare foreign recommendations

The Lobster (2015) Goodbye Lenin (2003) and Hero (2002)

>>78987529
It is noted that Mr. Lynch would want his films to be re-relased on other platforms such as us. However, in his will, he states that he doesn't want this to happen until his death.

>>78987573

Lovely pick. I'll past it around with team.

>>78987108
Any plans on releasing more classic westerns? The Red River and My Darling Clementine blu-rays are two of my most valued possessions.

>>78987602
No.

Are pursuit on the western film genre is very bumpy. We need to have a good release. So, we are trying work with Sergio's estate to get the rights for a Dollars Trilogy.

Why would you have Lena Duhams' film be apart of your collection and not Sofia Coppola? Who is one of the best if not the best contemporary female directors? Even if she's well past her time The Virgin Suicides deserves a Criterion release.

Thanks for listening.

I always questioned why the company went for that film. The only Sofia Coppola movie that is great, is :out In Translation. I'll bring it up in the next meeting.

>>78988136
Sorry, for missing you. Harmony's works is very colorful. None of his films can bring potential profit for us.

>>78988176
Why?

What about Aronofsky? Special editions of Pi or The Fountain would net a boffo cume.

>>78988157
Acquiring German film rights is very hard these days. Das Boot was a great film and our team knows there's a perfect place for that film.

>>78988161
The company is trying to spend less money on getting Jap films. I''m sorry.

>>78988270
Black Swan is a film were eyeing. But the studio is still in awe of having the rights.

>>78988211
I'd argue for you to watch it again. But I'm happy you will bring up LiT because that's really what I want, thanks.

wrong about Korine tho my man.

>>78988209
why? all their films are available on dvd and bluray.

criterion/bfi and the like need to release more films that havent had a digital transfer.

The Dollars Trilogy already has a decent release. There's no point in that. If you're going to do Spaghetti Westerns you should do The Great Silence. It's still doesn't have a fucking anamorphic transfer in the US.

>>78988387

Germany films, especially old films, are maintaining their art to be more limited on their grounds. Studios in Germany are not very wealthy compared in America and China. They need to drive in money to keep their business growing and stable. That is why German films are hardly on the TCM channel and on streaming service platforms.

How difficult is it to acquire East vs. West German films? Frank Schobel films need a Criterion release.

Our western collection is very poor. We do acknowledge it many times in the offices. We feel that we need a strong comeback and the Dollars Trilogy is something were our customers would be eager to hear of what our next western film we will release.

>>78988387
>implying OP works at Criterion/Janus Films, let alone German films rights (which wouldn't be a National problem anyway, but one dependent on the particular German production company of a particular German film)

HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA

THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. DO IT, FAGGOT.

>>78988554
No, it isn't. Robert Osborne has been critical to the TCM channel in the past regarding films in Germany. TCM expresses that they receive more thrive and viewers from Italian and French films.

>>78988528
It's life, anon.

Explain your logic in how Korine wouldn't make money back. Most of his stuff is OOP right now and goes for high money, and I see people begging left and right for a release. (And a lot of them point to a Criterion for it)

>>78988618
They've shown World on a Wire and a few other West German films before though.

>>78988635
First, the company takes a look at how much of his work has been sold to the public. If it's a low number. We don't bother.

>>78988663
That is true. But they don't value that type of cinema like the other countries. That's also one of the reasons why German films won't appear on the TCM Film Festival

Any chance of releases for either Barry Lyndon or Lolita? I've been really disappointed by all of WB's previous versions.

Does Possession or any another good horror have a chance? It's my fav genre, but you guys don't have that much.

>>78988809
Kubrick's estate has extremely strict ownership of Lolita, and Barry Lyndon would be very expensive to acquire. Dr Strangelove was surprisingly low in sales

I'll give you the most straight forward process. Yeah we throw at each other want our customers want. However, we look if the film would bring us profit, also the cost of the right has to be fair.

2) Vincent Gallo's BROWN BUNNY and BUFFALO '66

3) Wong Kar-wai box set
