When we made our store closing announcement on Sunday, we could never have imagined the response from thousands of film collectors who have all come forward to place their final orders with us.

We are incredibly grateful for every one of your orders, and your support of Twilight Time to the bitter end.

As many of you have noted in the past two months, our ability to ship orders in high volume has been impeded by COVID-19, as our warehouse workers are required to follow stringent safety protocols for their protection and yours. This means that we can only process a certain number of shipments per day.

Unfortunately, we have received such a massive influx of thousands of orders in the past 3 days that our warehouse has informed us it will take a few weeks to fully catch up on shipments. All orders are being shipped out in the order received, and our warehouse is working 7 days a week to attempt to get through this backlog as fast as possible.

We ask your patience and understanding while we work diligently to meet this unprecedented demand. Please note that emails to our support staff may also be slightly delayed in receiving a response, as we are also fielding a great number of inquiries at the moment.

Thank you for your support and understanding!

But these shouldn't be, should they ? Especially the Fox lockdown : all labels are in the end blocked by this, but they're not going to shut down because of this. As for Redman's passing, my understanding is that he was doing most of the team's cohesion and with him gone, it pretty much got torn apart internally.

To me, they should have survived both of these, and it's mostly their inflexible model that prevented them to be able to go forward.

Other labels havent really been hurt by the Fox lockdown because Fox was never the major source of titles for them.
