I legitimately predicted that. for pure chaos purposes...would be a ridiculously baffling decision on their part when Rules of the Game and Breathless got them. but hopefully that part isn't true!

The Trial (UHD + Blu-ray)
Werchmeister Harmonies (UHD + Blu-ray)
Ikarie XB-1 (Blu-ray + DVD)
Saint Omer (Blu-ray + DVD)
I Know Where I'm Going! (Blu-ray upgrade)

EO (Janus Contemporaries) (Blu-ray + DVD)

I don't follow UHD and I'm no techie. I won't make UHD guesses. That's all.

The Trial
Antoine Doinel box
Mudbound
Real Life
Saint Omer

some of the Janus Contemporaries titles — my guess is EO and No Bears

Chaplin: The First National Films
Xala, Ceddo, or Moolaade (another Sembene title)
I Know Where I'm Going (upgrade)
The Trial (4K upgrade)
Sleuth (Mankiewicz)
Il Grido
Mon oncle d'Amerique

Isn’t Sleuth still stuck in the same purgatory as The Heartbreak Kid (1972)?

It’s allegedly about to get a Blu-ray release in France, but I think some healthy skepticism is due until it actually exists

Is Sleuth ‘72 really on the radar? That would be awesome.

Probably not. It will forever be stuck in Bristol Meyer purgatory.

Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up. I just threw it in there as a "well, you never know" sort
of guess. After all, I've had that old Anchor Bay dvd release sitting on my shelf for TWENTY
years now.

A Bristol Myers Squibb deal would be huge for Criterion, if for no reason other than The Stepford Wives. But color me skeptical as well.

Tales of the Four Seasons box

The Trial
BD upgrade of Equinox Flower to main collection

and a pair of titles to launch Criterion Contemporaries:

Godland
The Innocent

No clue on anything UHD

Hottest post on this site (Garrel helps), but I can't help but also think if The Trial is coming, it'll have to be in UHD, too (why can't I have both? Oh! Right.). Otherwise,

Real Life (Brooks)
Life Stinks (Brooks)
$ (Brooks)
How Do You Know (Brooks) (UHD)
Compensation / A Powerful Thang (Davis)

Tales of Four Seasons
The World
Trouble in Paradise
Dead Presidents

Probably the same reasons why The Servant isn’t

After the Renown Westerns received the UHD treatment I feel anything is game for the format honestly, so there’s no way to predict. I just wish Criterion adopted a 4K policy closer to that of the big UK boutiques where they only do a 4K when the available elements technologically justify it rather than being concerned with the optics of In The Mood For Love being available on “UHD Blu ray from the Criterion Collection”.

P.S. I don’t know enough about the Renown masters to know whether or not a 4K release is justified on strictly technical grounds, but for what it’s worth, I’d expect a 4K of The Servant to move more units than the Boetticher set.

I don’t know the numbers, but titles like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the Wes Andersons aside, I feel the “classic arthouse” titles from the late 50s and sixties tend to be their biggest sellers, even outselling stuff like The Red Shoes(4K of course worthy on technical grounds) and Rules of the Game. Seven Samurai is also a flagship title, but there are all those Toho issues of course.

OK, I'll start this off....
Early boxset announcement... Buñuel in Mexico
