I'd rather read one post with 11 guesses than 11 posts complaining about it

Okay, on topic:

The Secret Agent
12:08 East of Bucharest
Hud
Chocolat (Denis)
Four Nights of a Dreamer

The Small Back Room (the restoration screened 2 years ago) This could very well be the next P&P
There Will Be Blood …to coincide with PT’s Oscar win, wishful thinking on my part

Do we expect the announcement tomorrow or Monday?

You mean, today?

Oh, oops. I forgot it was Friday. Then I expect Monday.

I'm usually terrible at these, but I'm like 93% sure KPop Demon Hunters will be announced this round, since the news broke last month, and I see Frankenstein being a November/December kinda title.

All I got.

Edit: it's also up for pre order https://www.amazon.com/KPop-Demon-Hunte ... B0GSC8QHZB

It says the preorder is for December 31st, 2026, though so I assume that probably means it won't be announced this round.

Amazon uses December 31st as placeholder for undated physical media releases

Didn't know that, apparently though they did do this for Flow too (a title announced officially a couple months after the Amazon link opened) and given the fact that the Artwork isn't even confirmed yet, I think it's best to assume this probably isn't coming today.

Amazon took the page down.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Cape Fear (1962) / Cape Fear (1991)
Dog Day Afternoon
The Elephant Man (upgrade)
The Great Escape (upgrade)
The Secret Agent

If the rumors are true and Criterion does have both Cape Fear films, I really hope they split the films into individual releases.

Scarecrow UHD.
Dillinger is Dead blu ray upgrade.
The Innocents UHD.
Bad Timing blu ray upgrade.
The Secret Agent UHD.

Bluray.com has the link on their front page under pre-orders and it connects to Amazon

Interesting that it works through there but not the reddit post it was linked in. I was getting a sorry page, now I’m not.

They changed their ASIN code a some point, so the old link I posted broke I guess.

At any rate, I forgot they did the same thing with Flow, but it makes sense (at least to me) they'd get this out sooner rather than later, and in time for the sale in July.

EDIT: Actually, my original one went to a 4K (now gone), but now they only list a Blu-ray and DVD. It would be INSANE not to release this on 4K.

Given a December 31 release date, there's plenty of time for that to change.

The are up:
Five Easy Pieces UHD
Charade UHD
West Indies
High Art
Magellan Criterion Premiers
Hairspray UHD
Desperate Living UHD
It Was Just an Accident UHD
Carlos Saura's Flamenco Trilogy Eclipse

Titles are up: Hairspray, Desperate Living, Magellan, It Was Just An Accident, High Art, West Indies, Charade Upgrade, Five Easy Pieces upgrade, and Carlos Saura’s Flamenco Trilogy.

Of course this is the month we get more than 7 titles lol.

9 releases, Mr.DarjeelingLimited is vindicated!

Opened! Guess away

The Films of Leos Carax (Possibly complete, but more likely just Boy Meets Girl, Mauvais Sang, Lovers on the Bridge, It's Not Me)
The English Patient
Lolita
Hud
An Autumn's Tale
Empire of the Sun

Long shot, replace the Leos Carax set with a Complete Stanley Kubrick collection (minus Fear and Desire.)

Very tempting to go for 9…

Three Films by Hiroshi Teshigahara (UHD Upgrade)

Lovers on the Bridge (UHD)

Time of the Gypsies (UHD)

The Apocalypse Quartet of Konstantin Lopushansky: Letters From A Dead Man, Visitor to A Museum, Russian Symphony, Ugly Swans (UHD)

Eureka (Aoyama) (BD)

Othon + Antigone: Two Films by Straub/Huillet (BD)

Chronicle of a Disappearance (BD)

Wild at Heart
Cape Fear
Paths of Glory 4k Upgrade
Dog Day Afternoon
Hud
Velvet Goldmine

Welcome II the Terrordome
Dog Day Afternoon
Deliverance
Shadows of the Forgotten Ancestors
Time Masters

Eclipse: Sara Gomez’ Revolutionary Cuba

Criterion Premiere: Two Prosecutors
