Deaf Crocodile

I gather the reason is that they're disproportionately expensive to manufacture on a per-unit basis and this is a business in which margins are inexorably tightening all the time. And Deaf Crocodile is already operating within decidedly niche territory in terms of what they release.

See also the fact that they're being very selective about what they put out on 4K UHD (which also sends the per-unit manufacturing costs sky-high), although happily that still includes the likes of Krakatit. Whoever would have predicted the first UHD release of a Czechoslovak film to be of an obscure Otakar Vávra film from the late 1940s rather than something far more obvious from a couple of decades later?
