Arrow are locking most of their releases now, Second Sight too. What kind of business sense would it make to not release something that people have been fervently crying out for (on message boards like this one, social media, etc.), just because it's widely available (or will be in a matter of days) in another territory, region locked?
Not everyone imports, especially with the frequency of region locking these days. If Arrow for example took this attitude, 4 of their recently announced titles wouldn't happen. Including the likes of Lifeforce, which is getting more extra content than a US version. Not all releases are created equally. I fail to see any harm with UK fans wanting a UK release of a movie widely available elsewhere. |
The main point Is there is a difference between film watchers and buyers than film addicts and collectors, and sometimes it is a good thing but if a film is widely available a film buyer will buy any version irrelevant of the company it's just a film they want to them, but a collector will welcome it, but sometimes is there enough fan base of some companies to release some films to get the money back with all the money time and effort cost etc etc, if there is then fair point I agree, just saying that wouldn't a company benefit more by releasing the type of films I mentioned, instead of widely available releases..
