Titles going OOP

[Sarah@Cult Labs]

This just in from Arrow:

Sad news people: DAWN OF THE DEAD and MARTIN are both going OOP, out of our control. Once gone they're gone, we can't print any more.

Yes this means we’ve lost the rights.

You can also check what's going OOP (or already is OOP) on this handy page!

Incidentally, this means that anything containing Dawn of the Dead will go OOP. This includes the Arrow Video Blu-ray and DVD, the ArrowDrome DVD and the ArrowDrome Trilogy of the Dead DVDs.

Arse! Bang goes my desire to eat this week then, own fault really as i shouldve bought this when i had it in front of me in the-shop-with-the-dog.

Who has picked up the UK rights to these two then; Anchor Bay?

Or are they still in 'limbo' between distributors?

In any respect, whoever has/decides to buy the UK rights to these two will have a mighty task on their hands to be able to top Arrow's releases, imo.

I reckon they've been snapped up by someone else, surely Arrow would have renewed otherwise?

They have. Arrow has posted on facebook saying that some big company has bought out the right. I can only assume Arrow licenced them for a certain time and their rights have expired. Although, the phrase "bought out" seems a little strange.

I wonder if this 'big company' is able to source a print suitable for a Blu-ray release of Martin? I doubt their package will come anywhere close to Arrow's though.

That would make sense. Shame, if it's a major these films will be chucked out on featureless discs and sold for peanuts in the supermarkets. They deserve better.

Still, now's the time to buy up a bunch of the Arrow discs and sit on them for a while. They'll become quite valuable, I reckon.

Code Red maybe???
