Speculation has arose that Killers of the Flower Moon might not see a bodily launch…a minimum of not anytime quickly.
“I was sent down from Washington D.C. to see about this Blu-ray.” Well, it might be that no one’s doin’ it, as phrase is starting to flow into that Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon might not find yourself receiving a bodily media launch – not simply within the close to future however in any respect. While this has but to be formally confirmed by studios or Scorsese himself, even the potential that this could possibly be true is a blow.
As per one social media user who might have some information on the state of affairs: “BTW, I haven’t seen it announced on here, but we got word through one of our library media fulfillment companies: They have at the very least indefinitely postponed (very likely canceled) the physical media release of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON…And no, I’m not making this up, this was, “Patron holds are being canceled, temp MARC listings are pulled from library catalog, please inform patrons if they ask.””
Again, that is removed from being a affirmation that Killers of the Flower Moon won’t ever get a bodily launch, however one can see this find yourself being the case. After all, Apple doesn’t precisely have one of the best monitor file for releasing their authentic movies on bodily media, one thing that lends assist to the idea that Killers of the Flower Moon will solely ever be accessible for obtain and digital means. Hell, Best Picture winner CODA hasn’t even acquired a Blu-ray!
We right here at JoBlo.com have made it no secret that we’re huge supporters of physical media. But if a movie – particularly one as extremely thought to be Killers of the Flower Moon – by no means has an opportunity at a Blu-ray, then how can anyone argue for you to keep it? Granted, the movie is out there on a Region 2 (primarily Europe) launch and there are region-free gamers, however not placing it out in its dwelling area can be an awfully narrow-minded resolution on the a part of Apple and Paramount.
Just for comparability, The Irishman was most generally seen on Netflix (after a restricted launch just a few weeks earlier) however can be launched by The Criterion Collection the next 12 months. While a Criterion launch of Killers of the Flower Moon can be a lot welcome, I’m unsure I see Apple and/or Paramount handing over the rights that simply if there’s cash to be made on-line.
Do you suppose Killers of the Flower Moon will ever get a bodily launch or will Apple guarantee you’ll be able to solely watch it digitally? Chime in along with your ideas under.
