  • GWH DVD Still Coming…

    • We’ve discussed this before, but here’s some more official-sounding news on Miramax DVDs:
    “Miramax Special Editions: One of the more exciting bits of news I received officially from Miramax at the conference was regarding their long-rumored DVD special editions. Miramax (including their subsidiary Dimension Films) will be seriously committing to these releases, and are taking charge of features, title selection, etc., themselves, and using Buena Vista for the distribution end only. The first two titles will be Good Will Hunting and Scream, which will be 16×9 (yes!) and carry a (bound to be controversial) MSRP of $39.95. I have added a new sections for Miramax to the Release Index and the Request Infoline (I have carried over the votes from the Buena Vista section, so no need to revote).”

    Now, this is just from a newsgroup, but it sounds close to accurate. With GWH on the horizon, Clerks and Amy are sure to follow, at least before Dogma hits theatres (a theatrical tie-in ALWAYS moves units)…But the $39.95 price tag is ridiculously high. It’ll be tough to sell a large volume at that price…The Max should take a cue from Warner, who retails their stuff at $24.95 even when it’s full of extras. Hopefully they’ll come to their senses before the discs hit the market.
