Is the market in such dire shape that Sony can't release a title like Bye Bye Birdie on it's own?
This is a pretty big catalog title, one that's consistently stocked at places like Target on dvd. I think a bare-bones release of this title at $29.95 (plus tax/shipping) or higher is a non-starter. This is a film with a wide demographic, so I'm really stumped how Sony can believe that TT is the best outlet for this film? At least if it had gone to Criterion it would've been seen on store shelves (not to mention a heap of extras to at least justify the price). I think if the only place to get this title will be on TT's website, then someone is leaving serious money on the table.
A real head-scratcher, imho.
