Another question for Ron, re: Universal. (1 Viewer)

[Gabe Sigler]

Ron,
Have you heard anything from Universal about future DVD screeners? Will they be providing screeners for their Dec/Jan titles (Undercover brother, Blue Crush, Bourne Identity..) or are they still sticking to their "No Screeners" policy??
Just curious.

Gabe,
Great question!
Universal is supplying screeners to just about
every media source except websites.
There will be no review of Back To The Future
or any other Universal title on this forum until
they start sending screeners out again. It is my
assumption they will not.

 

[Gabe Sigler]

That is really bad news.
I assumed that the temporary ban was only for "ET" and "Back To the Future", and that Universal would resume sending out screeners for smaller titles, in the hopes of getting more coverage. Oh well.

It usually takes Universal a long time to decide on ANYTHING has been my experience

Let's see.... Extremely inexpensive heavy promotion for an upcoming title on this and other sites with thousands of daily visitors or poor public relations by excluding the people that welcomed DVD since 1997.

Good choice!
