They were doing that with some movies more than ten years ago, when digital was still a brand new thing. I doubt the market was larger then, but they sure wanted it to be.
No judgment here, because it's your money and your right to spend it how you want, but the disc of The Flash is literally two weeks out from today as I'm posting this. That's a much shorter wait time than what we're probably going to be in for with something like Dial of Destiny.
Which is why I’ll probably just wait.
Unless, of course, you want to wait and get, say, all of the Marvel movies up to that point with matching blasé slipcovers, which will not be followed up on when the next movie is released.
Way more than that actually.
We'll have to see whether Paramount and Disney will work together on a box set or not. Paramount does retain the distribution rights for the first four films. That being said, I would assume that if there is a box set, they would just reuse the existing discs for the previous films.
I remember some things in Crystal Skull looking surprisingly funky as well, considering it was so new.
I would think that the eventual physical release of Dial will have the same large making-of documentary that is being made available with the digital release.
