3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases (2 Viewers)

[David Norman]

Just as a teaser -- RSM updated their FB page apparently with a 'clue' hinting at 3 new 3D items

With their relationship with Universal and the snippets of what appear to be poster colors -- best guess for now is Minions 2, Sing 2, and The Bad Guys. Better news is that increases the possibility for at least Puss In Boots 2 later which is by consensus the best of those 4.

 

[Malcolm R]

Glad they're still working to bring out more 3D. Unfortunately I already have blu-rays of all those and am not sure I liked any of them well enough to double-dip for 3D. Maybe Sing 2.

Pardon my density, but who is RSM? Sorry, but members here throw these acronyms out all the time assuming we all know what they stand for. If "RSM" have a 3D deal with Uni, I would personally like to see JAWS (1975) released, since the studio didn't bother to give us a release themselves in spite of the wildly great reviews.

Small Company -- Random Space Media out of Australia who released the last Jumanji, last Jurassic World, the latest Spider-man and several others basically as worldwide exclusives. They also sell through Amazon Marketplace in the US as PrimeDVD (even ordering through their website other than their first release I think most US and CA customers reported shipping via a domestic Amazon Warehouse instead of slow/slower/slowest from AUS

Their list of 3D discs -- not all are exclusives but most are


Preliminary info now says May 10 -- not live yet and Amazon usually is weeks later than the direct site. Jurassic World didn't go live until after the official release date. Presumed it was to wait for stock to get to the US warehouses instead of tens of upset customers wanting to know why it hadn't shipped yet

I read somewhere that for a major studio to release a 3D blu is an addition 10 mill. That seems ridiculous knowing what the independents have been able to accomplish with a fraction of that. Might Universal be holding off for a Christmas release? Or maybe a release at the same time should Avatar get a 3D disc.

I read somewhere that for a major studio to release a 3D blu is an addition 10 mill.

Authoring a Blu-ray 3D disc from an existing digital 3D master does not cost $10 million.

Converting a 2D film to 3D at the quality level expected for a major studio theatrical release, that’s what can cost about $10 million.

 

[Malcolm R]

Possibly, but it seems like a holiday release of Jaws 3D would have been last year if that's what they wanted.

And as Josh says, I think the big cost is the conversion of the film itself, not replicating the discs.

Just received SCAR (B locked) and ALONE IN THE DARK 2 (region free). Took exactly 30 days to get here from Austria and came in 5 layers of heavy cardboard.

 

[John Sparks]

Post 3D...it was okay, not great but a keeper...Region free, with English. Didn't know what the hell was going on. Luckily, I have the first moive on DVD, which I didn't remember I had, so I'm going to watch that tomorrow.

EDIT: Just watched the DVD of ALONE IN THE DARK ('05) and it was pretty damn good! Filled in what 2 was about. Damn good video wise, with DTS 6.0 sound and in WS. The only odd ball thing it had really bright colors. Had to watch it in my B&W video setting.

$4.00 on Amazon for the DVD.

 

[John Sparks]

Just ordered from England, should get it in a few weeks....months?

Dave, since they are going for $33 each, what would the shipping be to the USA?

 

[David Norman]

Dave, since they are going for $33 each, what would the shipping be to the USA?

I think it's flat rate $15 AUS now for the 3 of them, $9.95 AUS for a single -- $10USD instead of 7USD.
Exchange rate is a bit under 0.67 I think currently and I can't for the life of me remember if they charge now or near shipment

The other forum said they were getting around $82-83USD shipped for the 3 pack.
Ostensibly it will be FS at Amazon, but it will almost always end up costing more since the item price will likely be higher and add sales tax

The last few items haven;t even had a preorder at Amazon until te discs were either in the warehouse or well on their way so 1-2 weeks after the official AUS release date. US orders direct via RSM were often shipped via the Amazon warehouse several days to a week before Amazon orders shipped of in the last disc even up for order

 

[John Sparks]

Just ordered from KL.

 

[John Sparks]

Excellent on all accounts. All my equipment got wet during the closing scene.

I gotta admit, you got my curiosity up with this one. I watched the trailer.
But, I have to ask;
John.
Is there no bar?
Is there no threshold??
Is there no bottom, man???

 

[John Sparks]

Yes, there are parameters sure:
I have a $ per month to spend
my wife who sets that
I've decided to hold off buying for awhile until new ones come out, like the 3 from Australia,
no more old stock

I hope to stick to that physiology, however lame it may seen. Saving my money for a larger screen for my HT. Want to go to a 135" from a 110".

 

[John Sparks]

Just ordered these 3. Don't tell the wife!

 

[Panman40]

Just ordered these 3. Don't tell the wife!

Yep me to John.

 

[Bryan^H]

I ordered all three too.
I don't even care for the films, just helping the cause of keeping 3D alive.
