Off-topic I know (at least in the case of EL CID), but does the Insider or anyone else know why Anchor Bay/Pinewood were able to put out great Blu-Rays of Bronston's CIRCUS WORLD and 55 DAYS AT PEKING in 2014, and stopped there. I would have thought that EL CID and THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE would have been better sellers than those two. Was it a rights issue? Poor sales? Weinstein changing his mind? Inquiring minds want to know.
Those were British releases. Different licensing. And, by the way, El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire were released by Anchor Bay in the UK in 2011.
In the US, El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire were released back in 2008 on DVD by the Weinstein-owned label The Miriam Collection. There were only 10 titles that I know of released under that label, with no other Bronston productions among them.
