It's amazing that a licensing company, Shout Factory, could offer these 4 films on Blu-ray for only $20, and that Blu-ray.com could further drop the price to $15.
I wonder what the wholesale price is on these.
After pressing, packaging, and licensing, neither 20th-Fox or Shout could be making much profit.
They must be trying to make it up on sales volume, but how much can there be of that, either?
Depending on the quality of the final product, this seems to be an ominous development for companies like Olive and Twilight Time.
I notice that while both Olive and TT have set a $30 price tag on their Blu-rays, Olive is now selling many on their website at $23-24, and you can buy some of the Olive's around the internet for a little over $18 now.

I too am very happy these didn't go the "limited run, way too expensive, tough shit if you only want to rent it via Netflix" Twilight Time route. Kudos to Shout Factory for not gouging when they really could have.
Which begs the question as to how Shout Factory can make money selling four films on Blu-ray for $15.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for using "begs the question" correctly. It's getting more and more rare to see it used properly.

They both sort of stink, but I still like THE CASSANDRA CROSSING, so I'll be getting that. Candy Bergen, however, bores me to tears.
