I think there's a few DMC members on here. I never became a member but Ive purchased some of their exclusive titles from third party sellers on Ebay.
Question, are they going to cease physical media altogether? There were rare titles they only made available through the movie club. The assumption is they want to force people to sign up for Disney + to watch their content. But the lack of new members seemed to have Disney rethinking physical media as they are releasing more and more on DVD and Blu Ray as of late. (In order to bring in more revenue.)

I have been a member for over 10 years, and I got a lot of stuff from the club. It sounds like the production of the Bluray will continue on, thankfully. Apparently Disney was not particularly well setup internally, organizationally, for producing their own catalog titles, hence, part of the reason almost all the titles had next to no extras on these discs. Bits cover this some in that story. They were pretty good at putting out the new features on Bluray with proper extras and features, but not the older titles. Sony will likely do a better job with the catalog.
All this aside, I was sad when I got the email from the club, it has seen me through many years, I got a lot of the films that we watched with our kids for many years. I have a few months left to purchase titles. I will, oddly, I suppose, miss getting the monthly mailer with the new titles, even if I did not always buy the new stuff. I have some from the holiday mailer that i will keep at mementos. I guess, it is hard to anticipate or explain how emotionally affecting things like this can be.

I would've signed up if TRON and Fantasia got 4K Club treatments.
