It’s beginning to look a
lot like Christmas … if Paramount Home Media Distribution’s latest round of
product announcements is any indication of what is just over the Labor Day
horizon.
On Oct. 14 the “Diamond
Anniversary” of director Michael Curtiz’s 1954 musical classic, White
Christmas, starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen and Rosemary
Clooney, will be celebrated with newly-prepared DVD and Blu-ray product
offerings. No word just yet on bonus
nuggets that will be included with these collectible SKUs.
On Nov. 4, John Denver
will be featured in director Michael Pressman’s 1986 seasonal classic, The
Christmas Gift and Paramount has a Jason Robards double-feature ready
for DVD on the same date titled Holiday Family Classics … this
includes The Thanksgiving Treasure (1973) and The House Without a Christmas
Tree (1972) … both co-starring Lisa Lucas and Mildred Natwick (Best
Supporting Actress nominee in 1967 for Barefoot in the Park).
When Johnny Knoxville,
Bam Margera, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña and the rest of the gang get together they
are certainly celebrating something … perhaps not Christmas. On Oct. 14 Paramount has a four-disc
collection ready for their fans to enjoy — it is titled Jackass: The Classic TV
Collection – Unrated.
Lastly, documentary filmmaker
Andrew Rossi’s Ivory Tower, a look at the value of a college degree versus the
ever-increasing cost thereof, has been added to the Sept. 30 DVD release
calendar.
The ARR is 109 days and
the limited theatrical run has generated ticket sales of $99,555.
