Red Ink And Piracy Dominate The Landscape 19 Weeks Into 2023

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

The good news or the bad news first?

Let’s get the bad news out of the way.  One week ago, the new theatrical trend projection jumped up to a possible 523 new films hitting screens nationwide during 2023.   After posting 510 and 511, a move up to 523 was welcomed news.  This week, we are back to 510 and the number of top box films ($25 million plus; $100 million plus) dropped back to 64.  See chart below.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is writer/director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (Disney) opened in top box territory with $118.4 million in ticket sales.

That was about all of the good news on the Disney front for the week.  The studio reported out earnings for the quarter, the last of the streaming studios to do so.  It wasn’t pretty.   There was a $659 million loss on the streaming front, coupled with a loss during the quarter of the number of subscribers to the Disney+ platform. 

That didn’t sit well with the investment community and before you could catch your breath and say “Jimmy Crickets” over $16 billion (that’s right, with a “B”) in stockholder equity was wiped out … you can expect that some of that will be recovered in the days and weeks ahead.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Warner Bros. Discovery reported a $55 million profit for the quarter for their streaming operation.   That’s fine, they also took a massive write-off during the period related to the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery, and therefore the studio was not concerned with any tax liabilities for profits on the streaming front.

These were helped along by changing the amortization rate of film and series production investments … Harry Potter waved his wand and there was accounting magic.

In all fairness, that accounting change is legit and it did give Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav sometime positive to talk about.  Indeed, both Disney and Warner in their quarterly earnings presentations touted an overall improvement in the loss trend for streaming.   Which, technically is true.

Last year, the studios lost roughly $800 million per month on their streaming obsession.   The first quarter of this year, the average loss for each of the three months was down to $606 million, so that is at least going in the right direction.

Streaming losses continue to mount, the theatrical release front is stagnant and the once dominate “Hollywood” studios presence in the home entertainment packaged media marketplace is but a memory.

For example, through the period ending May 12, 2023 (19 weeks into the calendar year), there have been 11,475 new DVD releases.  The “Hollywood” studios accounted for a combined SKU count of just 140 titles (which includes the soon to be history affiliate labels), or 1.22 percent of the release share. 

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

One-Point-Two-Two Percent … let that sink in. 

Traditional labels — legitimate sources, for lack of a better description (173 active during the period) —contributed another 1,271 new DVD titles during the same period, or 11.08 percent.  

This means that 87.7 percent of all DVD releases that took place during the first 19 weeks of 2023 fell outside of what analysts view as the home entertainment marketplace.  Revenue guesstimates are based on what is perceived to be the state of the home entertainment arena, as opposed to what it actually is.  

Release and asset management decisions are then made based on the view that consumers are no longer involved with DVD.   Just look at the studio counts … it is a self-fulling prophecy.

Right now, the release pattern is … maybe a theatrical run, immediately followed by streaming and then home entertainment packaged media for some, but not all film and series programming.   That sequence is not in line with the tried and true “Promo, Better, Best” system.

Best: A theatrical launch where the studio, with exhibitors, control the revenue stream and how the film is viewed.  

Better: The home entertainment packaged media follow-up, where once again the rights’ owner controls the revenue stream by selling individual copies of the production to consumers who are willing to pay a premium price for a DVD, or a Blu-ray, or a 4K Ultra HD edition of the movie.

Promo: All other forms of viewing … in the current world cable viewings have been replaced by streaming subscriptions to various platforms.

This model — which had its origins in the garment industry — has been tossed aside in favor of unsustainable losses.   Sure, blame the pandemic, but that nonsense has passed.  Nevertheless the insanity continues.

It is worth repeating … streaming losses continue to pile up, the theatrical release front is stagnant and the once dominate “Hollywood” studios presence in the home entertainment packaged media marketplace is but a memory.

But wait, we’ve been talking in terms of DVD.   Maybe the action is with the Blu-ray format, right?

For the same 19-week period, there have been 2,982 new Blu-ray arrivals.   The “Hollywood” studios churned out 138 new releases, or 4.63 percent of the total output.   Hardly leadership.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

The traditional labels (132 active during the period) combined for 592 new titles, which accounted for 19.85 percent of the total.  

75.52 percent of the SKU counts for the Blu-ray format were outside of the traditional home entertainment purview … from an analyst POV, it didn’t happen … consumer activity is limited to what “we” see.

About now you are asking, “What’s all this phantom release activity?”  

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

It works like this, if you are streaming it, they will steal it.  Thank you very much for a pristine master of your film or series.  

Rights owners — the studios along with Amazon Prime, Netflix, Apple TV and others — are not releasing DVD or Blu-ray purchasing options to meet consumer demand.  If you stop releasing movies on DVD and Blu-ray, someone will fill the void. 

If you do not enforce copyright protections, then everything is in the public domain … you may think you own the rights to a film (or a series), but if you turn a blind eye to the enforcement of these rights, they are gone.

Returning to the DVD release front, for the first 19 week of 2023, there have been 8,088 pirated titles.   “Helpers” and “void-fillers” are having a field day to the tune of 70.48 percent of all new releases.   What is the dollar loss?   Who knows. 

When you are losing hundreds of millions of dollars each month on streaming, do you really care what you are losing elsewhere?

Blu-ray?   The “helpers” have delivered 1,939 pirated titles in just 19 weeks … that’s 65.02 percent of the total number of Blu-rays released so far in 2023.

If you are doing the math, there’s 17.22 percent of all DVDs (1,976 SKUs) and 10.50 percent of Blu-rays (313 SKUs) that are unaccounted for.   What?   How can this be?

When you add up the studios, the legitimate secondary labels and the “helpers” you come up short in the totals.  These missing SKU-counts are from broadcast specialists … micro-broadcasters, for lack of a better name.  They serve regional and local markets … some are actually pretty good at what they do.  

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Consumers want things!  These micro-broadcasters have discovered this during the past 10 to 15 years.  

Think about it, what does it take to produce a baseball game?  A basketball game?   The girl’s high school lacrosse game?   The local high school (or regional college) is going to play the game anyway, but if you are broadcasting it on your local micro-broadcast network, all you need is a video feed and someone to do play-by-play (amateurs; volunteers; parents; fans … would be broadcasters in training).

They’ve discovered a market exits for this.  How much?   Who knows?   But it keeps expanding and this segment is nowhere to be seen on the home entertainment radar. 

It’s not just sports.   The local high school has a band concert, there’s a DVD.   Summer concert in the town’s park, there’s a DVD.  

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Blu-ray too … during the first 19 weeks of 2023, these sources have put out more than twice the studio output on Blu-ray.   Micro broadcasters are putting out more Blu-rays than the “Hollywood” studios.   That’s crazy.  

They are not using Blu-ray for the HD benefits, but instead for storage capacity.  Ditto for the “helpers,” who will cram an entire 10-episode series on one Blu-ray disc.

Turning to this past week’s activities, what got pirated?   What were the studio “helpers” and “void-fillers” up to?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Paramount), The Pope’s Exorcist (Sony Pictures) and Renfield (Universal) all got “help” with Blu-ray product offerings.   The Lucas Films Animation/Disney+ series, Star Wars: Visions, Season 2 got both DVD and Blu-ray releases from two separate “void-fillers” during the week.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

The Vertigo Entertainment/Nuyorican Productions film production of director Niki Caro’s The Mother dropped on Netflix this past week and within hours it was available on Blu-ray. 

A Jennifer Lopez action film — with a production budget north of $20 million — skips theatres and you wonder why there are only 510 new theatrical releases projected for 2023.

Amazon Prime, Hallmark, Peacock, Netflix, Disney+ … and on and on all got clipped for DVD and/or Blu-ray releases this past week.

And, if that wasn’t bad enough, there is still no formal DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD release date for director James Cameron’s blockbuster, Avatar: The Way of Water.   Disney must have their reasons.   Maybe next week we will finally have news.   Ditto for Prey, Mandalorian, Barbarian and more.

Full Moon Features Readies The Blu-ray And DVD Debut Of Director Ted Nicolaou's Subspecies V: Bloodrise For July 11

The long — very long — wait is over with the news this week from Full Moon Features.  

Director Ted Nicolaou’s Subspecies V: Bloodrise will be making its debut on July 11 as both DVD and Blu-ray product offering.   MVD Entertainment Group will be providing the sales and distribution expertise to make this happen.

Our story begins back in 1991 when Nicolaou (with TerrorVision and Savage Island … and the “Desert Pursuit” segment of The Dungeonmaster under his belt) teamed up with the legendary Charles Band to deliver the first Subspecies. 

The story of the vampire Radu (played by Anders Hove) picks up two years later (1993) with Nicolaou once again joining forces with Band to serve-up Bloodstone: Subspecies II.  

The pivot point comes in 1994.  Can the series have the genre fan base to become a film franchise?   Is the story of Radu and his pursuit of Michelle (Denice Duff) compelling enough?   The answer was a resounding yes with the release of Bloodlust: Subspecies III, which picks up the action where Bloodstone: Subspecies II left off.

Radu is dead, Michelle free … the trilogy brings it all to a close.   End of the line for the Subspecies film series, right?   Not by a long shot, the fourth installment, written and directed by Ted Nicolauo, arrives in 1998 with the release of Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm.   

Finally, Michelle is able to destroy Radu once and for all with the ending having his decapitated head roasting in the sun!!!

Twenty years slipped by and rumors began circulating in 2019 that Nicolauo was in talks with both Anders Hove and Denice Duff to reprise their roles for another installment in the Subspecies saga.   It was all set for production in mid-2020 when the Covid pandemic hit and everything was put on hold.

The film was able to be resurrected, shot and finished last year.  Subspecies V: Bloodrise was previewed on March 25 of this year at the HorrorHound Weekend film festival in Indianapolis and the reaction from the audience in attendance was off the charts.

Without giving too much away, we can report that this is a prequel to the original series with the focus on Radu and how he becomes the monster that is well documented in the four films in the series.   Duff is back, but she is not Michelle in the prequel … we will let it go at that.

Subspecies V: Bloodrise, the long-awaited return to the series will be available on July 11 from Full Moon Features as both DVD and Blu-ray viewing options.

Bonus goodies include commentary from filmmaker Ted Nicolaou and the featurette titled “Bloodrise: Behind the Scenes.”

Arrow Video's Blu-ray Collection Of Blood Money: Four Western Classics Volume 2 Ready For Spaghetti Western Fans On July 25

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a Spaghetti Western collection to die for on July 25.

Titled Blood Money: Four Western Classics, Volume 2, the collection includes four new 2K film restorations — from the original 35mm camera negatives — of $10,000 Blood Money, Vengeance is Mine, Find a Place to Die and Matalo!

So let’s get to it, beginning with director Romolo Guerrieri's 1967 film release of $10,000 Blood Money gem, starring Gianna Garko (aka: Gary Hudson — Vengeance is Mine, I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death) as Django, who is on a mission for hire to track down the ruthless Vasquez (Claudio Camaso), but with double-cross after double-cross the quest soon turns very personal.

Bonus goodies include commentary by author and film historian Lee Broughton, plus three featurettes — “Tears of Django,” “The Producer Who Didn’t Like Western Movies” and “How the West was Won.”

We next shift our focus to director Giovanni Fago’s 1967 man-on-a-mission tale, Vengeance is Mine, once again starring Gianni Garko, only this time as Johnny Forest, who has made a promise to his dying mother … bring home, ALIVE, your outlaw brother, Clint Forest (played by Claudio Camaso, who played Vasquez in $10,000 Blood Money).

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

There’s just one little problem.   Clint has double-crossed the treacherous Jurago (Piero Lulli) and is now being hunted by both the law and Jurago … it may take a while to fulfill his promise!!

Bonus nuggets here include commentary by film critics Adrian J. Smith and David Flint, plus a trio of featurettes — “Cain and Abel,” “In Conversation with Nora Orlandi” and “Movie After Movie.”

It’s now 1968 and Italian filmmaker Giuliano Carnimeo’s Find a Place to Die opens in the European market, but it will be three long years before the English-dubbed presentation reaches theatres in the United States.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

American actor Jeffrey Hunter (The Great Locomotive Chase, Sergeant Rutledge, The Searchers, Hell to Eternity, King of Kings) did the “Rick Dalton” thing and went to Europe to make a series of films including the Spaghetti Western Find a Place to Die (and Super Colt 38) and would be seriously injured on the set of Viva América, which would lead to his untimely death a few months later.

Bonus features here include a new commentary by author and Western expert Howard Hughes, plus two featurettes — “Sons of Leone” and “Traditional Figure.”

Rounding out the Blood Money: Four Western Classics, Volume 2 Blu-ray collection from Arrow Video on July 25 is Cesare Canevari’s 1970 film release of Matalo!, starring Lou Castel (A Bullet for the General, Paranoia), who arrives well into the film, where an outlaw gang has taken refuge in a ghost town.   He is handy with — are you ready for this — a boomerang!

Bonus treasures here include commentary by film critics Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson and two featurettes — “A Milanese Story” and “Untold Icon.”

All four films in this Spaghetti Western collection from Arro are presented in Italian with English subtitles.

Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment Tags June 27 As The Street Date For The 4K Ultra HD Presentation Of National Lampoon's Vacation

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has a new 4K Ultra HD edition of director Harold Ramis’ summer of 1983 film adaptation of John Hughes semi-autobiographical story, National Lampoon’s Vacation, ready for delivery on June 27.

What a road trip!!   The Griswolds — Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron — pile in the “Family Truckster” and head out for Walley World.   It is a trip that will never be forgotten in the annals of movie comedies.

Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid), Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) and her “lovely” dog Dinky, the mysterious lady with the red Ferrari (Christie Brinkley) and more adventures than one deserves on a family road trip to Walley World … only to discover that it is closed!!!    No problem, the Griswolds will enjoy Walley World — they’ve come so far and been through so much — even if that means that they have to take Lasky the security guard (played by John Candy) hostage.   

Included with the 4K Ultra HD release of National Lampoon’s Vacation is a commentary option featuring director Harold Ramis, producer Matty Simmons and actors Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron.

Also added to the release calendar this past week is director Guy Ritchie’s Afghanistan War thriller, The Covenant, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim.  Both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions will be available for purchase on June 20.

The ARR is 60 days and domestic box office receipts are $15.4 million.
