With the release of the A24 Shop edition of Lamb, they mention that this will be "the first in a new line of A24 Blu-rays."

Previously, they have released the director's cut of Midsommar (UHD or Blu), The Last Black Man in San Francisco (UHD or Blu), and Krisha. https://shop.a24films.com/collections/blu-rays

David Lowery has already mentioned a special edition of The Green Knight is forthcoming.

I think it is a nice idea for boutique distributors to do their own releases, though the prices are high. A lot of their releases through Lionsgate are barebones. Some titles never even got a physical release.

Does this mean the boutique production company is becoming its own boutique UDH/Blu-ray distribution center, too? It looks like this is the only place to get Lamb right now, or at least certainly that version of it. That's fine by me, though $35 is pretty high, for me, though I really liked the movie.

dex14

It would seem they are certainly transitioning to that... at least for some titles. They have a rabid enough following who will buy from them.

I would imagine they could potentially follow a model similar to Oscilloscope. https://store.oscilloscope.net/colle...lloscope-films

I heard their UHD of Midsommar was reference quality. Never caught Lamb so I not quite ready to jump in.

dex14

It's gorgeous. The Last Black Man in San Francisco looks amazing too.

TomOpus

That bodes well for their transfers. I wonder if they'll dip into their catalog?

DeanoBKN

I sure hope so. I would definitely double dip on a handful of titles.

E Unit

Yeah, the 4K of Midsommer is great. Great movie and a great transfer. I may blind buy Lamb.

My copy of Lamb just arrived. I’m not sure why they put in the specs that it was 6x9. It is the same size as a standard Blu-ray… which is how it looked in the pictures.

I finally got tracking information today and my copy is in NJ with an delivery estimate of 1/31.

I still need to pick-up Lamb & Krisha.

Saw Krisha at a local Half Price Books a few weeks back but the packaging looked like it was put through a blender

I think I'm going to skip out on this one. The Lionsgate UHD is great. I don't really care about the packaging and commentary. I do want to see the short, but I imagine that will find its way online at some point. So for me, its just $58 for a 20 minute short.

PerryD

Yeah, if I didn't already own the 4K, I would consider getting this. Would prefer if they released a two pack of Pearl and X in 4K, still hoping for that. Thanks for posting the info though, I've grabbed a few of these exclusives, always very well done.

dex14

I'm assuming they will put out a trilogy set once MaXXXine is out.

I couldn't resist. $58 delivered.

Seems like Arrow is doing their own release as well... probably UK-only since A24 is doing the domestic release.

I'll wait and see what Arrow includes and how much they want for it, but I expect importing it won't really be worth it, and A24's will be better overall.

Toddarino

At least Arrow’s will be regular sized.

The Questyen

Too bad they are not including the Junji Ito artwork for the movie that was given out during the Japanese release.
