Speaking of Paramount, we finally have an official street date for Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950) in 4K Ultra HD from Paramount Home Entertainment—look for it on 8/5, with Dolby Vision HDR.

Also coming from Paramount that day is Savage Steve Holland’s Better Off Dead (1985) in 4K Ultra HD.

The company has also set a new 4K Unrated Edition Steelbook version of Gerard Johnstone’s M3GAN (2022) for release on 6/24.

Shout! Factory has added a new 4K titles to their July slate: Derek Cianfrance’s The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) and 4K Steelbooks of Irvin Kershner’s RoboCop 2 (1990) and André Øvredal’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023).

Here’s something interesting: Chernin Entertainment and Fifth Season are releasing See: The Complete Series (2019-22) on Blu-ray on 7/8. That’s an Apple TV+ original series, which offers hope that other such series may eventually find their way to physical media.

88 Films has set Jackie Chan’s Armour of God II: Operation Condor (1991) for 4K Ultra HD release on 7/4.

And here’s something fun: Our friends at the Criterion Collection just invited actor/director Ben Affleck into the Criterion Closet to make his picks, one of which was Armageddon on DVD. And right at the end of the video, Affleck looks right at the camera and cheekily asks “Criterion, when is the 4K coming out?” Coincidence? Well, the Walt Disney Studios Restoration team has completed a new 4K remaster. Just saying! Anyway, you can watch that here.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned…!
