Arrow Video, Imprint Films & Lionsgate Limited Make Great New 4K & Blu-ray Catalog Announcements!

by Bill Hunt

All right, we’ve got some outstanding new catalog title announcements to cover today here at The Bits—the perfect way to close out the week!

First though, we have a few more new disc reviews to share with you this morning as well…

Tim has taken a look at Charles Barton’s Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) in 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics, as well as Hanna-Barbera’s Loopy De Loop: The Complete Collection (1959-65) on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

And Dennis has shared his thoughts on Alvin Rakoff’s Death Ship (1980) on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

We’ve got a lot more new disc reviews coming next week, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for them!

Now then... just as we expected today, some of our friends at the boutique labels have made great new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray catalog announcements this morning.

We’ll start with Arrow Video, which has just announced their full July 2026 release slate.

That’s officially set to include:

To Live and Die in LA (1985) (4K – UK only) – July 5
Sex & Fury (1973) / Female Yakuza Tale (1973) (Blu-ray – UK, US, and Canada) – July 6
Hush (2016) (4K – UK only) – July 12
Red Sun (1971) (Blu-ray & 4K – US, and Canada) – July 13
Falling Down (1993) (Blu-ray & 4K – UK, US, and Canada) – July 20
Soylent Green (1973) (Blu-ray & 4K – UK, US, and Canada) – July 27
The Outfit (Blu-ray – UK, US, and Canada) – July 27

So we did indeed get a couple of sneaky Warner Bros. titles in there!

Here’s what the packaging looks like (you’ll find it below the break)... [Read on here...]

You can pre-order those titles here (in the US) and here (in the UK).

Also today, the good folks down at Via Vision’s Imprint Films have announced a new Imprint Asia release, which is none other than:

The Cinema of King Hu (4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray)

The set will include:

Sons of Good Earth (1965) – Blu-ray
Come Drink with Me (1966) – 4K UHD & Blu-ray
Dragon Inn (1967) – 4K UHD & Blu-ray
Four Moods (1970) – Blu-ray
A Touch of Zen (1971) – 4K UHD & Blu-ray
The Fate of Lee Khan (1973) – Blu-ray

Pre-orders open on May 12 (click here), with 1500 copies planned. The street date is June 24. Here’s what that looks like…

Not done yet… Paramount has recently revealed (via Alliance Entertainment) a surprise new 4K Ultra HD catalog title: King Kong (1976)! Note that this is an Amaray/Elite case repackage of their existing 4K Steelbook. Look for that on 7/30. (Amazon link here.)

Our friends at Lionsgate Limited have just added a pair of new 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray titles to their site for pre-order as well, including…

Hearts of Darkness: The Art of Eleanor Coppola (1991) (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) – May 19
Ginger Snaps: Vestron Video Collector’s Series (2000) (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) – May 19

You can pre-order those here.

And finally today, Lionsgate Limited will also be adding pre-orders for a special Michael: Collector’s Limited Edition (2026)—the new Michael Jackson biopic. This Lionsgate Limited-exclusive edition will include a 50-page photobook and special packaging. So watch for that to appear on the site later this morning or early this afternoon. Street date is TBA. [Editor's Note: It's now live on their website.]

All right, that’s all for now. Have a great weekend!

Stay tuned…
