Sony is releasing Zombieland on October 1st.

German label Turbine Media Group has announced that they're releasing The Princess Bride on UHD BD (and in Dolby Vision!). MGM's hard work isn't going to waste. Hopefully Silence of the Lambs isn't too far behind.

...although it looks like there may be some backpedaling from the posts on blu-ray.com's forums, and these might just be traditional BDs in steelbooks, and the 4K listings are a mistake? Also, because the Friday remake is getting a steelbook release, there seem to be suspicions that it's the remake rather than the original coming to UHD BD, if there's a 4K release at all. Ugh, what a mess. The perils of early foreign retailer listings, I guess!

A Spanish retailer is listing The Exorcist, the original Friday the 13th, Beetlejuice, and Salem's Lot as coming to Ultra HD Blu-ray in time for Halloween. Presumably Friday the 13th will not find its way to the U.S., though, as that's handled by Paramount in my neck of the woods.

A flood of Pixar titles is on the way: Brave, Cars, Cars 2, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Finding Nemo, and Inside Out. Best Buy is getting exclusive steelbooks. Being released in early-to-mid November alongside Toy Story 4. That just leaves Up, WALL-E, A Bug's Life, and the two Monsters Inc. flicks.

I put The 7th Voyage of Sinbad as my write-in.

Sony has a poll going so that folks like us can help guide their Ultra HD Blu-ray release slate: https://secure.sonypictures.com/movies/sweepstakes/ui/sphe/polls/4k/?hs308=4KU003D

The remaining MCU titles -- Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy -- are showing up as pre-orders from at least one German retailer for October 10th. I'd imagine we'll see 'em over here around the same time. Maleficent is arriving on the same day.

Kino Lorber is moving forward with an Ultra HD Blu-ray release of the Dollars trilogy (although it'll be a while):

Not that I’ve heard. Paramount hasn’t shown any interest in releasing titles from this era on the format. Heck, I believe they only have 2 pre-‘90s titles, and they’re the usual sequel/remake/anniversary tie-ins.

It’s gonna be in one of those cardboard promo things, so I’d imagine there’ll be a couple of copies even in the all-but-de-media-fied stores. The Best Buy near me still had a huge home video section the last time I went, but the one by my family back home has been gutted to near-nothing, and it definitely sucks.

Update on Hannibal's performance and what the near-future of UHD BD (or, well, lack of it) looks to hold for KLSC:

I don't really have any fascinating updates to share, alas. I was hired by an online travel guide startup out of college. Eighteen and a half years later (!), I'm still here, although we've changed hands a few times, so now I get to say that I'm a senior software engineer for USA TODAY. Still live in the Upstate of South Carolina.

If you do the Disney Movie Rewards thing, you can get Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 for 2000 points. (And they still have Thor: Ragnarok. The first Avengers remains out of stock.)
