Quote from: Dr. Von Predator on Dec 13, 2022, 10:43:05 PMSo, I have a friend who co-wrote a Hulu exclusive (don't want to name in case this information isn't supposed to be public knowledge, and don't want them to get in trouble for it) but I inquired about a blu-ray for it. While he's in the dark when it comes to how they handle that department, he does know the deal for their exclusive was no physical media or theatrical release. However long it remains a Hulu exclusive remains to be seen. Could be for a limited time, could be permanent. With that said, I'm thinking this could be the same for PREY. In shorter words: No blu-ray/4K release for the foreseeable future.

Well that just sucks, doesn't it?
Prey streams on Disney plus in some countries aswell but I think disney owns hulu any so this probably means nothing. Isnt hulu free with a Disney membership aswell?

So perhaps it comes down to how long this Hulu exclusive deal last. Is it meant to last forever or only for a set duration? Who knows, with the changes in Disney upper management and the return of Bob Iger and firing of Bob Chapek, they might re-consider this streaming-only approach...hopefully.
doe the majority of the general public care? If its only collectors and hard core movie buffs then Disney may not think it would be profitable do do physical releases anymore, look at Cds, most people don't use them because it can be easier to use an mp3 player. I think alot of people prefer streaming because you can have accses to 1000s if movies and not have to lug around those old huge cd albums. I don't really think about it anymore and try to just go along with whatever.

But then look at Vinyl....

If it were about mass numbers nothing would ever get made ( collectables, Hobby items etc)

There will always be a core amount of people that either want the thing or they want the thing because the quality is better. There will just be less of them and perhaps they might move to steel book or collectable versions only with a higher price.

Likely it'll just come down to certain blockbusters or franchises as opposed to "every" movie getting a disc, like how it used to be.

can i ask a question:  can you stream hulu on a pc? can i stream it on ubuntu linux? do i need a special program installed to do so? do i need a special device decoder to make run on a tv or pc?        because if i can run it on  a pc then what prevents me from using something  like simplescreenrecorder to illegally record the movie?

how does streaming prevent piracy and if it doesnt what is the advantage of it over public showing and physical media?

Streaming services work on PC, but they block you from taking screencaps or recording your screen. There are other means of pirating off of them, of course, hence pirated copies existing.

As for why the studios would rather make you stream as opposed to purchase a physical copy, because then they can hit you with a monthly fee as opposed to you just buying the disc on time.

Weirdly only a DVD release, but I wonder if this might be a sign of Prey getting select regional home releases like this?

I wouldn't be surprised. The repeated suggestion that if we want it, we have to ask for it definitely implies nothings locked down, but I'm still thinking we'll get some kind of announcement this year. It hasn't even been a year since release, even though it feels like forever.

Disney CEO says they are going to reevaluate the home release market. Could be good news for a Prey blu ray.

Glad to see that! If it does happen, just hope it doesn't just mean bare-bones releases, though.

I guess we'll find out, eventually. We're still not a year post release yet, which is insane because it feels like its been ages.

This account can be.... dubious, sometimes, in its sources. So I'm not gonna put any real stock in anything. But it's been right before, and I figured it was worth posting 'cause sooner or later this was going to wind up in this thread anyways.

I almost shared this but couldn't tell if it was official anywhere. Steve Asbell, President of 20CS follows the account, so maybe there is something there.

I've been anticipating a physical release since the beginning. I bet this is true! But I'll wait to celebrate until it's confirmed via an official announcement lol
