For those visitors new to VideoTropic: This list compiles word that we receive from the studios on when movies currently in theatrical release are being prepped for video; generally, we first hear shortly after opening weekend. Like television schedules, these are subject to revision as each studio sees what other studios are planning; but because an exact release Tuesday has not yet been signed off on those titles appearing here without parenthetical dates, we aren't yet including them on our Upcoming Titles pages. Titles and dates in red are new to the list.
June Horror: Expect the DVD releases of
Slither and Disney's (!) Stay Alive, along with The Shaggy
Dog (which couldn't have been more of a horror film if Lindsay Lohan was in
it). ATL, Larry The Cable Guy, and She's The Man will also likely street
in one of the year's slowest DVD months. Things will pick up in August with
V For Vendetta (and if sales are strong, expect a double-dip
Collector's Set for the week of the Fifth of November), Scary Movie 4,
Lucky Number Slevin, the derivative Take The Lead, and the
inexplicable American Dreamz. September will see Hard Candy (a twist on
Audition), the Sentinel
remake, and one or two early-summer blockbusters; more on that in a few
weeks.
This VideoTropic feature is your electronic bug in the conference rooms of
the studios, where we let you in on what release dates the studios are planning
for those big movies still in the theaters -- usually months before an official
studio announcement.
