Hence your analogy is irrelevant.

So if they only sell 500 copies of El Norte, Criterion would be happy and continue to release Blu-rays? They are a business and they are here to make money, not provide the best presentation to a film that garners no sales and no revenue. That's why I think they should have come out of the gate with a few more of their more well known titles (Wes Anderson films for example) before they went completely unknown. But I'm done. Were not going to agree so this is useless.
