They (Disney) might not be able to under conditions of the sale. The Mirimax library may be locked up for the next year or so...not really sure what the conditions of the sale are and many won't until it's revealed. Hell, the current Mirimax titles might even go Out of Print.

As for Scream, I've sampled each one and my quick PQ ratings would be :
Scream - 3.5
Scream II - 3.75
Scream III - 4.25

Scream I and II does show some DNR/EE.

Re: Canadian Blu-ray Releases - Complete List and Discussion

The only way I can see a 4-film Region-A box set for all Scream films, is if Alliance puts out another set haha. Since they will be handling most Vivendi/Weinstein titles, but who knows if they'll still be distributing the 'ol Miramax & Dimension titles in a year's time.

Christ! I hate this CA exclusive shit! I added 5 BDs to my cart thinking the prices were pretty good right now. They want $18.xx shipping! Why is it cheaper to get stuff in the US from Amazon UK than from Canada. Did somebody flunk geography? Canada is a hell of a lot closer than the UK! Hell, I probably live less than 8 hours from the border.

The main post here doesn't even list all of the CDN exclusives... There are quite a few more.

When I want to ship within Canada, its costly. But if I ship to the US its cheaper... Very odd indeed.

Make It Happen! I imported that on Blu-ray from the UK and...well, got a laugh from somebody special when I asked for an autograph last summer:
