I wonder what Anchor Bay's balance sheet looks like:
Money from Re-Releases of Evil Dead Series DVDs: 90% of net income
Money from everything else: 10% of net income
I can just hear them in the board room, "Well guys, profits are getting low - you think it's time for another round of Evil Dead DVDs?? Aye!"

I don't see any reason for them not to do an AoD BOTD edition, so I think we're guaranteed a 3-pack in the near future... I'll probably stick with my current "regular" editions, as I have a paralyzing fear of getting my discs scratched

So, the rights went back to Universal? How does that work? Did they only have it for so many years or something?

Come to think of it, I remember now that the Boomstick Edition of AoD had the Universal logo on the packaging. Yet the discs themselves were the same as the previous Anchor Bay ones. So yeah.. I'm not sure how that works..

Yeah it was Universal then but every bit of "Army of Darkness" merchandise released in North America for the past 5 years or so has had the MGM logo on it. It's very possible that MGM may now own the rights.

From that review:
I didn't think DVD reviewers said that anymore. In fact, I'd bet that this was said several times about the previous two releases, and will be said again. In this industry, they should really know better.
...I'm thinking that this is about the best it can/ever will look
