I've read on another site that Master & Commander has been delayed/cancelled.
Anyone heard that news aswell?

yes, it's been discussed here a few days ago. Delayed indefinitely.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's production issues or concern of low sales that's causing them to pull M&C.

But they feel that Day after Tomorrow or The Fly will bring home the numbers?!

But still, it's annoying.

They still haven't released any titles since April, so I'm not assuming anything anymore. I expect we'll see a few more cancellations. I just hope Cast Away isn't one of them. Maybe they've test BD+ titles on players and there are issues.

Still sleeping.

According to a Fox insider, the day and date releases are still good to go. He says that Fox has their "reasons" for cancelling their catalog releases.
My guess is that they want to spread out their releases since there are a ton of titles coming out this fall/winter and they want to maximize sales next quarter.

At the rate they're going, there won't be any sales in any quarter.

Where is this coming from? It's Sunday...what Fox insider is chatting today?

I wonder what the % if announced and actually released titles Fox is at? 50%?

Then they shouldn't have announced them in the first place.

This was from a post on friday at bluray.com

Catalog releases? Does this mean Edward Scissorhands and Robocop are cancelled as well?

To be fair, they were forced out early due to the Paramount/Dreamworks news. The BDA had to do something, so I'm sure a call was placed to Fox to 'announce something' and thats what happened. Fox loves to be a cheerleader of Blu-ray yet can never actually fulfill any promises.

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but I think that is exactly what happened. Fox's hand was forced by the Paramount announcement, and now they're backing off from stuff they didn't want to announce in the first place.

I personally think Fox should issue a press release stating they will be releasing all of their A+ titles on Dec. 25, you know, just to see how many run out and buy a player!

Exactly. I'm sure they have a 'working list' of movies they WANT to release eventually and thats what got out on that special Monday.This would explain the cancellation of Amityville and M&C, as well as the late addition of 28 Days Later. If Fox announced a few more cancellations tomorrow I wouldn't be shocked. Its fully expected and its why I will hold onto my SD DVD of any movie they announce until I physically see it in the stores.

Fox is back ... to their old tricks!

I'm am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY about the BluRay edition of Robocop - thanks Fox, a trailer, yeah woohoo!

Just be glad it's not cancelled.

The movie isn't on there too?

it wouldn't surprise me if Fox just threw on the R-rated cut and called it a day - trailer + r-rated version, sounds something Fox would do.

I don't know . . . if it gets cancelled, maybe they'll get serious about releasing a version with special features to match the 2 disc DVD. Nobody should have to just be thankful that a particular film is scheduled for release; we shouldn't have to settle!

MGM releases are definitely getting the shaft as it looks like Fox is starting to load the extras on their own releases. Hopefully MGM will follow sometime soon...

Question, why is Master and Commander still up on foxbd.com. If it was to be cancelled, wouldn't there be a statement saying that it has been postponed indefinitely since it's only two weeks away.
