I wonder how they choose which movie gets made into a Mondo release? It sounds like Mondo's 008 and 009 be exclusive only to BB Canada? So does that mean the Target Mondo releases for Flash Gordon and Shaun of the Dead are exclusive to USA Target stores?

I would die to see the TDK trilogy !! you ?

Really nice mock-up's Bonakaze! I would love to see the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy get a Mondo SB treatment! Great job with the artwork here!

Sweet pic! How about they release all three movies as a tri-pack but three separate steelbooks and when you put them together side by side, the Delorean is revealed.

I'm intrigued to see what we get for 008 considering the fact that there seems to be more excitement for 009 from those in the know

-"It's got to be Jurassic Park. Please let it be Jurassic Park. That Mondo artwork has been kicking around for a while now and with JP being a Universal release... and Jurassic World right around the corner... a Mondo x SteelBook release for Jurassic Park would be amazing!"- @tridon

It's confirmed it won't be this release but it sounded like it may be around the corner.

I kind a wish they would focus on stuff not being done. We just had zavvi Jurassic Parks being followed by HDzeta Jurassic Parks.
If they announced a Mondo Avengers steelbook, I would laugh myself silly.
How about something off the beaten path like, say, IT FOLLOWS or (the still steelbook-less) BIRDMAN?

I'd absolutely love Mondo steelbooks for 'It Follows' and 'Birdman' but there has to be Mondo posters/artwork for the two films before they can give them the steelbook treatment. I'm surprised they haven't done anything for 'It Follows' yet especially as that film seems right up their alley. They could have put together something for 'Birdman' but if so I've not seen it.

yeah i think u are correct in there being no mondo artwork for these , they will have to get there paintbrushes out sharpish and do them

I agree, It Follows screams for a Mondo art.
This poster is quite Mondi-ish imo

Shaun of The Dead only made $30 Million....

Shaun of The Dead only made $30 Million....

But it became a cult classic, also I think as of right now all of the releases besides Boyhood have been catalog releases.

All the more reason for them to jump on stuff like (off the top of my head) John Carpenter stuff (Vampires, The Thing), Stuart Gordon stuff (Re-Animator, From Beyond), how about a decent LEGEND, or KRULL.
...Or (Oh Pleaaaase!- BUCKAROO BANZAI!!)
Basically, stuff in their wheelhouse that no one else is going to do- and let's face it- the stuff they will be able to aquire the rights to do.
Rights are not cheap. And Mondo isn't exactly a Fortune 500 company. (And also- studios can just say "we don't like your stuff. No.").

Stupid question : since they do a poster of the movie, sell it and make money with it, don't they ''own'' the right already ? So they can make the steelbook ?!

Mondo purchases the ancillary right to distribute posters, it is not necessary that it also includes the rights to distribute Blu Rays. However for the Mondo X releases they obviously have the ancillary rights to both.
