Printruns are insane, but the DVD digipack version (1300 copies) has been sold out very fast on the domestic store.

Here are the prices :

Full slip : USD37.89

Square Sleeve : USD56.89

Deluxe Box : USD75.89

I think there no gonna be quick OOS (at least on the international store)

Carol is the most successful independent movie in South Korea in recent years. Koreans are crazy over the movie I think.

@Sigill

It does seem excessive, I didn't realise the movie was that popular. That print run is definatly higher and the price seems to have gone up from their usual $34 point. I hope this is a one off but I'm guessing it's not.

 

[Stansf1eld]

The higher price is because it has two discs, same as the Oldboy slipbox.

There are a lot of Carol fans in Korea but mostly young women, so I reckon many of them aren't blu-ray consumers.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Genuine question and not singling anyone out, but could somebody explain to me the fascination with print runs and whether stuff goes out of stock or not.

With the shear volume of releases from all the different companies, Isn't it better to have enough stock so that anyone can buy what they want, in their own time, rather than rush to buy the moment it goes on sale due to a low print run?

I seem to remember Plain stating they were going to use that sales strategy, so anyone that wanted any of their releases, could actually buy one. Especially after the earlier low print runs and insane prices those releases now go for. As long as they keep selling enough to ensure future releases for other films, I'm happy

Seems to me that some people may buy to sell or trade, than actually enjoy the products.

Anyway. Love this movie, love the direction, the music, the cinematography, the acting (especially Rooney Mara's performance).

Looking forward to owning these releases

I am fascinated by low print runs. I have fun hunting rare editions, filling gaps in the collection. 99% of my purchases of limited (and numbered) editions over the last 7 years (!) are still in my collection.

Ouch 2 am in morning for me, lol, guess I will need to set the alarm, haha!

 

[MrsRobinson]

8 am for me, I think Almost doable. Already out by then

 

[djjez83]

only the full slip for me. plain archive have got very greedy with their print run numbers now. 4000+ for carol is insane plus the box for a title like this is not needed. $200 roughly for all versions and shipping for this release

plain archive started off with low print runs that would sell out. people always like smaller print runs, makes them more collectible. i dont mind on big titles like oldboy but on titles like carol there is no need for it
