Resident Evil: Afterlife (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
Nice, Sony, NICE! Spit out 4 RE Pop Art movies with actual cool artwork but forget to include the FIRST ONE
Pathe own the first one in the UK, not Sony.
But whyyyy would they go down this path if they are missing the most important part of the franchise?
Doesn't Sony own all Resident Evil movies?
I assume that when the first one was made as a co-production between Pathe Films, Sony Pictures and Constantine Films that part of the deal was that Pathe got home video rights in the UK.
Sony were involved in the production of both Ghost Rider movies, but only distributed the first one with eOne responsible for Spirit of Vengeance.
I'm really digging all these arts!!! Would love for them to come to USA and then get in a BOGO Sale like Salt and Hellboy
They probably will
If the first one and new one are released to match these ones and theyre all reduced to £9.99 then I'm in.. but I doubt they will be
I absolutely adore the films, but over the years, I have progressively come to dislike the individual releases due to the outlay of cash required to keep up collecting them. I don't particularly like the artwork either. If there is a pentology ( if that is even a description ) then thats the one for me 
So, who owns the movie then? Production is one thing, distribution is another but owning the movie is my main question.
Well, this is completely out of the blue and already available for pre-order.
I've been nagging at Zavvi on Twitter ever since they put out Apocalypse and Retribution previously to complete the set, but I had no idea this was in the works. Plus, it re-releases those two other films, so that would end up being a double dip. I wish we could get some direct info from the Project Pop Art guys to see if the other films were going to get this treatment.
I love the artwork, and I love that Apocalypse now has Nemesis on the cover, something I was annoyed about that they didn't do with the other release.
One thing that puzzles me, concerning the first film and people saying a different studio oversees that one so it may not get this treatment. How come Amazon Japan and Italy are releasing all five current RE films with matching artwork? (Milla J in front of different coloured metallic Umbrella logos)

In the UK Fox/Pathe own home video rights.
Because, as far as I know, Sony have distribution rights in most territories, that's why the US and Japan (I wasn't aware of a Japanese set) has matching sets.
In the UK, Pathe own the first with Sony owning all the others. In France Metropolitan own most/all of them. It's no different to other titles where home video rights are owned by other parties...
Watchmen = Warner US, Paramount UK
The Losers = Warner US, StudioCanal UK
Fright Night = Twilight Time US, Eureka UK
Repo Man = Universal US, Eureka UK
And so on.
Okay, now I understand. Pathe owns distribution rights for the movie, not the actual movie.
The movie is still owned by Sony Pictures, right?
Well, I think they'll be released in other countries with the first one included and hopefully the last one, too.
