[Ranavalone]

Could the country in the title be changed to Finland, as there is already a separate Norway thread for this release, and the price & purchase link in the OP are only relevant to Finland?

Thanks

Looks to be exactly the same as the German release, just €3 more. Probably localised discs, so only useful if you're Finnish I guess!

It depends a bit, but steelbook releases are pretty much always common Scandinavian releases, so they have (at least) Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish subtitle languages. J-card or the information sheet on the back typically has overviews and rating information for the four languages/countries. Sometimes there's a single overview in English - again, depending on the distributor.

International distributors like Warner, Universal, Sony, Paramount, always include here multi-country discs with multiple audio and subtitle options.

I've come across a few Blu-ray discs (for foreign films) with only Finnish and Swedish subtitles (both are official languages in Finland), but that is extremely rare.

This particular release has subtitles just for the Scandinavian languages.

I think for the most part you are right, but I said what I said here because I've personally been eyeing up the German release and found out that:

-Steelbook is all English text
-J card is all German
-Discs have German text on them and German menus

So the steelbook will most likely be the same, but the J card and discs will probably be localised (even if localised to 4 countries). I can't imagine Finland getting the German discs!

There's no "probably" about the J-card or the discs (I have them in hand) As I mentioned:

No German audio nor subtitles. And unfortunately no English subtitles, either (which would be my preference).
