Warner Bros. is opening its archive of classic films and allowing fans to order movies that have never been on DVD before. The project, three years in the making, launched today at warnerarchive.com with 150 titles. You can order a custom DVD for $19.95. More titles will be added each month, until all of Warner Bros.’ vault is available, USA Today reports.
Talk about it on PopWatch:
Warner ‘on demand’ DVD service: Separating the good, the bad, and the ugly
Are people going to be willing to pay those prices (it’s $15 to download)?
Cool…really nice that it’s really cheap too!
I’m glad to see at least one studio that appreciates the cultural value of their back catalog, and as such is working to make it available to the public even when profits will not be massive. As the owner of a site that has been rescuing and making available lost and forgotten movies for several years, we welcome Warner Brothers to our world, and hope that they can see the joy these movies can bring to folks who thought they would never have a chance to view them again. http://yammeringmagpie.com
