Today we have made public the difficult decision to cancel the 4KUHD for Meet John Doe (1941). While this isn’t something we even remotely anticipated, the extremely poor pre-sales for the release leaves us no alternative.
The Blu-ray and DVD releases of Doe are still on, but with a revised street date of April 30th. These releases will still be derived from our 4K restoration of the beloved Capra film, but 4KUHD produced discs are upwards of 3 to 4 times as expensive to produce as standard Blu-ray making our chances of recouping that extra cost from sales very slim.
All orders placed at ClassicFlix.com for the 4KUHD of Doe have been canceled. All those awaiting shipment of the Doe 4KUHD on an order with other titles purchased have had the Doe 4KUHD removed from the order and the remainder of the order shipped.
If you’d still like to pre-order the Blu-ray of Doe you may do so by clicking any link on this page or by clicking the image below.
Thank you for your understanding.
I have never heard of this site until now, and just checked their stock. Pretty limited. They only have 35 blu ray’s in stock, and about 2 4k UHD titles. Maybe they just sell everything to distributors, but it doesn’t look like this was a large operation to begin with. Just checked and only 45 dvd titles in stock. Am I missing something?
