All right, folks—we have major breaking news for you today!

Some of you may have read the report this afternoon, by our friends over at Media Play News, to the effect that Amazon MGM Studios has just signed a new exclusive packaged media distribution deal with Alliance Entertainment.

So yes… Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment is no longer distributing Amazon MGM titles through Studio Distribution Services.

The new Alliance deal covers both new releases and catalog titles on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Disc, and it includes TV titles as well as feature films.

So for example, under the terms of this deal, future Bond 4K Ultra HD releases (which are already in the works) will be released and distributed by Alliance.

This certainly opens up the possibility that a great deal of as-yet-unreleased 4K catalog titles could finally happen in the months ahead—think titles like Dances with Wolves, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Stargate, and more.

But what you probably aren’t seeing reported elsewhere, is that it’s also good news for more than just Amazon MGM titles! [Read on here...]

Stuart has reviewed Warner Archive’s James Cagney Collection on Blu-ray, which includes The Public Enemy (1931), White Heat (1949), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), and Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942).
