Mill Creek signs multi-year catalog home entertainment distribution deal with Disney—and we have exclusive details
Heads up Bits readers! No sooner had I posted the early news update here at the site, more significant news broke today...
Mill Creek Entertainment (a division of Alliance Entertainment) has just officially announced that they’ve inked a multi-year home entertainment distribution deal with The Walt Disney Company.
Per , this entitles Mill Creek to distribute “hundreds of select physical (Blu-ray and DVD) live-action film and television properties from the ABC Signature, 20th Television, Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, and 20th Century Studios content libraries.”
Now then... I’ve confirmed some key points about this news with Disney sources, and it’s important for film and disc fans to keep them in mind when considering this arrangement going forward. [Read on here...]
This deal also does not include new content, new transfers, or new remasters.Titles that were previously released on DVD will be re-issued on DVD, and titles previously issued on Blu-ray will be re-released on Blu-ray—there will be no format upgrades.I should stress once again, that those points are confirmed with Disney sources.
We’ll talk more about this in the coming days here at The Digital Bits, but for now essentially this means that a lot of existing Disney, Fox, ABC, Hollywood Pictures, and Touchstone Blu-ray and DVD titles will be coming back into print, with Mill Creek handling the distribution.
