I am curious if anyone knows why titles such as Ben Hur and The Magnificent Seven are not in the store but elsewhere digitally?

Delays in Titles?
- Thread starter Mr. Integration
- Start date
Ben Hur (2016) is a Paramount title, and we don't yet have an agreement in place with Paramount. The Magnificent Seven (2016) is a Sony title, so I believe we will have it.
To answer the question generally: Long story short, we are delivering content at a quality level significantly higher than streaming services. That means that every title in the Movie Store has been processed by Kaleidescape, using a proprietary process. *We don’t just sell the same bits as other retailers.
Between sourcing the necessary materials, processing them, and doing our quality assurance process, we are not always able to deliver these titles on the same day as streaming services, although often we are. Our aim is always to deliver these as early as we can, but without sacrificing the audio and video quality that are the hallmarks of our system and our Movie Store.
I hope that helps explain what's going on!
