Thanks John, there are several on the list I'll wait for, but unfortunately I'll have to buy my Gravity and a couple of other movies from Amazon just to get the 3D version. Too bad....I really want to support the store on all available purchases.:(

I've been told that "Spectacular Now" will not be released into the Kaleidescape store. While the pressing is done by LionsGate and they end up with rights to the distribution of the physical media, the electronic distribution rights are controlled by a smaller studio, "A24". Kaleidescape does NOT expect to get this title, at least until A24 has a direct relationship with the company. (which can't exactly be a priority).

So the question now is: are we able to find a list of upcoming releases from Warner Bros. and LionsGate that includes details on which studio has the electronic distribution rights? If THOSE match, then we can almost certainly expect the title to come to the K store.

Looks like there are hints to who controls what for this particular title here:http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/457444/The-Spectacular-Now/details (see the section called "Company Information" - looks like if it says Lions Gate is "Domestic VIDEO distributor" only, then it won't come to the store, but if it says "Lions Gate" has "Domestic Distribution Rights" then it will?)

Here's another source, showing A24, not LionsGate, has the sole position called "Distribution Co.": http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/963460/Spectacular-Now-The/

Thanks Josh. That's interesting - and confusing. I will update my list.

I received permission to post the following to this forum today, some of which we've found or deduced in the posts above, but here is the official word from the Kaleidescape MovieGuide team.

Releases coming to the store "soon":
- You're Next
- Escape Plan
- Instructions Not Included
- Gravity

Releases that will definitely be coming to the store, but no date yet available:
- Ender's Game
- All is Lost
- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

and confirmed that Spectacular Now is not coming to the store anytime soon.
 
Thanks Josh.

"You're Next" is already on the store but not listed in "New Releases". You have to go to "New to the Store" to see it.

John
 
"Escape Plan" has been added. I updated the first post.

John
 
John, my apologies for not thanking you as well. Thank you for doing this. It is VERY appreciated :)
 
Ender's Game added as per other posts. I have updated the first page.

Also, I know of two movies that were added last week:

Rambo III
The Queen in HD

John
 
Got some G2 that the following titles are coming to the store "soon" (some of these are already known)
- All is Lost
- Bridget Jones' Diary
- Nurse Jackie Season 5
- Gravity
- Chicago
- The English Patient
- Hunger Games: Catching Fire

that's all I know for now.
 
All Is Lost has been added.

Also, new to the store (as Josh noted were coming in the previous post - thanks Josh) are:

Bridget Jone's Diary
Chicago

I am not sure what is different about the latest Chicago compared to the version I have already downloaded. Anyone know?

John
 
The thing that bugs me is there is no way to know when Kaleidescape replaces a title that was originally SD with the HD version. While this is fantastic, the more HD the better, it would be nice to know when this happens. Titles like "Two Weeks Notice" went from SD to HD around the time Warner released the Blu-ray of the film. But this HD version does not show up as a recent release or "new to the store". So I guess we just need to keep an eye out for Blu-ray releases of older Warner movies.
 
any update on Gravity? I see it on Apple iTunes and Xfinity "On Demand-to-own", but not on Kscape store yet. Original post said would be in the store 2/11

thanks
 
THIS was a good release by Kaleidescape. Looks like it had all the impressive bonus features... hours of extra material. Downloaded it last night and watched it... very good. Great audio. I suspect it will become one of the top movies for demonstrating a/v equipment.

I didn't get the nice 56.1 Mbps download speeds I was getting last week. The 41GB download came in 2 hrs, 36 min., at a relatively paltry 35.5 Mbps. Not sure if that's due to stuff at my ISP/MSO, traffic at the K. store, or what.
 
Josh - I agree. And I was ready to purchase it when I realized that for $2 more I could get the 3D Blu-ray (really how the movie is meant to be seen!) and then pay $1.99 to K-scape to go disc-less. Ah, but I do have to wait another week and a half.
