I’d say it has been another pretty good week of new releases for the UK. The Film Vault Range’s 4K titles seem to sell out before release meaning you really do need to pre-order them.
88 Films had several interesting titles out this week, whilst the Criterion Collection’s release of Risky Business (1983), starring Tom Cruise is sure to sell well.
