Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but…
Ever since the announcement of The Mandalorian I can’t help but wonder about how likely it is we’ll see an official release of a lot of these new TV shows and “side story” projects on home video. It seems Disney is pretty committed to getting people to stream and not buy these shows, instead hoping fans will decide to shell out for the streaming service every month.
As a home video collector (like many on these forums) this frustrates me immensely. It just doesn’t seem to make good business sense for a mega-corporation like Disney to be missing out on all of the revenue that a home video release of The Mandalorian would no doubt generate.
I hope they do what Netflix sometimes do and once it’s a few years down the line and they figure they’ve got their streaming money they put it out on disc.
How likely do you think it is that these new streaming shows will turn up on disc and how long do you think it’ll be? I’m interested in what you all think.
