And of course, they're not the 4K versions.

I got an offer for free P+ if I sign up for Walmart+. It's really not looking good.

What continues to amaze me is that I bought TMP: DE a couple of years ago on Prime for short money so I'd always be able to access it on any device. It recently turned into the 2022 DE without any extra expense. Still always available in one place on any device. I've spent nothing extra. I feel like I got a deal.

Call it a win!
I have trek on vhs, dvd and blue ray. How this stuff disappears on a long move I can only blame the Klingon. found some trek blue ray but where in the hell is my blue ray player???
If I ever do this again, everything goes in the city dump so I won't spend years looking for it.... lol

More likely there were pre-existing contracts. Movies disappear off of Disney+ all the time and I don't think anyone is worried about them.

But they don't disappear from. Their major "categories" right? Yeah, you might see Revenge of the Sith playing on TNT, or Avengers on FX, but the whole catalog is available on Demand on Dusney+, and stays that way.

If they ever left, even temporarily, there would be an uproar, and mass subscription cancelations (even if temportary)

What contract would be in place where you lose your movies? It just seems like greed to me because the growth has stalled.

Define loaning. I doubt it's for free.

As for why they would do this, I would guess viewing algorithms revealing viewings of those films are slow.

Why leave them languishing at home when they can be generating more $$$ being licensed out.

Most major loans (like home and car and student) all have a fee... "friendly" ones like between friends and the public library are free.

The game is all about subscriptions. It has less to do with any one production and winning the subscription game is more about becoming all things to all people.

Not even that... just get you suckered in to watch whatever is popular, and hope that half the people will forget they subscribed, and forget to cancel , or at least wait enough to see the next new thing

Not entirely. In Paramlunt +’s case, subscriptions aren’t doing enough. This deal looks more like Paramount making a quick buck by licensing out their movies out to other services. It’s more profitable for Paramount to license out their stuff than rely solely on subscriptions.

That seems like the most logical (pun intended) thing in this case.

I got an offer for free P+ if I sign up for Walmart+. It's really not looking good.

Nearly all the subscription services have something like that. We have HBoMax because of our ATT service and Apple+ because we have iPhones.iPhone.. and we have Peacock because we have Comcast/Xfinity.

Netflix....we just because my wife wanted it so bad

But at some point, it's not gonna be worth it for most of these services... I think Disney Plus has the best model... you can break out by interest, or bundle everything, but in their case you can get a whole lot to suit your needs.

The 4K TMP was off Paramount+ for awhile, but I see it's back on now. What's up with that?

Streaming deals for catalog content are often made years in advance. It's entirely possible that as far back as 2019 or whatever, HBO secured a deal to license the original ten movies for streaming for a three- or six-month period in 2022 / 2023.
