#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 It can only be a complete Star wars box set! Bilbo 1
Arpy 4,218 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 It can't be Harry Potter, it needs to sit unreleased for another decade!
bollemanneke 4,138 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 It HAS to be Harry Potter or Titanic, or my Christmas will be ruined. Bilbo 1
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,275 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 It could be either! Or Both! Or Neither! Arpy and bollemanneke 2
crumbs 15,769 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 7 CDs... PS x2, COS x2, POA x2 and a 7th disc with further alternates? bollemanneke and Arpy 2
Disco Stu 15,514 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 He's definitely coy about whether the 7 CDs are all one set, or a few different ones.
Wojo 2,458 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Does he explicitly state all seven discs are in the same set? I see you ninja'd my post, mister smiley man. crumbs and Disco Stu 2
mstrox 7,281 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I think releasing three Harry Potter expansions in one set would be a poor business decision. Priced at $20-30 depending on the number of discs, a one-film expansion would be a guaranteed seller. A $70-100 commitment is a harder sell. IMO Holko and Bilbo 2

I think they'd sell a lot fewer of COS than the other two and fewer of PS than Azkaban. Bundle them all and you have a chance of selling to each of the fans who are only after 1 of the 3. I'd release the Potters as 3 composer bundles + GOF. Gets the scores out faster and forces many people to buy more or go without. crumbs and Arpy 2
mstrox 7,281 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I think there's a lot of crossover success to be had with Potter fans who aren't necessarily the film score regulars, and my thought was that the price tag of a big boxset would be a turn off. However, I forget that some of these movies have sessions leaks. The question mark of lost sales re: bootlegs could be ameliorated by bundling the scores with Azkaban. Then again, if bootlegs are good enough for some people, surely some would just pirate Azkaban when it's released as well. crumbs 1
Manakin Skywalker 5,729 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Since we don't know if those 7 discs are of the same set... if it were HP, each set could have 2 discs. The remaining disc will just be for some film nobody cares about.
Lady Dimitrescu 10,262 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Maybe the seventh disc is full of alternates and bonus tracks?

Bundle them all and you have a chance of selling to each of the fans who are only after 1 of the 8. I'd release the Potters as a single massive set. Now that really would cost too much for many fans. Idk, MV said they'd "really outdone themselves" for this year's Black Friday. After last year, that makes me think they're gonna blow their load on one or more releases as huge and unexpected as the Jurassic Park box. At least, I hope so.
Manakin Skywalker 5,729 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I'm hoping it's related to either Star Wars or Harry Potter. Either one will do.
crocodile 9,352 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I can't decide. Bananas and plums. Karol
bollemanneke 4,138 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Price tags don't seem to matter when WB is involved. Remember how they put out that horrendous Wizard's Collection? Everyone with brains could tell from day one it wasn't going to sell, and it didn't, yet they persisted.

bollemanneke 4,138 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 What, it sold out? But I distinctly remember reading about how it didn't sell and that they then re-branded it Hogwarts Collection and made it 50% cheaper to get rid of them.
Laserschwert 629 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Note that he says those 7 CDs are only half of what they are planning. So, up your guesses to fill 14 CDs instead.

I'm not familiar enough with the scores (and obviously the session leaks are enormous for HP1 and HP2) but is this realistically an outcome? Azkaban, being the shorter score, would surely fit on two discs... but maybe we're underestimating the amount of alternates Williams recorded? The other two scores though...

If you leave off the OSTs, I'm sure you could fit all 3 scores across 6 discs, but our own Jason Leblanc commented on an FSM thread a few years ago saying he thought HP1 deserved a solid 3 disc release and MV seemed to agree. Don't remember if that's because they wanted to preserve the OST program or what.
Jay 43,908 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 There would be zero reason to preserve the OST program for any of the Harry Potter scores.

I imagine the only time an OST is preserved on an expanded set is if it's from the LP days, were the program was short enough and in possible need of a cleaning. And in some cases, containing new music or re-recordings. That doesn't really happen much any more, at least as far as I can tell.
ManofDestiny 104 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 7 discs? And it is only half of the series? It must be the Star Wars prequel. And the second half is the classic trilogy. 2 CDs for each episode, and a bonus disc for alternates and suites!
Koray Savas 2,255 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The 14 discs aren’t all for one release. It’s the total number of discs that are planned to be released. The breakdown of how many different scores is unknown.

Ollie 1,353 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I would imagine if one the labels ends up doing Star Wars, it will be INTRADA..
Koray Savas 2,255 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 None of them will do it. It will be released on Disney’s label if it ever happens. Bilbo 1

Arpy 4,218 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 No idea, although It's more likely Harry Potter seeing as The Last Jedi is coming out this year. I was merely pointing out the similarity of your post to Crumbs!
mstrox 7,281 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 My guess: no Williams on Black Friday, unless it's Close Encounters.
publicist 4,649 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 14 discs? That would be all Potter movies. Makes the most sense (if it isn't another tv series). I sure would bundle them together since the second half only sells on the wings of the three Williams scores.
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 As Koray pointed out, the 14 discs aren't necessarily all for one release. We don't know how many releases they represent: could be 14, could be 7, could be 1...
publicist 4,649 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Odd phrasing then to refer to 14 discs instead of, say, 4 releases. What does the total number of discs matter?
Jay 43,908 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I find all the discussion based off of MV's post here interesting. I didn't find anything he said nebulous or confusing at all, and I'm surprised how many assumptions people drew from it. Here's the post again just in case Facebook ever eats it, and its not on this page anyway Quote Just spent the weekend with 7 cds worth of product we plan on announcing for BLACK FRIDAY and that's just HALF of what we have penciled in for our big release date this year! HORN TOOTING ALERT: We may have outdone ourselves this year with this slate. Now we play the approval waiting game as to what makes it and what gets released in 2018! Start saving them dollah's 'cus this batch is gonna make ya hollah! https://www.facebook.com/lalalandrecords/posts/10155939087978755 He's simply saying he spent the weekend listening to some Black Friday titles that have already been mastered. "7 CDs worth of product" could be a 4CD set and a 3CD set, a 6CD set and a single disc release, three 2CD sets and a single disc, etc etc - lots of possibilities. These aren't clues, he's not providing any information to let people guess what they are, just telling people to set money aside because its going to be more expensive than usual, and full of more titles that will sell out faster than usual. Bilbo and bollemanneke 2
publicist 4,649 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 That means it's not even sure there are 14 cd's. Well, then...
