Retailers have been alerted that three upcoming Blu-ray titles from Criterion will delayed one or two weeks. '
Monsoon Wedding', initially announced for October 13, will street on October 20. In turn, '
Howards End' and '
Wings of Desire', previously slated for October 20, will be available on November 3.
According to Criterion's
Facebook page
the date change is "due to delays in manufacturing our custom Blu-ray cases". It also affects the DVD releases of 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Wings of Desire' ('Howards End' had been released on DVD in 2005).
The four titles scheduled for release September 22 ('
Pierrot le fou', '
The Complete Monterey Pop Festival', '
Monterey Pop' and '
Jimi Plays Monterey & Shake! Otis at Monterey') don't change dates. Likewise, '
Gomorrah' is still scheduled for November 24.
