dir. Gore Verbinski
A-Tier Disney 4K. Third Pirates film. Disney's 4K treatment of the Pirates franchise has been a sore spot, with the first film's transfer widely considered one of the worst 4Ks ever made.

A-Tier Disney 4K. Pirates 2. Disney's franchise 4K releases.
dir. Joachim Rønning, Espen Sandberg
A-Tier Disney 4K. Fifth Pirates film with a 3.0 overall score, which is rough. No relevant collector discussion beyond a steelbook listing.
dir. Rob Marshall
A-Tier Disney 4K. Fourth Pirates film. Minimal collector interest around the 4K.
A-Tier Paramount 4K. Gore Verbinski's animated western. The 4K announcement was a big deal, and Paramount was praised for continuing to release catalog titles. The steelbook and slipcover look great. People want the live-action reference footage included as a bonus feature. One of Paramount's stronger catalog 4K years.
dir. Emir Kusturica
An Inuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut. This fish pervades the entire film, in real and imaginary form. Meanwhile, Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist's gofer. He's happy there, but a messenger arrives to bring him to Arizona for his uncle's wedding. It's a ruse to get Axel into the family business. In Arizona, Axel meets two odd women: vivacious, needy, and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically involved with one, while the other, rich but depressed, plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles.

When wily pirate Captain Barbossa seizes Jack Sparrow’s beloved ship, the Black Pearl, and kidnaps the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth Swann, blacksmith Will Turner reluctantly teams up with the unpredictable pirate Jack to rescue her—only to uncover a terrifying curse that turns Barbossa’s crew into the undead.
Tim Burton's version is turning up in discount haul photos this week. Not a film many people love but the disc is cheap right now if you want it.
dir. Roman Polanski
Imprint Films Limited Edition 4K. Polanski collectors are debating whether to double-dip since Lionsgate already has a release out. The bonus features on this one are strong enough that some people are buying both.
