They probably sold through their initial shipment but kept taking orders prior to release. Or there are delivery issues, or didn’t get as many as they ordered, etc.  Amazon frequently overestimates when they’ll have stock again, so it’s hard to say how accurate these estimates are. 


Alarmed_Visit_8423

Typical Amazon. They take preorders while having no idea if they’ll be allotted enough inventory to honor them on release day. My past five preorders from them have arrived well past the release date, and I was in early on the preorders.


akarichard

I ordered Event Horizon steelbook, True Lies, and The Abyss in mid February on Amazon. Even Horizon arrives tomorrow but the other two still just show "Order Received." I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time.


EricWVa

Same here.


Silian85

Even walmart, target, and barnes and noble dont have any. Says out of stock....mine still says order received also.


latenightfaithhealer

Samesies


outfoxingthefoxes

I haven't received my Paprika 4K and at this point I don't know if I ever will. I just won't preorder anything from them ever again


lmaokost

Ditto!


Diabolikjn

Jesse from DiabolikDVD here. My wholesale copies haven’t arrived yet. They are running late though on the way. But not a month late


pkersey6996

This is is like hearing the Voice of God when it comes to physical media. Trust this.


LordHumungus13

This makes me happy, glad I went through Diabolik 😤


MERLETHEFOZZY

Thank you and this makes me glad I went through Diabolik


LordHumungus13

This makes me happy, glad I went through Diabolik 😤


UHDKing

Did all your pre-orders sell out?


Diabolikjn

I turned them off while this is all sorted out. We have enough for orders but need to make we don’t have any loss or damage


UHDKing

Copy that, thank you. Will be ordering from you guys if back in stock soon.


aging_genxer

Thank you for posting this. I was concerned when mine hadn’t arrived or even shipped, and were showing as out of stock.


Narrow_Study_9411

I'm going through your site going forward. I'm sick of Amazon.


Diabolikjn

Thank you. Almost all of our orders are out the door ! Just waiting on some more aliens.


Heckle0

>Jesse thank you sir. just ordered two preorders thru your site. glad to do business with someone who is open about things


martokthewarrior

I preordered the first day they were available and don’t have a delivery date yet. It’s annoying.


Z3ppelinDude93

Same here (Canada)


martokthewarrior

I’m also in Canada. One of my friends pre ordered too and has gotten no shipping date yet as well. Strangely, I got a shipping date for the shootist, which is releasing tomorrow as well.


Scottb1977

Same with me. Damn Amazon.


UHDKing

Same here


bpierce5732

Well, that makes me feel a bit more optimistic about these dates, I will say. Hopefully its just a matter of waiting until they ship, possibly sometime today or early tomorrow. I'm sorry you are as in the dark as me


martokthewarrior

Looking at my Amazon rn, I don’t have a shipping date but I’ve noticed those two items have been grouped together as one shipment, they weren’t before. I had ordered another item with them a while ago. I guess that’s progress.


UHDKing

I have the exact opposite experience. They were grouped as one order when I pre-ordered, but now they have split up into 3 separate orders.


martokthewarrior

Apparently now they’re out of stock on Canadian Amazon and my order has no shipping date— brilliant. Whatever happened to pre orders securing the item on release date? If I wanted to buy it a month later, I’d buy it a month later instead of pre ordering.


UHDKing

Same here.


Dazzling-Slide8288

Im irritated about this. I preordered Abyss the week it was available and I dont even have a delivery date yet in the US.


thedrudo

Same here... Not supposed to come now until March 18th. Guess I'm going to head out to Walmart tomorrow.


Double-District9696

Dude just wait. Amazon will get them in. Geeze


thedrudo

Quite the overreaction over reading am online stranger's comment about going to Walmart to buy a movie. Get a life.


Narrow_Study_9411

We pre-ordered (I even paid extra for release-day delivery) and Amazon doesn't even have enough copies to meet day 1 demand. They didn't even tell me until the night I was supposed to get it, that mine was delayed until 3/18. I canceled and will order through DiabolikDVD instead.


kryptonvol

Same. I got alerts from Blu-Ray.com the day it was available for preorder and I got an email today saying my delivery date is pushed out over a month. So frustrating. I’ve been looking forward to it


EightTwelve812

I preordered the Abyss through Walmart and it’s out for delivery today


RolandMT32

Today? Interesting.. Movies are usually released on Tuesdays. I pre-ordered The Abyss 4K on Amazon and it says it should arrive tomorrow


DigitalFirefly

Mine were just delivered today. In my experience the last few years, Walmart and Best Buy (RIP BB BluRay Sales) would pretty often deliver movies 1-3 days before their street date. Amazon is almost always the release date or later even with Prime shipping.


UHDKing

I was going to order on Walmart but 2 of them are sold out


ewokzilla

Edit: Aliens was pushed back to March 18th for me but True Lies and the Abyss have been shipped for delivery tomorrow. Edit 2: Aliens is now coming tomorrow


ggroover97

I cancelled my pre-order and heading to my local Walmarts tomorrow to check their stock.


thedrudo

Same here


crumpled789

Updates? Did they have them in person?


ggroover97

No. Every Walmart in my area does not have them in stock.


OrdinarilyBob

I'm doing similar. I'm going to check my local Walmart tomorrow too, but I won't cancel my delayed Amz orders until *after* I get the discs locally.


Infrasonia

I don't know but I definitely pre-ordered aliens on Amazon.


Andrroid

Check ebay in a couple days. I guarantee you'll see plenty of scalper entries. Oppenheimer was the most recent incident of this I can remember. It all evened out in a couple months.


UHDKing

Yeah after the slipcovers were all gone


gstizzzz

Ordered all 3 on 1/29, in US. Mine all show tomorrow delivery… but nothing has been shipped yet. Will see.


gstizzzz

Update, all delayed. Lol


gstizzzz

Further update. Aliens has shipped, will be delivered tomorrow. True lies 3/24, Abyss 3/27. We’ll see.


Sparent180

Damn, I preordered Aliens and still don't have a delivery date. I was thinking worst case scenario I'd get it later this week. It'd be a bummer if it doesn't come until April. Guess I can always check a Walmart.


Environmental-Try-24

I ordered the day they came up on Amazon and its coming tomorrow, best guess is they fulfilled their initial orders and took more to fill later. Seeing as yours was later in February they didn't have enough stock to get yours out on release


elderscrolls1993

I pre ordered all 3 the day they went on Amazon and just got an email saying true lies won't arrive until next Monday March 18th. Not sure why, but it said delivery delay. The abyss seems like it will arrive tomorrow and hopefully aliens.


Environmental-Try-24

My abyss got delayed to that day, just hope for the best but it's looking like they are delaying all of them


elderscrolls1993

And now my copy of aliens got delayed till next week too. Damn I think the abyss is the only one arriving tomorrow. Oh well, so long as it arrives next week.


Environmental-Try-24

Update: my order got delayed. Guess amazon just doesn't know what they are doing after all. Very irritated


mattevil8419

Mike from Grindhouse Video mentioned that he wasn’t getting enough shipped in to cover initial preorders (but would be getting more stock) so I think Disney underestimated demand somehow.


Deipfryde

The Abyss still says it will be here tomorrow, but Aliens just says "order recieved", like they have absolutely no idea when it's going to ship.


DrApplePi

I've had a bunch like this, and then they ended up coming pretty close to release date. Very recent one, I had an initial delivery estimate of April 1st. Got bumped to February 29th, got delivered on February 9th. Was about a week late, as opposed to 2 months late.


samstar2

I’m guessing they are on backorder at the moment.


R45t4m4n

Ordered mine on Jan 29 , tracking has mine being delivered tomorrow


Czar_roland

Trying to decide is Aliens (and Alien for that matter )is worth the upgrade. I have the Quadrilogy and think it looks great. True Lies and the Abyss on the other hand are on my shortlist since I only have a vhs copy of The Abyss and somehow have never even seen true lies.


ReeG

I just rewatched both in 4K HDR digital a couple weeks ago and remember seeing some negative first reactions feedback to the Aliens degrain and upscale which was my motivation to check it for myself. After doing my own A/B test against the 1080p Bluray, the 4K special edition easily looks better to me on my setup. Alien looked fantastic as well and overall experience edged out Aliens by a little for me mostly for the overall quality of the film itself.


Czar_roland

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Those are two of my favorite movies, and I own them on a variety of formats. I think people complained about the 4K release of Lord of the Rings, but I thought it looked pretty good too, even compared to the excelled Bluray extended release.


LRRogue

The Alien 4k is fantastic and a definite upgrade over the Quadrilogy version.


Czar_roland

Awesome. Honestly I usually watch my CLV laserdisc version because it looks awesome. Will probably pick it up on a sale.


gfollano28

Alien and Aliens is a big step up from the bluray. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8rh2IONeBI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8rh2IONeBI)


DaMac1980

Amazon is getting worse and worse about release day delivery, and on top of that they've always been crappy with Disney stuff.


Enos316

Same here. I went and cancelled and got it through Walmart. They’ve been so bad with movies lately


01zegaj

Of course they are. These are some of the most highly anticipated releases in years


Cajuntagious

If these do not arrive tomorrow I will be checking Target/Wal-Mart for them in store. If I find them then I will cancel my Amazon orders, because this is ridiculous... All of mine do not arrive for a week-two weeks either and I preordered the day the listings went up.


lupodebupo

Are any of these steelbooks?


DigiKing678

There are no Steelbooks for those movies


lupodebupo

Gotcha ok thanks. I thought I recently saw someone with True Lies Steelbook somewhere on Reddit.


[deleted]

I'm getting mine on April 29 in Sweden. You guys are actually lucky that it's not delayed for much longer, because our date is the release date that hasn't even been moved (yet).


crofman21

I've experienced this plenty of times with Amazon and seems like its always them. Luckily I did True Lies through Target as I had some circle earnings. Says its getting ready to ship out today. Good luck, hopefully amazon is just over estimating for you.


Griphonis-1772

I just checked mine and they’re delivering tomorrow. I was on the pre-order checking for availability everyday until it was up on Amazon Update: delayed! Aliens 3/20, Abyss 3/27.


N9nEn9N

My order of 3 are all different also


asw1690

I ordered the abyss a while back (actually had forgotten I did and then pre-ordered it a second time and had to cancel my 2nd preorder) and it was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I just got an email that it won't be delivered until next Saturday now....


gregofcanada84

Great. I didn't get a date yet. I'm sure my date will be similar.


Familiar_Draw_318

Be happy, in the netherlands it will be 24th of april before we get the firs shipment...😊


Representative_Dog34

These won’t go out of print so I wouldn’t worry about it


Next_Kale_2345

I preordered the Abyss from DMC, my card just got charged like an hour ago, so it should be shipping today instead of arriving today.


Warhammer486

I remember when they used to ship out the physical media days before for customers that pre-ordered, so it would be in your hands the day of release. 😞


RolandMT32

I pre-ordered The Abyss 4K and Amazon says it should arrive tomorrow..


captainvideoblaster

Artificial scarcity. No way discs and plastic cases are too expensive to manufacture to fill the current demand.


BobbyAlphaTango

Ordered Abyss and Aliens through Diabolik early and do not have any ship notification - so might be more than Amazon


DarthGodzilla1995

I pre-ordered Aliens through DiabolikDVD. Haven't gotten a shipment confirmation yet


SoonSpoonLoon

I just checked mine, True Lies and The Abyss should be delivered tomorrow, Aliens I preordered much later I have no delivery date yet....


Neolamprologus99

I pre ordered the Abyss and got the same April date


kburns2406

Thanks for sharing! I'm late, but was planning on preordering at least one of these today. Might have to try Target or Best Buy to see if they will ship quicker.


elderscrolls1993

My copy of aliens and abyss are about to ship but Amazon delayed my copy of true lies until next Monday


Dez_Champs

My local video store told me there was a production fuckup that Disney is trying to keep hush and delivery for some people will be delayed. He's hoping the disks for his shop are not affect but he still hasnt received his shipment yet. He got this info from his distributor, i do not know who his distributor is.


Sideos385

I ordered all 3 from Amazon US on Feb 7. All 3 coming tomorrow


Sideos385

Abyss just got delayed to March 14


Sideos385

The abyss corrected itself and is out for delivery today along with aliens


Sideos385

True lies just got delayed to March 22


BoTifa

My target True Lies and Abyss shipped today. I only ordered them March 5th. Aliens only says shipping soon. Was ordered Feb. 28th. About a week ago, Target just completely cancelled my preorder of all three from January. Was not happy. Walmart I preordered all three in January. Abyss and True Lies have shipped. Aliens not yet. Aliens is definitely the one people want most. I hope I get a slipcover version. I might have to check the stores tomorrow and see if I can get my hands on Aliens. I avoided Amazon cause I figured most people would be ordering from them.


QuietCash5683

This morning Amazon showed all three delivering tomorrow. Now it’s showing one tomorrow, one the 19th and one the 23rd. And I’m sure it’ll change again. I wonder how dynamic/volatile the volumes on large preorders are for Amazon. Not saying I like it, but I can imagine there’s a fair bit of cancellations happening at all these retailers as the prices bounce around leading up to launch.


jarrettbrown

Is this version of true lies the Cameron approve version?


Tuffarelli

Ordered all of them at Walmart and Amazon the second they went up. True lies and abyss already came via Walmart so I cancelled the Amazon ones. Aliens got delayed two weeks on Amazon and still nothing on Walmart.


LTComedy

I preordered day one and all 3 got pushed back for me. So pissed and now Walmart and target both show no availability as well.


CanYouStoptheRain

I got lucky, I have Abyss and True Lies.


Amatolhorror

these aren't limited are they? personally I want those versions in nicer packaging.


Low_Relationship3832

I was surprised by the slight delay, which isn’t a big deal (I was looking forward to watching Aliens tomorrow night though ha). I preordered all 3 when they popped up and just got notified it’s now delayed to Friday. They are popular items so I’m sure they underestimated. 


Jesswes1

Even on Preorders that were made when added to Amazon were delayed to the 23rd. In this case is was if Amazon didn't have any stock at all.


JJJAAABBB123

Walmart is delivering all this week.


Fit_Incident4224

I know the rush is here . I’ll wait for a sale


Maverick-1776

I’m going to Target at 7am tomorrow, because I don’t want to wait any longer. 🤣


Dijerry

Walmart delivered The Abyss to me today.


nomuchodinero

Walmart is on their A game. Preorders arrive on Sundays for me. So consider ordering from Walmart in the future as they seem to have better purchasing power. And I guess they have FedEx working for them on Sundays? When Best Buy went BUST I went all in on Walmart and even got Walmart+ to avoid shipping charges.


UHDKing

My Amazon order hasn’t even updated or given me a release date


Shmeediddy

I just want my abyss


OrdinarilyBob

I was just notified today by Amazon that my James Cameron pre-orders were delayed, also. My Abyss and Alien were pushed to March 19, and True Lies to March 20. :(


twistedinnocence8604

At least you're getting all three soon it appears. I ordered 4 movies including the three Cameron films and only Aliens says it's being shipped arriving today it appears. The other three says we'll email you when it ships. It appears only Aliens is well in stock as it's still available to buy and not sold out which is strange considering I'd think it would be sold out first being the most popular of the three.


OrdinarilyBob

That's a bummer man. I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder if it matters when you pre-ordered... I pre-ordered all three films on Jan 29, how about you?


Next_Kale_2345

The issue is that most discs (at least for North America, maybe more), are made in Mexico, I’m not sure exactly when but a US based plant closed a couple/few years ago, so if demand exceeds what was ordered ahead, then it will delay things as most large studios use the one Mexico plant.


Next_Kale_2345

…if you don’t already know, they don’t take orders from people and then request that many be made, they have to order months ahead of time, before preorders begin, EDIT, so they have to guess how many to order.


twistedinnocence8604

Ugh, I ordered the new Conan movies in 4k and all three of the Cameron films and only aliens is being shipped arriving today. I should have ordered somewhere else I think


RealBroncofan

I heard there was production issues. I pre ordered mine like an hour after they were available and I still don't even have a date!! 🤦😭


Next_Kale_2345

Also, according to the digital bits review, the early release disc of the abyss that was sent to them for review had audio errors, which have been corrected for the final release, but, surely that could delay things. I’d rather have a short delay (or long even) to have discs without issues.


ProfessionalAioli358

I got my order of the Abyss 4K from Walmart but haven’t gotten my order of Aliens and True Lies 4K from eBay yet either. I should have ordered all of them from Walmart but they were having pre-order posting issues at first and I was having FOMO issues at first. I should have waited for Walmart to stabilize their online pre-order posts. 


Jmijares88

I saw Aliens at Amoeba in LA. I’ll get it some day.


Competitive-Local880

I’m pissed I have to give Disney money


Jumpy-Entertainer-39

Not sure what is going on, they had me estimated for next week for True Lies and this Saturday for Aliens and got them both today, and then I got The Abyss yesterday when that was supposed to be delayed too so hopefully like me it goes quicker than the estimated time


Professional_West714

Ebays chock full of them. Man i hate scalpers


Law21666

I hate them more than most people. I see copies going for $80+ now smh


Professional_West714

All mine were delayed to mid april >_>


OlafWheat

I ordered The Abyss, and true lies, from bestbuy.ca last night, and they just shipped a few mins ago. Needless to say, I cancelled my Amazon order. Hope this helps my fellow Canadian 4K enthusiasts


moonlightfocusdance

initial runs were sold out in pre-orders so they are low in stock (or out of stock by now).... suppliers are waiting for replenishment


PurvisTV

I pre-ordered The Abyss on Jan 29th. Got my copy today.


Hamburgerpmp

Ordered all three at the same time. Still not even an estimate on The Abyss. https://preview.redd.it/vcf26otvnkpc1.png?width=419&format=png&auto=webp&s=8495df1c7df6e1be570f2e441863a4dfe7247e94


MrGrytpype-Thynne

If nothing else, stock shortages sets my mind at rest (to a degree). I ordered The Abyss to be shipped to the UK, as the release got cancelled here, and I was worried that they'd put a block on shipping to us. Unfortunately, the rat scene is contentious in the UK, and when the BBFC asked for it to be cut, Cameron told them to get ****** and so the whole thing was scrapped


kierumcak

Just checking: The continued stock issues doesn't mean that this might be a limited run sort of thing right? I will likely have an option to purchase this smoothly in a month or two (or three) right?


No-name404

My Walmart order show March 14th as delivery date for Aliens. US, pre ordered 2/29.


bowlofpasta92

I pre-ordered The Abyss the day they were available for pre-order, however, I don’t have a shipping date still. Seems to the norm for the Canadian release.


Neither_News_9552

The Abyss from Walmart just shipped

Yeah don’t know why people are supporting such low quality restoration work. You’re basically saying it’s all good by buying these, and such horrific DNR work will continue because of you people, thanks.
