Looked for another place to put this, but I couldn't bring up a general home video thread anywhere, so:
Yesterday, Sony announced a new 40th Anniversary edition of The Karate Kid on 4K. It comes with new "retro" cover art designed to evoke the old Columbia VHS tapes with the red border and black backdrop. The Blu-ray.com news post about it is here: https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=34252
Wouldn't be shocked if Sony, who rarely misses a chance to double-dip on Ghostbusters, will prep a new 4K UHD release for the original movie (and perhaps Ghostbusters II) this year in the same line with the retro cover art. It would be an opportunity for them to release the upgraded Dolby Vision transfers from the Ultimate Collection in wide release, as well as potentially reorganize the bonus features so they're on film-specific releases instead of bonus discs. The real question would be whether or not they try and dredge up even more new content out of the archives to entice yet another purchase from people who already own the movie. Of course, this is just speculation, but...
