Oh. That's unfortunate. I thought from your initial post that other companies held the rights and they're just sitting on them.
Man, I hope the new movie renews interest and someone gets interested in releasing the other movies...

Okay, a pipe dream, but I'd love it is Criterion would tackle a few more Godzilla movies.

I'd love for that, too. Those are just awesome releases!
