"In recent years, the rise of film culture among younger viewers has ignited a renewed interest in DVDs and Blu-rays" but "Not only does Netflix's acquisition call into question the future of theatrically run Warner Bros. releases on physical media, but also the future of Warner Archive, who are some of the last bastions in keeping the studio's history alive... Under Netflix, I doubt there would be any interest to give Ken Russell's "The Devils" a proper Blu-ray release, for example, in spite of it being one of the most important and provocative films of the 1970s".
