I'm finally getting through the 100 Years of Olympic Films set

Say, aren't the Summer Olympics in Japan this year? I wouldn't be surprised if

Tokyo Olympiad

got a standalone release in the summer.

But my guesses are:
An Unmarried Woman
Agnes Varda box (I can't believe any of the four big boxes hasn't been announced in the first five months! I would expect a delay in one or more at this point.)
Secrets & Lies

Upgrade: An English-language film, since, apart from Salesman, we've had several months of foreign film upgrades (The Cranes Are Flying,
Gaudi, Rohmer)--and the reintroduction of Army of Shadows.

NEWSLETTER - MARCH 16, 2020
Dear members of the Criterion community,

It’s the middle of the month, and under normal circumstances we would have announced our June DVD and Blu-ray releases today. As we all know these are not normal circumstances.

In order to be conscientious citizens and to reduce/delay the spread of COVID-19, the Criterion team spent much of last week transitioning to a remote working environment. It is our sincere hope that we will be able to continue our work this way, serving our mission while attending to the health, safety, and economic security of 100% of our staff.

We’ve been heartened by all the people who have reached out to us by email or shouted out on social networks to ask how we are doing, and the answer is, so far, so good. Our employees are up and running with the new protocols, and we’ll do everything we can to adapt as the situation evolves. We expect to move forward with the announcement of June titles in the next day or two.

We’re also aiming to announce the Criterion Channel’s April lineup next week. April 8 will be the Channel’s first birthday, and in celebration we’ve pulled out all the stops with a ton of great programming. Under the circumstances, we’re glad we did!

Finally, many of you have asked if there is anything you can do, and there is. If you haven’t tried out the Criterion Channel yet, please check it out, and if you like what you see, please sign up for a 14-day free trial. Subscribing and giving gift subscriptions to the Channel are probably the most important things you can do to help ensure that we can keep serving our audiences and our filmmakers, supporting our staff, and making sure that we can all stay connected with the movies we love.

Thanks, as always, for your support. We’ll keep working hard to earn it.

All the best,
Peter Becker and Jonathan Turell
