Current Events > Whats the deal with the rights to the Friday the 13th movies as far as blu ray?

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's not a set of the first film all the way through Jason X that's currently in print as far as I can tell. I think there was maybe one made at one point on DVD or something, but I can never find one that's currently available.

Asking because the first 8 movies are on sale as a bundle through VUDU for like $13. But I don't want to buy that if they may come up with a set with all 10 films in the near future.

This is the only collection that has all 12 films (Friday the 13th 1-10, Freddy vs Jason, & remake) which was released in 2013:

From what I know, Friday 9 and 10 were owned by New Line, while 1-8 and are owned by Paramount, so different studios which makes it difficult to put all films in one boxset. There is also a current legal dispute between Paramount (I believe) and Sean Cunningham (the director of 1 - again...I think, not sure) over the rights to the character, so lots of issues make a physical media collection difficult.
