Someone should get in touch with Universal or Shout Factory and see about getting a complete Blu/4K collection set out for next year. If Universal themselves aren't interested then Shout could easily release all 4 films in a collection under their Shout Select banner.
I too would love to see this in an actual theater. I'm kinda of surprised that TCM isn't doing an event screening for this film this year. TCM must figure that since this film is not as widely known like The Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno that doing a screening wouldn't make a lot of...
Here's where all the Airport films aired on TV.
Airport aired on November 11 1973 on ABC and was the then highest joint rated movie on TV matching Love Story's premiere with 42.3 rating but a higher audience share of 63%.
Airport 1975 and Airport '77 both aired on NBC in 1978 and 1981...
I did a quick Google search after you said that and I saw that it did in fact air on NBC. I wouldn't of thought NBC would been interested in this film as they previously showed two of the big 4 Disaster films.
Decided to kill two birds here with this thread (don't tell PETA)
This year marks the anniversaries for both the original 70's Disaster film, Airport and the 90's cult classic Empire Records.
Do you think that Shout could/will do a big 50th Anniversary release for Airport and it's sequels...
