Odd to see a Movie pre-order on the TV side, but at least it looks like this sucker will be out in time for the holidays if the pre-order's up already.
This is also the movie. The description on the page is the film plot. It is just a limited edition version of the movie.I actually didn't know what this was.
I am not a fan of the series. I do know it's a TV show and now a movie.
However, the movie preorder is posted in the Blu-ray area -- but not sure what this release is.
It's a gift set (box o'junk?) for the movie, but the amazon link doesn't list any details. Maybe they should do a limited edition gift set of the actual series, that includes the unedited versions of the episodes that weren't on blu in the U.S.
I went to an advanced screening of this last week and, although I found it a bit predictable and revolved too much around the visit from the king and queen, enjoyed it a lot. But then again I adored the show and have missed it since it went off the air in 2015.
Charming, old-school film-making, when plot mattered more than special effects. Predictably - a bit. But then again, you weren't going to see Downton Abbey to have a killer clown jump out and hack everyone to pieces in the third act. Great to see most - if not all - of the cast come back.
Loved the series. Thought the movie was wonderful, but strangely a bit lacking. I certainly wish this would lead to a continuation of the franchise on PBS. Doubtful prospect, I know. But wouldn't it be wonderful if this became the new Coronation Street of British television?
PS - bring O'Brien back. Every series needs its evil-doer.

I heard over the wireless that it took in over $30 Million USD in the US, the biggest opening for a "Focus" Feature ...The developments regarding Tom in particular seemed to leave many loose threads. I bet they're thinking of reviving the series.

It beat the top tow newcomers and was in less theatres ... all of this might be confusing to the Dowager Countess:
...
If the box office continues, perhaps the money people will be looking to put out more quality well-though out dramas.(Or at least publicizing the current ones better) Especially since I understand Downton's budget was considerably under that of Rambo X ...
I know little about British TV production, other than that Downton is made for/by Carnival ... ... I believe there have been some films that were co-financed by the BBC as well ...If the Beeb could get someone to co-fund it (if that's even possible), I could see a Call The Midwife movie.
My preorder for this is in. I wonder when the street date will be announced.
Best Buy is showing a release date of December 17, 2019. The perfect stocking stuffer!
