Article says it started as removing BD-R but they’d keep operating for corporate customers (studios) but that appears to have collapsed quickly. I’m interpreting it as the end of Blu-ray production entirely.
Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb

This is probably about recordable BD-R’s, this doesn’t affect Blu-ray movies.
At least, I hope not…

Didn’t Sony recently take over Blu-ray production for Disney? And don’t they also have Blu-ray titles scheduled for release in the next few months? This doesn’t make sense to me.

Yes and yes, but looking at BR releases, they seem to drop off hard around the month of May.
This lines up pretty close to 3 months after close, I think that could be a lead time if production ends next month. They are probably printing April releases right now.

You never know, maybe they just didn’t announce new titles yet.
Or maybe I’m just coping.

Yet.
