I would just like to take a moment to put a lot of people down (sorry). From my research, Paramount Pictures have never released an ‘R5′ of any of their productions. Please do correct me if I have missed something.
A little bit about R5’s… what we know as an ‘R5′ tagged release from the scene is a studio-produced telecine, put out quickly and cheaply to compete against telecine piracy in Russia. Not all studios are on board for this and so do not release them, Paramount is one of them. DVD region 5 actually covers a lot of country’s and not just Russia, see here.
Please take the time to look through Paramount’s list of productions and you will see that none of the productions have had an R5 released before the R1/R2 retail, See list here.
The list includes the ‘Indiana Jones 4‘, ‘The Love Guru‘, ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging‘. Also, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk may very well fall under this too as Paramount are distributors for them, however Marvel would have the most leverage over releasing R5’s and I don’t think any of their previous productions have had any R5’s releases. There is no Russian distributor listed for Iron Man although Universal is listed for The Incredible Hulk.
So please, next time you aimlessly reply to an article with the words “I’ll wait for R5″ please take into account the production company’s track record for releasing R5’s because you may not ever see one for that movie.
