Cyber Monday is in the rearview mirror, and with it, the biannual Barnes and Noble Criterion Collection sale.
But if you thought that your chance to save 50% on Criterion Collection 4K Blu-rays was over, you thought wrong. Over on Amazon, some Criterion Collection releases are still marked down to 50% off. Even if it doesn’t look like it’s on sale — these are regularly priced between $40 (Blu-ray) and $50 (4K UHD), so the $20-$25 price tag on Amazon is, in fact, reflective of a major discount even if it doesn’t say that.
This even includes some of the most recent titles to enter the collection; Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas debuted in the Criterion Collection today, and you can already snag a copy for 50% off. If you’re looking to save some cash while you build the physical media library of your dreams or you’re holiday shopping for the cinephile in your life, you won’t want to miss this extended Cyber Monday deal.
Below, check out some of the newest Criterion Collection entries that you can get for 50% off, along with bestsellers and editor favorites.
