As many of you are aware, some customers are encountering issues with our limited edition UHD release of DONNIE DARKO (FCD2113 / AV341). Resolving this issue has proven more complex than originally anticipated but we have a solution in place.
If you have purchased a copy of our limited edition 4K UHD release (FCD2113 / AV341) you will be eligible for a replacement of Disc 1 (Theatrical Cut). Replacement discs are ready and shipping now. If you ordered directly through the Arrow website, replacements have all now shipped.
Please note that all new copies of the limited edition have the corrected disc included. The corrected disc is identified by 'V2' written on the disc after the catalogue number.
Please also note that if you have bought the re-release/standard edition (FCD2234 / AV409), you do not need a replacement disc. This edition uses the same master as the aforementioned replacement discs and is unaffected by the manufacturing issue. These discs will not have V2 written on them as they are a new, separate release.
