Cast Release and legal issues ''A Clock Work Blue'' opened in 1972 at the Cinestage Theatre on Dearborn Street in Chicago, Illinois, six days after the film ''A Clockwork Orange'' had completed an 18-week run at the nearby Michael Todd Theatre. This, combined with ''A Clock Work Blue''s title and the fact that some of its advertising had made references to ''A Clockwork Orange'' (such as that the former film "makes ''Orange'' blush") resulted in legal action from Warner Bros., the distributor of ''A Clockwork Orange''. The case resulted in Warner Bros. winning a consent order which declared that ''A Clock Work Blue'' was not to be screened under that title in any other theater in Cook County, Illinois.

Double Feature
The double feature is a motion picture industry phenomenon in which theatres would exhibit two films for the price of one, supplanting an earlier format in which one feature film and various short subject reels would be shown. Opera use Opera houses staged two operas together for the sake of providing long performance for the audience. This was related to one-act or two-act short operas that were otherwise commercially hard to stage alone. A prominent example is the double-bill of ''Pagliacci'' with ''Cavalleria rusticana'' first staged on 22 December 1893 by the Metropolitan Opera, Met. The two operas have since been frequently performed as a double-bill, a pairing referred to in the operatic world colloquially as "Cav and Pag".

Though the dominant presentation model, consisting of all or some of the following, continued well into the 1940s: * One or more live acts * An animated cartoon Short film, short subject ...

Blu-ray
The Blu-ray Disc (BD), often known simply as Blu-ray, is a digital optical disc data storage format. It was invented and developed in 2005 and released on June 20, 2006 worldwide. It is designed to supersede the DVD format, and capable of storing several hours of high-definition video (HDTV 720p and 1080p). The main application of Blu-ray is as a medium for video material such as feature films and for the physical distribution of video games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The name "Blu-ray" refers to the blue laser (which is actually a violet laser) used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs. The polycarbonate disc is in diameter and thick, the same size as DVDs and CDs. Conventional or pre-BD-XL Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual-layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for fea ...
