So does this stuff all go straight to streaming or...?

Not automatically. Some will, some won't. For some they'll get a short-term streaming deal but not a permanent addition to the streaming collection (cf In a Lonely Place, The In-Laws, and numerous others).

AUGUST: The Koker Trilogy; The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice; The Inland Sea; and upgrades of Magnificent Obsession and An Angel At My Table.

Also: The Ozu features a bonus film, What Did The Lady Forget?, that he made in the 30s.

The Flavor of Green Tea Over Rice is playing here in a couple weeks, I thought this part of the description was hilarious: "This is considered one of Ozu's more active films - for example, there are car rides."

not mad at a Magnificent Obsession upgrade, but I'm really loosing my patience waiting on a Written on the Wind blu ray.
― methanietanner, Thursday, 16 May 2019 00:06 (four years ago) link
Same. But glad to know that eventually all three of them will be getting an upgrade now.

Everyone going nuts for the Criterion sale at B+N should know they’re also doing Arrow Films half off as well, your chance to get KHRUSTALYOV MY CAR, DISTANT VOICES / STILL LIVES, PULSE, and the Rivette Box Set.— Peter Labuza (@labuzamovies) June 29, 2019

Rumor has it that a Godzilla announcement will be dropping next week, presumably in re: a massive set of the Toho material that's been on Filmstruck/Criterion Channel for some time.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Sunday, 14 July 2019 15:32 (four years ago) link
Also lots of speculation that they'll announce, tomorrow, the 1,000th spine number which people seem convinced will be Citizen Kane.

Wong Kar-wai's birthday today - boxset?
OCTOBER: Matewan; When We Where Kings; and Blu upgrades of Haxan and the Von Sternberg Silents box.
NO SPINE #1000 (YET)

When We Where Kings has Soul Power as a bonus film.

Whew, I'd been right on the verge of picking up Haxan on the assumption that no upgrade was on the horizon. The rare occasion when I've avoided getting punked by Criterion announcing a release that I've literally just bought.
― Logy Psycho (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 July 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link
According to a poster on the Criterion Forum, #1000 should be announced next week (probably the Godzilla box).

Announcing our October lineup, featuring a wrenching drama about a pivotal struggle in the American labor movement & an Oscar-winning chronicle of one of Muhammad Ali’s greatest fights.
