Why is the Spongebob Squarepants Movie $19.99 at Best Buy?
I would expect this to be a major release.
I know Bambi is $15.99 but still Spongebob could be another huge dvd seller like Shrek 2.

Depending on the location you can price match Ultimate Electronics for $11.95. Best Buy has loss leaders and Sponge Bob is a DVD to help make up that margin. Ultimate must have underestimated demand because they ordered ten at the Phoenix store.
