$4.88 DVD display at Wal-Mart (online as well)

[MovieExchange]

Usual disclaimer, did a search for "$4.88" didn't find this posted already.

Saw a big display in the main aisle outside the entertainment department. Here's what I remember seeing:

The General's Daughter
Clue
Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 & 3 (separate, not the gift box for $4.88)
Flashdance
Another 48 Hours
Enemy at the Gate

There were probably 4 or 5 more that I don't remember the names of.

Oh, looks like the $5.50 bin got another boost, as I found Mystery Men, Lockup and Frankenstein (DeNiro) tonight.

[Cameron]

48 Hours (Widescreen)

Does anybody know if the transfer of this disc is good? Its the only one from the list that I'm interested in.

[legend42]

Does anybody know if the transfer of this disc is good? Its the only one from the list that I'm interested in.

It's non-anamorphic, but the transfer is pretty decent. Definitely not a botch-job. There's a 5.1 track that's nothing special. It seems like Paramount might be prepping a re-release, but for less than $5, it's hard to go wrong.

[SPiRAL]

Ofcourse I wanted Beverly Hills Cop 2 , 3 and Bad News Bears , and my WM doesn't have them. They have every movie mentioned, but the three I wanted. :(

[Premise]

My WM also had Young Sherlock Holmes.

[gfoots]

Is there a new version of Bad News Bears on the way to coincide with the remake?

P.S. I accidentally typed Bad News Rears wich I thought was kind of funny.

[wennma01]

has anyone seen vanilla sky at wal-mart? i've been meaning to get that for a while now

[BamaDan]

I saw all the above at my Wal-Mart (Huntsville, AL) in the same 4-sided display as the brand new releases in the main aisle. Picked up Saturday Night Fever ("He hits my hair!") and Beverly Hills Cop. Plenty of Vanilla Sky, etc. Most folks were too busy looking at the Elektra disks to notice it...savages...:)

[MrE]

Ditto. I saw tons of all the movies listed last night.

[silvey_jason]

In addition to that, my Wal-Mart also had a display of Fox TV box sets for $14.44. I picked up King of the Hill-Season 1 and Harsh Realm-Complete Series. They also had Buffy-Season 1, NYPD Blue Season 1, an Alley McBeal compliation set, and several others. Definitely worth searching your store for if you've been holding off buying some sets...

[Bill Geiger]

My Walmart had all of the above, except Bad News Bears. I got the Score.

[abintra]

Is there a new version of Bad News Bears on the way to coincide with the remake?

I haven't seen any rumors of such but it is very, very likely. No extras, average picture quality at best.

[Keith123]

has anyone seen vanilla sky at wal-mart? i've been meaning to get that for a while nowThe Wal-Mart in Xenia, Ohio has it and many other titles stocked in depth. I suspect they will sell fast over the weekend though. For anyone in the area, the big floor display of $4.88 DVD's is in the front of the store, right around cash register lane #3...

[dadaluholla]

Hey! Thats good to know. We're not too far from each other. If my wal-mart doesn't have anything I may run up there to check it out.
-biggrin-

[cfloyd3]

I was pleased to find one of my favorite guilty pleasures Clue in this $4.88 deal and picked it up today. I did not see What's Eating Gilbert Grape but people were not surprisingly swarming the rack and Clue only had a few remaining. I was lucky enough to encounter some savages rambling about how they cannot find Full Screen DVD's. I was disgusted and quickly left.

[rkndkn]

Our WalMart had the Richard Gere "Primal Fear" in the $4.88 bin, not "Primal Fear - The History Of Fear".

[Al_Tahoe]

P.S. I accidentally typed Bad News Rears wich I thought was kind of funny.

[Patman]

I wonder why Paramount is slashing prices on these DVD titles.

[mikeporter]

Tonight I picked up:

$4.88
Beverly Hills Cop
Beverly Hills Cop 2
Enemy at the Gates
General's Daughter

$5.50
One Million Years B.C.
Primary Colors
Romancing The Stone

[emachine12]

Scored:

Clue
Saturday Night Fever
Night At The Roxbury
Urban Cowboy
Domestic Disturbance
Orange County

All for under $33. Yeah.

[TimRP]

My wife picked up these 3 for me: Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2 & 3

[Manzana]

I picked up a couple titles as well, but most of the ones in this sale were ones I had already bought, such as Saturday Night Fever for $15 at Costco when it first came out or Enemy at the Gates for $5.95 from Columbia House thinking I had gotten a good deal. I felt pretty stupid seeing it for $4.88.

I second the question previously asked: does anyone know why Paramount is doing this? Fry's had a bunch of Paramount titles for $5.99 last week, then $4.99 this week, and then Walmart for $4.88. Are these titles being discontinued or were too many produced?

I'm wondering if this means I should not buy any more Paramount DVDs until they are under $6 if this is the new trend. Too bad I couldn't find What's Eating Gilbert Grape at my Walmart as it's the title I wanted the most. They had tons of Primal Fear (with Richard Gere) but no Beverly Hills Cop 2-3.

Some people had said Walmart had 61* in their $5.50 bins, but I could never stand to dig through that overflowing mess of a bin, so I got it at $5.99 at Best Buy where things were organized on a shelf.

[Dabaomb]

Paramount is lowering their titles cuz catalog titles get lowered over time since they don't sell well anymore at their previous price. A lot of those titles that have received drops are 3-5 years old or even older.

Also, since HD-DVD is around the corner, I'm expecting that more and more titles will get price drops quicker.

[cynthia]

In addition to the ones listed, my Wal-Mart had plenty of Sabrina (Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond) in the $4.88 display.

[lewisb73]

I wonder why Paramount is slashing prices on these DVD titles.


Ive been wondering the same thing... it's great to see all those cheap movies, considering how Paramount was one of the last major studios to embrace dvd (as well as the last one represented in the WalMart 5.99/5.50 dvd bin)

As for myself, picked up...
Bad News Bears (had to dig a little to find them.. great movie, and I am sure the remake will blow since there are no film makers who would use the dirty language from the first, as well as the coach being a drunk with a beer in his hands ALWAYS)
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (love the movie and love impersonating Leo DiCaprio from the movie...)
Beverly Hills Cop 2 (picked up #1 the other night but have never seen any of these, but seeing how the first 2 were smash hits, picked up as blind buys)

[JCFantasy23]

Tonight I picked up:


$5.50
Romancing The Stone

Online it lists it as 10.87 :thmbsdwn:

[cajun_junky]

I picked up Saturday Night Fever and Vanilla Sky. I will probably get Beverly Hills Cop 1-3 in a couple of days.

[demonio]

I picked up:
Urban Cowboy
A Night at The Roxbury
Beverly Hills Cop
and Whats Eating Gilbert Grape

KILLA!!

I just wanted to say the remake is being done by Richard Linklater, possible the most important independent filmmaker currently working, who has proven his ability to work with kids in School of Rock, and it was written by the team behing Bad Santa. So I have high hopes for the Bad News Bears.

[Liquid Death]

How is the transfer on Primal Fear? It doesn't seem like it will be re-released with 16x9 anytime soon...

[jpdude]

i REALLY wanted to pick up Primal Fear & Urban Cowboy, but i'm holding out for SE's on both. BTW, this is the 25th anniv for Urban Cowboy......lets cross our fingers!

[darkhawk]

Urban Cowboy
Domestic Disturbance
Flashdance
Dear God

[Michael Corvin]

How is the transfer on Primal Fear? It doesn't seem like it will be re-released with 16x9 anytime soon...

I bought this the other night. Didn't even notice. It isn't Anamorphic? Damn. I don't think I have the receipt.

I didn't see 48 hours, only the sequel.

[Brent L]

Thanks OP for pointing this out. Today I bought:

-Beverly Hills Cop
-Beverly Hills Cop II
-Beverly Hills CopIII
-Enemy At The Gates
-Orange County
-Vanilla Sky
-Young Sherlock Holmes

[dadaluholla]

My Wal-Mart did not have these. They were about a week behind on getting the Eastwood bin in too so I'll check back later this week. Or go to another one down the road. I'm not in a big rush to hunt down these titles.
-wink-

[sade]

Nothing here in Atlanta :(

[Jboone]

sade -- Check out the Mansell Road store. Large bin with all the above titles + the Fox $14.44 TV box sets.

[kenbenobi]

I got Clue, Primal Fear, and Vanilla Sky... Tempted to get Domestic Disturbance only because I briefly dated Susan Floyd (who played Travolta's girlfriend in the movie), but I didn't really like the film. I'll probably go back for the BH Cop flicks... I find it interesting that there are so many Travolta films in the 4.88 deal. Guess his movies don't sell very well at normal price...

[the narrator]

My Wal-Mart had very tiny box like thing that held about 20 titles sitting on top of the Fox 14.44 display.

I picked up the last copies of General's Daughter, Primal Fear and Bad News Bears

[Rammsteinfan]

picked up Clue and Young Sherlock Holmes

[cupon]

picked up ... Young Sherlock Holmes
for $4.88?

[Brent L]

Yes, for $4.88.

[emerald9999]

picked up Clue and Young Sherlock Holmes

Which Bay Area store did you find these at? I've been to 2 so far and did not see the 4.88 bin or the $14.44 TV sets. I was at Martinez (yesterday) and San Leandro (Thursday).....

[Rammsteinfan]

We found them at the Hayward/Union City store. I didnt see a bin at the Milpitas store. Tons of 4.88 titles near the SHOE depart in Union City.

[dadaluholla]

My Wal-Mart finally got them in. I figured they would with the other dvd shipments. Anyway, they had most of them in with the Eastwood 5.50 bin. And it wasn't in the electronics area or up front. It was down by the towels and sheets. I bought Vanilla Sky and Beverly Hills Cop.

[wm lopez]

Any Wal-mart stores in Illinois with $4.88?

[The Cow]

Any Wal-mart stores in Illinois with $4.88?
The one in Lincoln has them.

[emerald9999]

We found them at the Hayward/Union City store. I didnt see a bin at the Milpitas store. Tons of 4.88 titles near the SHOE depart in Union City.

Thanks, I might make a trip down there. Did they have the $14.44 TV first season displays?

[TheNightFlier]

Anybody know if there's any on Long Island doing this? I checked the Wal-Mart in the Sunrise Mall, but no dice. Did pickup the Sneakers Collectors Edition in the 5.50 bin though.

[rooter]

I got Vanilla Sky, The Score, Bad News Bears, Beverly Hills Cop and What's Eating Gilbert Grape

[Rammsteinfan]

Thanks, I might make a trip down there. Did they have the $14.44 TV first season displays?

Yup, they had those too.

We went out shopping today and ended up in Pleasanton store and they had the same 4.88's but also had Evolution there as well. Picked that up today.

[cdoug57]

Middle Georgia here, have only seen the $4.88 display, have yet to see the $14.44 display.

Did pick up Young Sherlock Holmes.

[petroc]

Anyone find the first 48 hours in the display? I can only find the 2nd one.

[the narrator]

all I have seen is copies of the sequel, Another 48 Hours

[Rammsteinfan]

Yup, no 48 Hours, just Another 48 hours.

[Star Wars Guy]

Any Wal-mart stores in Illinois with $4.88?
Yep, Decatur has them too. I picked up all 3 Beverly Hills Cop movies.

[TheNightFlier]

Took a ride to the Walmart in East Meadow and they had the 4.88 display right as you walk in. Picked up Beverly Hills Cop 1,2, & 3, along with Clue and Young Sherlock Holmes.

The display didn't even look to be touched, every movie listed was there.

[Cameron]

found everything but clue....still can't find those 5.50 eastwood titles

[TheNightFlier]

found everything but clue....still can't find those 5.50 eastwood titles

There were a load of them along with the 4.88 ones in the 5.50 bin. From what I remember there was...

Firefox
Sudden Impact
The Enforcer
Pale Rider
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Where Eagles Dare
Magnum Force
Absolute Power
Every Which Way But Loose

I think I might go back tomorrow and pick a few up. Digging through those bins is a pain in the ass though.

[Abob Teff]

wm lopez and Star Wars Guy, where are you guys from?

Both stores in Springfield have them, and tons of them. The Supercenter has them up front by the grocery side entry. The regular Wally has them back by the electronics section.

[mounds37]

I feel stupid...
I'm looking online under the sale, and almost half of these are not coming up as $4.88...

Am I doing something wrong??

hmmm. It does look as if not all of these are 4.88 anymore. Maybe it's a temporary glitch?

[baloux]

Went to our local Walmart here in Northern VA and I got Enemy at The Gates and Sabrina for $4.88 :). There are lots of other titles but unfortunately, I don't remember any of them (oh, I remember at least one and I think it's something like Rugrats Adventure)...

[SlingshotBandit]

Just wanted to post that the local Wal-Mart by me -- the one in Santa Clarita, CA -- has a sizeable $4.88 bin, as well. Most of the titles mentioned in this thread was in it. Just picked up Night at the Roxbury for now. May go back to pick up a couple more later on.

[jmclemore]

Any Wal-mart stores in Illinois with $4.88?

Don't know where you are from, wm lopez, but they have em in MANY Central Illinois stores; namely Peoria (The old one on University), East Peoria, Morton, and Bloomington.

Around us, there is surely no shortage of 'em.

[GizmoDVD]

Picked up Vanilla Sky, Roxbury, and Saturday Night Fever (in slim cool case). Also got Jerry Seinfelds Comedian for $8.88 in the DVD section.

[wm lopez]

I did find some on April 15!
Picked up 2 movies.
