I scoured the thing but it was covered mostly in things I owned or had no interest in. It was a really weird mix of things, and here's my best attempt at memory:
King Kong 1976 (OK, I did get this...)
Collateral
Blades of Glory
Nacho Libre
Red Eye
Congo
The Thing Called Love (director's cut)
Trading Places (ooh...I didn't think to look, but I'm pretty sure it was the original release anyway)
Many FS only titles. I didn't pay close attention, sorry :S
I should've taken a picture with my phone but didn't think about it.
Er, anyway, as you can see, a pretty bizarre mix. All paramount titles, I believe.

hmmm... is this one of those 4-sided displays with a large selection of titles like they have had previously? or is it just part of their e-pod which is just that small section in their department? will have to check out my local WM to see if there's any finds. thanks for the heads up!

(Somewhat obscure reference- might've played better if we were talking about HD-DVDs, but couldn't resist nonetheless.)

I stopped by a Wally today and they had two seasons of NYPD Blue sslotted in the bottom row of the Halloween display. Zombies, ghosts, and Dennis Franz's ass - it makes sense to me.

So it's basically a 'whatever we have and can't get rid of' sale.
These things do come in bunches. For every few good years of horror releases, occasionally you get a crappy one.

Same here. I'll give it a look, and may pick up Blades of Glory if it gets on the rack. I saw a $15 tv on dvd rack here though, with 3 seasons of Arrested Development, How I Met Your Mother Season 1, my name is earl, and a few other stuff. I'll go back and check it out, and pick up AD seasons.

Well, I had fun looking at all the titles. For those people(like me!), that haunt Big Lots looking for the next big wave of titles this was cool...even at $4.00 each at Wal-Mart instead of $3.00 Anyway, I picked up-
Scrooged (Bill Murray)
Black Sheep (Chris Farley)
Days of Thunder (Mr. Cruise)
King Kong (Jessica Lange)
Also remember seeing Congo/Rat Race/Tomb Raider movies...

Domestic Disturbance
An Officer and a Gentleman (first pressing)
Mission Impossibe III (FS)
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (FS)
The Ring (FS)

Scrooged? Really? I'll have to see if I find that.Yep, and is widescreen enhanced, my receipt gives a barcode# of 009736320544. The display seemed pretty much full when I was there but some titles were much more heavily stocked then others though. I saw plenty of copies of "Yours, Mine & Ours(the re-make, not the original 1968 one). Didn't see any copies of the previously reported "An Officer and a Gentleman" at my location. They had 3 copies of King Kong(1976) and then only 2 left after I bought mine.

I almost picked up Scrooged but then i remembered a few years ago that there was supposed to be an SE for the movie but it was apparently cancelled. Is there a possibly this might still be released? Or should i just go for this disc? For $4 it wouldn't hurt.

10-11-08, 07:41 PM
I went back for Scrooged, but they didn't have any copies at my store. I did see a few more in the display that haven't been mentioned here:
Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson
Along Came a Spider
Kiss the Girls
Twice Upon a Christmas (TV Movie with Kathy Ireland)
Get Rich Or Die Tryin'
The House Without a Christmas Tree

Stopped by the North Dartmouth Mass. location and found the 3-sided cardboard display back to back with the Iron Man cardboard display (in case anyone's looking for it from this area). Mostly everything there was WS which I was pleasantly surprised about. I wound up getting...
Blades of Glory
Pamela Anderson Roast
The Thing Called Love - Directors Cut
Scrooged
The Tuxedo
Personally, I couldn't believe I hadn't picked up Blades of Glory beforehand at a lesser sale somewhere else. If you like Will Ferrell silly-ass humor (like I do) you'll LOVE this movie.......That's just my opinion given to those of you on the fence.

I saw the majority of the movies mentioned at my Walmart and I went in with a list and found all I wanted except Coach Carter and Trading Places. I'm assuming Trading Places the old edition, so Coach Carter was really the only one I wanted but couldn't find, Are many other people seeing Coach Carter in their stores and is it P&S or WS? Last time I remember seeing Coach Carter at WMT many months ago there were only P&S copies. Now there are none.
Several movies mentioned at my store were P&S only in the display, but after wasting 15 minutes digging through the overstuffed (dangerously so) $5 bin I found a few of the ones I wanted (including one in WS).

Like others, I was dissapointed that Wal-Mart doesn't have the massive horror dvd display this year. Since DVD prices have dropped, it seems that they haven't had as many displays likes in years past.
Anyway, I saw more of the same from the $4 display but they also had Days of Thunder, Mission Impossible 1 (original release) for $4.

I almost miss Sony's Dreadtime Stories re-release series. That was a good way to release a few old titles with some cheap ones you'd never think of until then. Given that they fucked up with the Silent Hill double feature's OAR, the rest of them weren't that bad. I still have the Grudge 1 & 2 sitting at home, ready to be viewed in widescreen. :D

Today, my local Wal-mart had 2 of these displays. One where you might expect it near the DVD section. Another in the front of the store near the registers.
To answer your question, Manzana - I saw many of the copies of Coach Carter and they all appeared to be Widescreen.

*SOME ADVICE WHEN LOOKING AT THE $4 DISPLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
if you see lets say MI:3 and look behind one or 2 copies and you see that its still MI:3 copies, DONT STOP THERE keep looking behind every copy ... i noticed alot of additional movies behind a mountain of other movies
