Blockbuster 5 for $20 Sale (Previously Viewed)

Re: Blockbuster 5 for $20 Sale (Previously Viewed)
Now that Blockbuster stores are starting to open on the east coast, has anyone gone to a store and confirmed the sale is going on and which are the new titles (besides Kick Ass and Robin Hood (2010) mentioned above)?
Robin Hood (2010) for $4 would be OK for me if I could find 4 other titles I want, and assuming the sale is nationwide and not just at certain stores. That way I could return my unopened $10 combo pack from Target.
I'll be calling my store when they open to see what they say. Considering it'll be mostly the same stuff as the last sale, I'd be lucky to find 5 new titles I want.

Re: Blockbuster 5 for $20 Sale (Previously Viewed)
Went to two near me this morning. Neither had a lot of copies of the new titles added (on average 1-3 copies of each, although a few had more). It seemed they had renewed stock of the titles that were carried over from the last sale (these copies were not out when I had checked earlier this week).
Anyway, picked up these from the new titles available:
Book of Eli
Chloe
Clash of the Titans (original)
Cop Out
Date Night
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The Losers
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Under the Sea 3D (was not the 3D version, just the regular, YMMV)
picked up these from the first sale that were out of stock during that sale:
Observe and Report
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Jumper
Terminator Salvation
may go back this afternoon and grab:
Get Him to the Greek
Knight and Day
Marmaduke
A Nightmare on Elm Street (remake)
Santa Buddies

I can confirm that there will be a $.99 sale going on again this weekend. I stopped by a local store on my lunch break and couldnt find a single 5 for $20 title I wanted. They did have a table of $5.99 blu-rays and the girl said they would be marking them down each day just like they did for Memorial Day. Before some of you cream your pants, it was a pretty lousy selection and looked like it was just the leftovers from Memorial Day.

Picked up
All 3 Lord of the Rings
Chloe
Layer Cake
National Treasure 2
The Song Remains the Same
Gods & Generals
Fool's Gold
Drillbit Taylor
I saw several copies of The Social Network marked @ $9.99. I also saw The Pacific (Disc 1 only). If it would have been a little more complete, I would've jumped on it. Also saw one random disc from Band of Brothers but I already have the series.

Re: Blockbuster 5 for $20 Sale (Previously Viewed)
I was just at the Blockbuster in Highland Pk. (St. Paul) and they had a 99 cent table. I picked up Californication S1, Brooklyn's Finest, Flight of the Phoenix (remake), Cold Souls, A Single Man. Dozens of other movie titles & single disks from several TV shows. Worth a look if you're in the neighborhood.

Anyone in Seattle know of a good store? Everyone I've been to has no selection of Blus or games. The Lake City Way one was the best one last time.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Cop Out
Gods and Generals
The Last Station
How to Train Your Dragon
Harry Brown
Coraline

Hoosiers
Alien vs Predator
And my best score - all six discs from 'Band of Brothers' (in five cases, so it was $20 total).

They also had The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest but it rang up 16.99. I've read reports of other people finding it for $9.99, but it wasn't so for me.

Pays to ask for help if you think the BDs are marked at the wrong price. I asked the workers at my local BB if their prices were the same as everyone else's and they said "Yes." Had them scan a few titles (the ones mentioned in this thread) and all showed up at $9.99. While I was there, the BB employees printed out a new price list and re-stickered all of the incorrectly priced titles.

Only picked up 5 discs today:
Date Night
Taken
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Knight and Day
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
Was hoping to get Dinner For Schmucks, but it was still marked above $9.99. The Champlain/Perrin store still had the LOTR trilogy, a couple Toy Story's, and Wall-E, if anyone is hunting for them.

Re: Blockbuster 5 for $20 Sale (Previously Viewed)
I was a little ticked that I had forgot about Robin Hood when i was there, so i went back to check, and they had one. Grabbed that and:
The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Jonah Hex
Knight and Day
I wish I had known The Social Network was $9.99 at other stores, it was marked $16.99 at mine, so I didn't bother having them scan it
