Fahrenheit 9/11 being released in September

"Those who want to avoid the lines at the multiplex this weekend will have to wait until September. That's when Moore is planning to release the DVD, complete with extra footage and director's commentary."

I'd bet on the week before, close to or on the days of the Republican Convention in NYC.
Dan Average: If it would be in poor taste to release on 9/11, what does it say about the RNC that they tried to book their convention as close to 9/11 as possible?

I wonder if they will keep the price low so alot of ppl will pick it up. I would if its under $15. Its a good film but how many times would I watch it after the initial time? Needs to be cheap...

I'm sure the SRP for the film will be around $26.99 - $29.99 (even if the film is a one-disc edition or two-discs).
This means it'll be on sale for $15 on release date at Best Buy or Circuit City. Similar to Bowling For Columbine.

This is a political film and the release of the DVD will be highly political. That is very good news for everyone in the land of the free and beyond.
Not that this thread should be full of attacks or solely political decate, because as you say we're talking about a DVD.
Let's keep it polite.

I'm happy about the quick turn-around, but I was thinking they'd want to release the DVD closer to the November election so it would be fresh in people's minds.

It seems to be the #1 picture of the weekend, even though it is on about 850 screens and White Chicks, the runner-up, is on about 3,000. That should make the DVD negotiations more competitive.
My guess is that it will come out in late September with additional footage, perhaps even a director's cut, updated through the next few months of 2004. As with the DVD of Bowling for Columbine, I bet we see a good number of extras.

It's sold out all over the place around here. I couldn't get to see it.
I can't believe it's beating out Dodgeball, which at the multiplex I visited was on three screens to Fahrenheit's one.

Don't wait...
Of course I'll be buying this DVD, but the audience response is not to be missed. Our theater, Fahrenheit 9/11 on 3 screens, was sold-out and everyone was clapping, booing... throughout the film. This is an event DVD can't match.

Yeah, our audience was equally as vocal and it was great. At the end of the film when Moore held a long shot on Bush someone shouted out "You F***ing MURDERER!"
Priceless.

So the mods post wasn't soley to prevent a harsh debate, but simply because the post was off topic for this forum in general.
