I think this will sell well, because the film itself proved there was a market/ desire for such fare. I am going to wait on the SE myself because I am a Christian who loves special features. Besides, my roommate is buying the barebones. So, I can wait until Easter or whenever the SE comes out.

That doesn't mean people aren't buying them. It just means that stores recieved huge shipments of them.

I was told today that I am not a true Christian because I wouldn't want to watch this movie atleast once every week. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing the tv evengelists are pimping this disc pretty hard? thats where this person always get their "ideas" from.

Maybe people will buy this just to have it, and maybe watch it once a year, at Easter or Christmas.

Again, I just can't understand why or how people would want to see this movie over and over again. I don't have the religious convictions, and I don't think I could endure it repeatedly.

Although the disc is barebones, the audio/video is exceptional.

Your theory hasn't had time to fully play out. In a lab you give experiments time to actually do something. It's tuesday morning/noon. You wont see sale numbers till the end of a few days. Target has piles because they are expecting it to sell well. Frankly they have different locations stocked with it on items that they know will sell.

Religious folks saw this film a couple of times. I don't understand it either, but it's a way to see their faith as proof or something. I think this well sell very well because those people don't really care about extra's and aren't all that much into dvds to begin with aslong as the film is there.

It will sell well.

I saw the film a couple of times. I'm not religious in the least. I don't believe Jesus was the Son of God. I don't believe he died for our sins. I don't think there's anything more selfish than thinking we as a human race have any concept of any of this shit and would like to think that matters of heaven and hell and how we were created are beyond our ability to comprehend. So why did I see it more than once?

(drumroll)

It's a good movie. Beautiful visuals. Terrific pacing. Good acting. Some unforgettable imagery. Excellent soundtrack. Emotionally powerful. It's well-made, plain and simple and Gibson's belief in the material is evident in every frame. So that pretty much shits on your adamant theory that only "religious folks saw it a couple of times". ALL KINDS of people saw it numerous times, not necessarily because it's religious or they themselves are religious but because THE FILM FLAT-OUT WORKS AS A FILM. Audiences tend to see good films more than once, whether it's about Jesus, Santa Clause, Communism, whatever and whether they believe in the film's message or not. Hey, what a concept.

These disks were selling in droves at my local Wal-Mart in Orlando, FL. More than half the people I saw walking around the store had a copy and the store was packed today for some reason. I guess since there is another Hurricane threatening. I didn't pick it up because I also don't see this having a whole lot of rewatchability. I haven't seen it yet, but I'll probably rent it in the next couple of weeks.

I disagree. Like someone else said, the store probably received huge shipments of this DVD.

I know for a fact that many many ppl who haven't gone to a movie in years went to see this. My parents, who've gone to like one other movie in the past 10 years, went to see this.

Billy Graham said something like this movie could touch the lives of ppl that it would normally take 20+ years of evangelism to do. Christians will have this to show to ppl that they're tryin' to tell about Christianity.

I myself will buy this just to tide myself over until the SE arrives which I will gladly double dip on.

I'm going to pick this one up eventually at blockbuster for 8 bucks...

yet another who has a space saved in the lake of fire.:lol:

I never knew how many crispy-critters were around here 'till this damn dvd was announced.:D

Im waiting... you know they cant resist a double dip.

I would think Gibson couldn't ignore selling a SE around Xmas and raking in perhaps more dough than at the box office.

I'll wait for the SE.

Confused
 

Is it my imagination?

This film is the biggie of the week, yet doesn't appear to be listed in the "Coming Soon"/"New Releases" list.

What gives?

INCREDIBLE DETAIL
 

Wow. The scene where Jesus dies which is about 1:52:00 into the movie you can actually see his right pupil dilate just like a real person dying. Incredible detail. A++++

A+++++

what is this? ebay?

Re: Confused
 

Feedback forum will tell you why. Please take off your tin foil hat.

*puts away the "No Pupil Dialation = No Sale" signs*

To answer the original question of the topic, yes there will be a better edition out later, possibly by Easter or Christmas of next year.

I think this will be included in the SE.

I liked the movie a lot and will likely buy the DVD because it is such a compelling story but I agree with Altimus that it is not one of those movies you watch repeatedly. (see other thread about most re-watched/non re-watched movies)

The SE is going to come with a free ticket to heaven.

LMAO!!!!!!
