Well, there are no other big major studio releases this week coming up, other than TV season sets and such.
I for one am looking forward to La Dolce Vita and Battle of Algiers in addition to the Star Wars Trilogy. Great month for DVD! :up: |
Originally posted by Fok I guess its for those small group of folks who don't like star wars. I for one think that everyone should like star wars. And who's going to make them? You? Sounds like a dictatorship to me. :lol: |
I guess its for those small group of folks who don't like star wars. I for one think that everyone should like star wars. plus i don't want to give any more money to lucas. he's getting $10 for the ticket to the next one, but that's it. amazing how much dough he milked out of a couple of above average popcorn movies. |
Re: With "Star Wars" coming out on 9/21, why would anyone else release DVD's on the date?
To answer the original Question....
Let's see -- because not everyone is obsessed with Star Wars. I hope you weren't 100% serious when asking this question. :) Matt |
The Star Wars DVD's are going to bring people into the stores, increasing exposure to other new releases as they will most likely be stacked nearby.

Because some people could careless if Star Wars is released on DVD.

Mean Girls is a cute movie. I saw it on a flight from LA to NY

I liked Mean Girls also

SW will lure shoppers into stores, and these shoppers may pick up other new releases they see on the shelf near SW.

I doubt Star Wars will match the numbers put up by Passion of the Christ and I also expect Shrek 2 & Spidey 2 to be ahead of it for total sales at the end of the year.
Star Wars may be the biggest thing among net geeks, but Soccer moms strolling down the aisle of Stop&Shop want "new" movies. Not saying that Star Wars isn't going to sell a ton of copies, but I don't think it's going to be the big dvd event of the year. |

I mean I am sure there are decent releases, but who really is gonna notice this week? Not everyone is going ga-ga over Lucas' latest changed movies. I'll be interested in anything BUT Star Wars. I like Star Wars, but I don't need these DVDs. I've got the original "original trilogy" on VHS, and considering how infrequently I watch them, it's good enough. |

Originally posted by Tscott It was pretty careless that you corrected one mistake in that post but apparently couldn't care less about the other. (I only mention it since everyone else is already nit-picking.) :) |

It's simple counter-programming - it's the same reason that Paramount will release some movie like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" when Episode II is released in theaters. Not everyone wants to buy/see Star Wars.....which leads me to believe something is wrong with them. ;)
