With "Star Wars" coming out on 9/21, why would anyone else release DVD's on the date?

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!

And who's going to make them? You?
Sounds like a dictatorship to me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

_________ is the best thing since night baseball, which came only a few years after sliced bread became popular.

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.
