I see The Last Winter on that list. Not only does Netflix have that... they even have it as an Instant Viewing option.

Yeah, I think the word "exclusive" in this context is pretty much meaningless...

this thread is pretty funny.
no one seems to be following what anyone else is saying.

bbv has exclusive rental rights meaning they are they only rental outlet that will get the dvds directly from weinstein(genius).
any other store that wants to rent these will have to actually go to a retail store and buy it.
As netflix has done for some titles and some Hollywood also.
For last winter being on instant viewing, I have no answer for that.

btw that wacky wobbler is not a bbv exclusive, only the lenticular art is the exclusive.

Only have these two:
Death Proof - "The hot rods of Death Proof" footage
Planet Terror - "Double dose interview w/ the Director & Cast of Grindhouse" footage

I believe usually the ones that have bonus content indicates on the front cover..

Other Blockbuster exclusives titles that have exclusive content that I have are:

The Nanny Diaries
Arthur and the Invisibles
The Ex
You Kill Me
DOA: Dead or Alive

Later

Michael Corvin

I'm curious about that as well, especially a BD version.

WMAangel

No...the BBV "exclusive rental" is only one disc....it does not have the Popcorn Porn documentary, the Money Shots Webisodes, or the Comic-Con 2008 footage...it does have the deleted scenes, the bloopers/outtakes reel, and both parts of the Seth Vs Justin improv (the second part being the only BB exclusive, it is just an additional 6 minutes)....

SLASHFACE

Battle In Seattle, which is a BBV exclusive, is now available for rent. Purchase date for amazon is March 10. JCVD is at BBV on 2-24...Amazon 4-28. Other exclusives are not even listed on Amazon... So believe what you want.

Trevor

There are at least 25 titles where Blockbuster has exclusive content on the discs.

I don't currently have a list or easy access to them (spread throughout dozens of boxes and thousands of exclusives), but will try to soon add some new ones to the lists already provided.

Michael Corvin

That's weak, although with the second half only being 6 minutes I have a feeling we'll be seeing it on YouTube.

OldBoy

thanks WM looks like i am content then.

LosingMyMind

Please do! I've wanted to compile a comprehensive list of all titles for awhile.

CreativeMind09

At first I thought these might have been straight to DVD releases but then saw that there are some good titles.

Trevor

Still haven't found my box of BBV exclusives, but here are a few I saw in store today.

Soul Men
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Death Defying Acts

I reviewed this one: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/36375...ter-exclusive/

You are all correct that the Weinstein titles are rental exclusives, not retail. This means that any other rental store (or Netflix) can buy them online or from a big box store and throw them on their shelf BUT they cannot get them from their regular distributors or have revenue sharing deals for them like they have with most other studios.

The BB rental versions of most of the Weinstein titles do add some silly bonus features, but sometimes they are also downgraded ("I'm Not There" was a 2-disc set at retail, the BB version only contained the 1st disc).

I guess they learned their lesson about exclusivity because when they signed their deal with IFC, they made is so they get the movies at least 60 days prior to a retail release. The only time that this has not been the case was with a few IFC/Red Envelope (netflix) co-productions like "Love Songs" and "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days". Those were available at Netflix and Blockbusters in advance of a regular retail release.

The thing I find odd about the IFC deal is that casual renters are not going to have any idea what these movies are. Even less so because they are not available in any other stores for 2 months and there is no advertising around their release. I love indie films and try to keep up with the IFC titles, but I have yet to find out how to see a schedule of when these titles hit Blockbuster in advance.

Occasionally there are other titles that get branded as Blockbuster exclusives and I am not totally sure how they end up there. Most recently, they got the excellent French thriller "Roman De Gare", which did decent art-house biz last year for Samuel Goldwyn. That movie had nothing to do with Weinstein or IFC, and yet it is available right now at Blockbuster and there is no retail disc yet.

exclusives suck

whotony

That was well thought out and very enlightening, thank you for adding that to the topic.

tylergfoster

Is that the one about the guy trying to solve a murder with Alzheimers in a rest home? I almost rented that and reviewed it too, if it really is exclusive to Blockbuster I might go back and do it.

Here are Some of WWE Home Video PPV DVD's Exclusive to Blockbuster during 2007

Trevor

The Reader - exclusive deleted scenes

Giles

given the latest news that the Weinstein Co. is not doing that well financially, it might behoeve them to let other chains actually rent their videos out, for the record there isn't a single Blockbuster near me to rent from.

MR Round

And Blockbuster has Che parts one and two right now exclusively

The Monkees

Blockbuster isn't doing well either, so I guess they go together great!

Does anybody know what is going on in terms of regular retail releases for all of this year's IFC/Blockbuster exclusive titles?

I was looking to buy a copy of "My Winnipeg" and "The Last Mistress." Originally, the Blockbuster pact was supposed to give them 90-days exclusivity, but "My Winnipeg" hit their stores last October and has yet to be given a retail release.

I've now read online that IFC's distribution deal ended and that MPI is picking up distribution for them (effective this month, I believe). Blockbuster will still have rental exclusives apparently.

I am curious if all these titles (which also include Madonna's "Filth And Wisdom", "A Christmas Tale" and "A Girl Cut In Two") will get their retail releases through the MPI distro deal or if they are just going to be lost, only with ex-rental copies floating out there and never getting a proper release. Anybody know the story?

SLASHFACE

Not sure what the deal is. Finally found a used copy of Last Mistress a few weeks ago at a BBV. Its not listed for retail on any sites that I have visited.

I was slightly disappointed after buying a previously viewed copy of Taken from Blockbuster a few weeks ago and realizing the "Blockbuster Exclusive" version only includes the PG-13 version and not the extended cut...
