Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=4718
Knowing Lionsgate, we'll get a 7.1 DTS-HD soundtrack, which will rule on this. My favorite movie of 2010 (so far). Probably just going to pre-order this one. |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
I'll definitely be picking this up. I missed this in theaters so it'll be a blind buy for me, but I'm certain I'll like it.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
That cover's kinda lame, but I'll get it.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Another Birthday Blu-Ray for me!

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Avatars influence of packing in a DVD has worked.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Awesome flick and actually a pretty cool cover IMO :thumbsup:

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
I liked this one enough to pick it up. I feel like it'll grow on me a little more after a few more watches.
:thumbsup: to the included DVD with the BD |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Definitely getting this on Day 1

You don't think the fact that Warner and Disney (and even Fox with a couple of titles) were doing that for some time before Avatar had an effect?
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Will pick this up provided its around $20. If its one of these $25+ releases I can wait.

No. Please see Avatars marketshare. The included DVD worked for Fox.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
^ Not to mention does anyone really think the disc (Avatar) wouldn't have sold so well regardless of the included DVD?? The highest grossing movie ever wasn't going to sell a ton of media?
Do people suspect that the BD sold so well because people were planning on upgrading to BD down the road and picked up the BD + DVD to future proof?? |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
I kinda like the cover. Gonna pick it up day 1.

Yeah, but I imagine a ton of people bought the Disney discs.
(I am obviously excluding some of the MGM catalog titles as they typically toss in a DVD because they refuse to re-encode a 3 year old Blu-ray with a menu to add in special features on the BD disc). |

Disney has been including DVDs randomly for the past year. Universal, Fox and Sony only do so with kid movies (and some retailer exclusives from Target). Warner only since the start of 2010. Avatar the first time Fox has included a DVD in a non-kids film. And while we all know Avatar's BD sales would be high, that likely pushed other studios to start adding in DVD copies to just about all new Day and Dates as retailers would be more likely to order more copies of the more expensive BD release to stock vs. DVD. This is the first time EVER Lionsgate has included a DVD copy with any Blu-ray. Avatar will likely push other studios to do the same (and if the price is right, I don't care. Just don't gouge us).

Adventureland Beverly Hills Chihuahua Confessions Of A Shopaholic Doubt Extract The Proposal Swingvote All Blu-ray only (some had a DC). FYI Beverly Hills was right before they started doing DVDs with kid movies. Look at the pathetic 40 or so (how many double-dips or boxsets?

Kids movie with a DVD Princess and the Frog? Kids movie with a DVD Alice in Wonderland? Kids movie with a DVD Surrogates? Not a kids movie and NO DVD When in Rome? Not a kids movie and NO DVD And that's 2010 for Disney. It's June, and wow...they release next to nothing on the format. |

Sweet, release day purchase for me.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
....cuz they're made w/ the intent of children watching it? Just a guess....

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Gizmo, I said Walt Disney Pictures.
I wasn't aware that Hollywood, Touchstone and Miramax were all releasing films under the Walt Disney Pictures banner now. Wow, Buena Vista must be going under some tough times. |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Awesome. Day one purchase for me.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Awesome film and pretty cool cover IMO :)

But fine, go with WALT DISNEY PICTURES, it still holds true. Only kid films and animated films get a DVD, the rest get (at best) a DC. That's how all studios have been moving towards since parents need a push to get the Blu-ray that is generally only going to be watched by children. A bonus DVD is that push. We are not getting into non-kid films that include a DVD, and the first one of that kind (aside from Warner) was Avatar from Fox. And now look - Lionsgates first Blu-ray to include a DVD was announced only a few weeks after Avatar made it's huge debut on Blu-ray (with a bonus DVD). http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php Which one is a WALT DISNEY FILM that was Day and Date that included a DVD and was NOT A Kids/Animated film? Go through all 25 odd D&D releases from 2009/2010 and point them out please. |

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Has anyone ever gotten those BD Phone apps to work? I've tried on a few BDP Players and only one worked (for a few minutes).

Avatar may have just assured that every title from now on is going to do it (was there even a stand-alone DVD release of Avatar or only the combo?) but I don't think we can chalk it entirely up to Avatar without giving props to Disney (I mean, I'm all about the DVD vs. Digital Copy, or at least the DVD/Digital Copy Disc, and I didn't even buy Avatar). |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
I dug this movie, though I did think it was slightly underwhelming based on all the pre-release hype I'd been reading. Still, I'll likely pick up this set. FWIW, I dig the cover art.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Looking forward to it. Had a great time at the theater with this one. :up:
Wouldn't at all be surprised to see some exclusive artwork at Best Buy or Target, especially with all of the character posters they designed. And, if they do, this one will probably be the big seller: <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/kick-ass poster/cinespacio/Posters/kick_ass_poster_06-535x305.jpg?o=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac263/cinespacio/Posters/kick_ass_poster_06-535x305.jpg" border="0"></a> |
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
This one never made its way to theaters around here, but I'm fairly sure I'd like it so I'll probably blind buy it when its out.
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
:up: day one purchase for me!
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
I loved the way Cage portrayed his character. Total Adam West homage.
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Awesome movie. Definitely picking it up eventually. I like that included DVDs are becoming the norm.
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Hoping we'll see some discussion about this release at comic con... hopefully Lionsgate will offer a comic con exclusive early sale of this.
|
Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
Day one here as well.
