The B&M's have limited shelf space and they dedicate the space to titles they know will sell more, namely new releases and large catalog titles like Pirates of The Caribbean and The Bourne Identity. There was a hard number listing for HDM sales a few months ago which showed some catalog titles only sold a few hundred copies, so they don't want titles like those clogging up space.
