Friday the 13th blu has disappeared from Amazon - Blu-ray Forum

yojoeski · 03-02-2009, 11:20 PM

What the hell? Has it been discontinued or is this perhaps preparations for the supposed upcoming 8 movie blu ray set that's supposed to come out in the fall?

Hmmmmmmm....I don't know why. I know Best Buy still has it listed.

I remember reading something about TCM selling out of the first pressing of discs, and it might be a while before the stores get more. The studio made a relatively small amount of BDs for the first run.

Yeah I bet they just sold out. They probably underestimated how many horror fans are out there,

To me this is a great sign for horror fans like me. To have a horror movie sell out at retailers gives me hope for some other great horror movies from the '08s.

I bet the "remake" won't have this problem.

Blu Myers · 03-03-2009, 05:06 AM

I'm glad I got my order in. I ordered it for 17.49 in Feb. Still haven't received it yet...slow mail.

kosvines · 03-03-2009, 02:03 PM

As already said, they probably underestimated sales. There was a sales chart in last weeks Home Media Magazine, and I was suprised to see how high up this BD was.

Well I bet the Remake(which I personally liked allot) will have more discs pressed. I am sure Amazon just underestimated demand. I have still seen this disc at Best Buy, Target, and Newbury comics.

Agree. I have seen some Paramount titles out of stock in Amazon, and this appears to be a case of demand exceeding Amazon's supply.

Being a day-and-date release, plenty of copies will be made. So of course it won't have that problem.

omosh · 03-03-2009, 03:56 PM

check wal-mart man, there bound to at least have a few but then again i found the last one of them at my local wal-mart the other night.

yojoeski · 03-03-2009, 04:29 PM

Really, I don't intend to buy since we supposedly have the box set coming out later this year, I just thought it was unusual that the thing just vanished off of Amazon completely.

As for the remake, it should not even come to blu-ray period. I went and saw this in theatres opening day. I have to be honest, it may well be the single worst movie I have ever seen. The only 2 movies I can think of that are close to being that bad are Big Fish and O Brother Where Art Thou.

I must say that you have a very lame movie taste.

goodluckchuck · 03-03-2009, 05:41 PM

Yea... I liked Big Fish, it was a nice movie. The Friday remake was not even worta download.

paperthrower2000 · 03-03-2009, 06:24 PM

I agree with you. I thought this remake was pretty good for what it was and I thought Big Fish was a great movie. On the flip side though everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

True, true, however, I personally (and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here) don't understand why people go into threads to comment on movies that they don't like. I understand if someone is asking for reviews, but otherwise, why bother? I don't bother reading about movies I don't like, if I wasted the time to see the movie in the first place, I don't see myself devoting more time to it to express an opinion that wasn't solicited for...
