Default Did blockbuster movies do away with store exclusive disc features?

I remember when it was the norm for a Target edition to come with 2 or 3 more features than the same version at Walmart.

Now? The cover art is the only difference. Thor, Captain America, etc. All the same bluray version (2d and 3d) just in different packaging...

I guess its a good thing since I don't have to hunt down the best version anymore.

But what do you think happened?

This is correct, which is why all of their franchise stores closed and all that's left are some of their corporate stores.

While the OP's title was very misleading you guys read it completely wrong. The OP was asking why blockbuster movies (major hits, high grossing) seem to come with no extra features as store exclusives anymore. As for the Op's question Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides just came out with an extra blu of features exclusive to best buy.
