Has any TT title thread not turned into a buncha *****in' about TT? Will one ever not turn into this?

Yeah, some have, in threads for the titles that most of us don't care about.

Fortunately, I bought my copy in the first run of 3000, but now that the next run of 5000 is already gone, it just goes to show the sad state Blu-ray is in when an obviously popular title still sells out and the studios don't get it.

it's more like Sony.. they've all but abandoned catalogs in the u.s. since they are HURTING for money (Sony U.S. that is)... if it isn't a 100% guaranteed instant profit maker they're literally not going for it

this release was also on the 1st page for at least a month.

I agree, the real hate seems to come when there is a quick sellout.

I honestly feel a lot of the business/financial posts should either be moved into the T.T. thread proper, considering they're more about that company than this flick/disc, or perhaps there should be a dedicated thread about it (for T.T. specifically or maybe prices of Blus generally?). Sure, in these pre-order threads there's naturally a conversation lull (in regards to films themselves, their specs, etc) after said pre-order but before their release, but even so, this isn't really about Fright Night itself, and if the opinions were more-or-less contained rather than spread throughout the forum surely that'd be better for all concerned.

There waz a new thread made for it recently (titled something like "$35 for a limited release? no thanks!"). It got locked and deleted saying "this is already being discussed in other threads," so the discussion came back here

[The Peanut Monkey]

Oh, that's too bad. The title (if accurate) probably wasn't very helpful, but if that's the general consensus of those in charge there's not much we can do, then.

Whoa so your saying your order was cancelled first day of order on Screen Archives and you ordered early? You may want to contact them and ask what happened because that's really odd.

Ypu should. Maybe there was an issue with your card or something.

Or maybe he tried to cheat the system and have more than 3 copies delivered to his home. Say what you will about Walt and the Code Red style of business, he certainly has no love for scalpers and goes out of his way to make it tough on anyone trying to scalp his releases. Something that Twilight Time could learn a thing or two from.

For the first 7 days orders should be limited to one per address. After the 7 day window, if any copies are left open up the orders to 3 per address. After a month, unlimited per address. We all know these horror titles will sell out in under a month anyways, so there's no need to worry that they wouldn't be able to sell the aloted 3-5k.

A glitch on thenumbers puts This is Where I Leave You's first week sales at 2,822.

If it is true, then once again, for a lot of these titles they are worthless if a 2014 major studio release cannot sell more than 3k in its first week.

edit: Woody Allen's Magic in the Moonlight is at 2,002 copies.

I say glitch because it shows all "new" releases for the date but they would otherwise not be able to be seen due to them being so low in the chart.

[Dr.Awkward]

The release date & time was known quite a while ago, so there was plenty of notice. It was not very difficult at all to set a reminder on a calendar to log in at the specific time that they go on sale and place an order. I really don't understand the anger over something that was available for 24+ hours.

If you wanted it bad enough, you had plenty of time to prepare. If you didn't prepare and weren't able to order, then lesson learned for the next time. Especially if you missed out on the first Fright Night and/or Christine, then failed again on this one.

It's not hard to place an order for anything within a few hours of when it goes on sale. All it takes is a little bit of planning. It doesn't matter if the limit was 1, 3, or 10 per order.

Walt?

[Whirlygig]

I just want to know how many jerks who already own the first release just had to buy a copy of this too. So that I can fart in their general direction.
