$45 say?.......Not sure they care that much

Why should they? There's a Collector's Edition for fans who don't feel like dropping the extra cash.

Good question. As zbinks stated, it's probably one of those three titles. Personally, I would think it's Halloween II, as it's, arguably, the most popular of the three.

At one point, when asked directly (I think it was on here, but it may have been an interview elsewhere), Cliff replied that They Live was 'probably' their biggest seller.

I remain hopeful that Scream Factory will announce they're releasing April Fool's Day on blu-ray.

That one too. I knew I was forgetting one.

Ah yes, that is a good candidate.
It would be interesting to know, say, Scream's top 5 sellers, to date.

Top five, I suspect, are the four mentioned, plus maybe The Howling or Day of the Dead at #5.

Wish they did this, would make everything better, like I know the 3000 unit is meant as a way not to lose money, but if they sell out like hotcakes, then push up the number.

I'm actually more curious what is the whole selling list like, like what is the Number One Best Seller and their Number One Worst Seller, like a list from best to worst, followed by the number of units sold (doesn't have to be precise, can be broad estimate), I think that will be so cool, see what is their Best Seller and what was there Worst.


P.S. Don't forget to vote at my polls, in place of just random speculating, Vote and we can make a top (thinking between 15-50) voted for movies for Scream to Release, maybe one of those titles would be the ones they announce at Comic Con , I'm a shameless promotor

Checking out your list, haven't Wolf Creek and The Innocents been announced recently? The first with the sequel, and the second from Criterion?

As I understood it, Lifeforce was more successful than either of those titles.

Wolf Creek hasn't been announced in the US, though The Innocents was announced by Criterion (as you said).

[Pete Rock]

Gotta give it up to Scream Factory. They didn't have to do this. If only Twilight Time would do this for Fright Night and The Blob.

Do what? The Blob has already been stated to have a 5000 print run, and Fright Night is being re-released in early 2015.

5,000 copies didn't last long for Nightbreed. I doubt it lasts long for The Blob and Fright Night as well. 10,000 copies would be more appropriate for both.

alright I'll remove The Innocents, Thank you for your help in making this list better

I think the Godzilla theory that dsman71 and others were speculating on for Comic Con might be out the window
Lionsgate is re-releasing Biollante / they picked up this and apparently the Hellrasier movies from Echo Bridge

Personally, I'm happy about this. As Much as I enjoy the occasional Godzilla film, I didn't want to see the line suddenly start going in that direction. With that said, I'm really curious about the Hellrasier set. It won't take much to make it better than whats already on the market as far as the solo releases go, but I really hope they were able to somehow get a hold of films 1-3 so that a complete collection can be issued. Use the film/extras from the anchor Bay Disk, and then re-do all the others. Films 2 - 4 Should get some decent new features and if possible the workprints as extras, Films 5 - 9 Could be barebones with maybe just a commentary or two (Particularly on part 6), and as long as each release gets its own disk, I'd be happy.

[demonknight]

A quick Amazon rundown shows that Lionsgate now has upcoming releases of:
Venom
Godzilla Vs. Biollante
From Dusk Till Dawn
The Dracula 2000 movies
The Hellraiser movies
The Halloween movies (?)
One of The Crow sequels
The Prophecy movies

I just hope and pray that Lionsgate simply doesn't re-release the putrid Echo Bridge discs. Yeah, the latter Hellraiser sequels probably don't warrant a grand release, but *some* upgrade would be appreciated.
