how many copies did paramount claim to have sold, or how many copies did they actually sell?

there's a huge (and very laughable) difference between the two.

I believe Homemedia had just over 65k units registered sold among its reporting retailers. This number was then crunched in comparisson to marketshares and ended up in an estimated 115k units sold by all retailers (Wallmart included in the estimated number by marketshare).

You should find the numbers somewhere on the forum if you dig a bit.

Yea, I guess we will never know for sure. Amazing and quite obvious that if discrepancies of sales numbers touted by Paramount is going on, that can only mean one thing. If they are falsifying sales numbers, they are lying and that can only indicate embarrasment, deceit, defensiveness and many other negative qualities in a company that I for one do not have any desire to give penny one to.

Great numbers for the standalone Spider-Man 3, I'm sure a LOT of people got the trilogy instead.. like ME.

Thats a very good question. I picked up the box set as well. I'll bet many others did as well. Can't wait to see those sales numbers.

If they are falsifying sales numbers and are a publicly traded company, I believe that is illegal(any lawyers present?) and the SEC may want to talk to them.

Toshiba doesn't falsify numbers. They spin them out such as saying the "shipped" 190,000 units. Shipped does not mean sold though.

I hope these numbers are close to accurate. How awesome it is if a not-so-greatly-reviewed film can beat Transformers!

Well, I will get called a troll. even tho I dont own a single dud, so I will say it anyway.

While a great number for HiDef, for blu ray I am disapointed. With the amount of BD player's out in the world, this is all it could sell? Only that much more than transformers? It seems BD has fell victim to the dreaded attach rate garbage again. I just dont understand J6P, hello, your PS3 has a BD player!!!

I do appreciate Sony not lying like Paramount. It is what it is.

[mystiksuicide]

Let's hope those numbers are accurate but if they are. lol What a laugh that will be to the Paramount HD DUD crowd.

What would be hilarious if Ratatatouille also beat Transformers

[WickyWoo]

These numbers are accurate. The reason why they're so late is that they don't want the HDers being able to challenge them after the TF beatdown
