Well, if they got 5,500 orders from their distributor, I guess that makes sense, but I bet that high number was solely because of its super limited nature. Now that it's 10,000, they may get a ton of returns from their distributor when thousands remain unsold as no one will be in a rush to buy it anymore. Seriously, are there really 10,000 fans of this film, and that will dish out $30 for the Blu and/or the DVD (and is the DVD version a separate 10,000?!?!) This may come back to bite them, but I wish them luck as I like their releases and want more.

Do they really have to sell in the first 30 days? I hate this expectation these days that everything has to sell now, now, now. Why can't there be some copies that don't sell out immediately so that a few months from now some fan that doesn't frequent this forum can actually find it if they are looking for it? Just because all 10,000 copies doesn't sell out during pre-order doesn't mean fans won't buy them over the next several months or a year. That's how it should be anyways. I hate when a title sells out as fast as it is released - it gives the casual blu-ray/movie fan no chance to even find out that it was released before it's too late.
