Agreed Asa Butterfield Gave a powerful performance. It a shame it didn't receive the same opening success as The Hunger Games

What's the point of pre-ordering blu-rays? Has anyone actually gone into a store the day a high profile movie was released and not been able to find a copy? Same goes for online. You could literally pre-order the week it is coming out and receive a copy, so why preorder so early? I'm just curious because I see a lot of people doing this.

I find it odd also, for run of the mill titles like these. They press so many of them they are extremely abundant, and easily found. I can't say the same for other titles.

There really is no point, unless you don't have the time or hate going to brick and mortar stores, even then getting your shipment on release day is hit or miss. It's kind of fun to reserve something and have it to look forward to, but as far as stores running out of copies, I don't think that's the reason most ppl do it.

I do wish they'd announce the pre-order for Gravity, tho!

Amazon has a preorder price guarantee so the final you're charged at release is locked at the lowest amount it fluctuated to while you had it on order. That's a nice advantage.

BluProofie · 11-03-2013, 11:22 PM

I've always found this book laughable. Trailer looked bad, too.

Yep, exactly. I always receive mine from Amazon on release day. I have Amazon Prime.

BozQ · 01-03-2014, 02:55 AM

Anyone received an email from Amazon, with a pre-order update? It's telling me this Blu-ray will be delivered by 28 January.

A Sith Lord? · 01-03-2014, 03:00 AM

Day 1 buy for me, even though this movie will probably be $9.99 a month after it comes out. lol

BluProofie · 01-03-2014, 03:15 AM

I'd boycott this movie because of how horrible the book is and how laughable the film looks.

They sold the foreign rights to help increase the budget to $180 million, then saw the the film make barely $70 million in the US. Considering marketing is usually 50% of the budget, that means that New Line lost $200 million on the movie and didn't get a penny of its large overseas box office. While I'm sure the blowback from Catholics and religious folks didn't help, you can bet that if they had made money New Line may still be around as a more independent entity, or WB would be interested in moving forward, and additional films would have been made. See: Harry Potter and religious group negative reaction to the depiction of witchcraft. No one gave a crap about those complaints because WB raked in the dough.

Is artwork inside the Target steelbook?

Gray Wolf · 02-11-2014, 11:56 AM

is the digital copy just UV or is it also iTunes?

i was told by someone it was just UV but then there have been people selling the iTunes copy so I'm a bit puzzled

Back says "also includes iTunes"

Jumpman · 02-11-2014, 12:44 PM

Anyone looking to rid themselves of the digital copy for this flick?

Michaelpdelaney · 02-11-2014, 12:45 PM

Steelbook front (back is in post above). Very nice!

Jumpman · 02-11-2014, 12:45 PM
