It's up to a $7.50 value, depending on your market that could be around 50% of the face value of one adult admission. I missed the days when the vouchers went up to $10.50.

True, but it still money off my ticket, and I'm going to see the movie period. And most GOOD blu rays are around 30 bucks, this package seems like a good 1 time buy.

Is the 7.50 free ticket counted as money toward's the film, cause I would hate to see TDK miss out on money when it can easily top all weekend records

I always buy my tickets online thru Fandango, so never get around to redeeming these vouchers. I want to see TDK opening night at midnight, so would have to make two trips to use it lol. Still I am not sure if I want the gift set or plain version.

It's not really free, you're subsidizing the cost by buying the gift set.

Studios partner with a third party agency like Hollywood Media, Inc. that manages and issues the vouchers and the studio buys them at a substantial savings and distributes them via the DVD/BD. The movie theater is reimbursed face value, and so using your $7.50 voucher will help TDK theatrical figures. It's a win-win for studios, since they pay a small premium and get to charge you more, which increases perceived value of the DVD/BD release, etc. It's why they do it so often, to get consumers to buy the new DVD with 2 seconds of new footage again and help ensure people will go see the movie.

does anyone have the back cover art yet?

BStecke · 05-13-2008, 11:01 PM

It's most likely going to be the same as the HD DVD.

The HD DVD release should have a Blu-ray logo instead of an HD DVD logo...

In all seriousness though, someone posted a link to the rear cover art of "V For Vendetta" and WB went out of there way to explain that only Profile 1.1 machines were capable of playing the IME feature... so I suspect that BB will also have a similar comment.

You also add in the addition of the "first 7 minutes" of "The Dark Knight", and the rear cover art should be even more different.

Similar layout though...

I dunno if i still want the gift box set... Convince me why i should buy it?

JRPritt · 05-14-2008, 09:36 PM

Hmm, the box set is down to $33.95. Looks more and more enticing every day...

Robert Siegel · 05-15-2008, 11:04 AM

Might pick up the gift set.

I am still kind of going back and forth about whether to buy the $18.95 plain version or the $33.95 set. I am going to go see Dark Knight so the $7.50 ticket can come off of the $33.95, but the extra nick knacks in the box are not really interesting to me.

So what it really comes down to is the packaging. If the packaging was going to be really special I would probably be willing to pay more for it. I like the way it looks, but I can't tell at all what it is made out of. Does anyone have any information on whether this is going to be a solidly put together box (like say the Rome TV Series boxes) or if it will just be the weak ass cardboard shell case?

BStecke · 05-17-2008, 01:30 AM

My impression from looking at it is that it's a box that will simply have the regular version, along with the knick knacks, inside of it, and will be disposable. That's what I see from looking at it.

PepeGameblouse · 05-17-2008, 08:01 PM

i'm gonna get the special edition because i'm huge on batman and it comes with a thumb drive with the bat signal on it. hehehe

Caligula · 05-18-2008, 09:41 PM
