Cdlove Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Following news that Avatar was setting a first-day sales record, the title has now become the fastest-selling home entertainment release in North American history, with the film selling a combined total of 6.7m DVDs and Blu-rays in just four days. James Cameron's sci-fi opus, symbolically released on April 22 - Earth Day - sold approximately 4m DVDs and 2.7m Blu-rays, grossing around $130m. It therefore smashes the Blu-ray record held by The Dark Knight, which took 18 months to sell 2.5m copies (although it should be noted that the platform had much less market penetration at the time). That's on top of Avatar's $2.7 billion cinematic gross which made it the most successful film in history. And with the film hitting shelves outside the US today and also receiving a theatrical re-release in the summer, it looks like the title will continue to generate cash throughout 2010.It's only an OKAY movie, why does it get so much money and attention?

Stiff Competition Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I went to the Hollywood Premiere of A Nightmare on Elm Street last night. It was AMAZING...and this is coming from a huge fan of the originals. Jackie Earle Haley was absolutely fanatstic. It is different enough from the originals(thugh follows the same story for the most part) but still SO "Freddy" if that makes sense. I didn't expect to like it so much, can't wait to see it a couple more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nowhere Boy - i really liked it but i'm a John Lennon obssessive so there ya go. Not at all accurate but well made and sentimental in all the right ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Moon Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 i watched "the boat that rocked" last night, aka "pirate radio" in the US. reviews were bad and it was a commercial flop but i loved it? i think the biggest criticism was its length and i agree, it was 2:08 and the last 30 minutes or so i was getting really ansy, but the length aside, i loved it. it was fun, funny, and a few different plot lines that i really enjoyed. i felt like it had 3 or 4 climaxes. it seemed a bit schizophrenic at times but worse things have happened. favorite part had to be the stag scene. gavin really knows how to strut.

Angelica Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Iron Man 2 is mostly fun. It's certainly doesn't rank along side Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Spider-man 2, Evil Dead 2 etc in the Sequels Hall of Fame, but it's...fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprised there was no mention of Godfather 2 or Terminator 2. or Ghostbusters 2.I've yet to still see the first Iron Man, it really isn't jumping out at me as a must watch film, although I have it on DVD.Currently watching Harry Brown, about an hour into it. It's good. Not quite Gran Torino, but almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
