DVD Sales Predictions

Well,

7.8 million first day for me . . .

 

11,380,000

EDIT: on 1st day

 

crispy I am glad you did it!


10 million and 1 copies sold, first day!

 

First day, or week?

Ok.

 

Darth Crispy and Darth Muffins....

Those names are food for thought.

I'd go with 15.8 Million

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

I say 11,012,005 copies sold on day 1.

 

its not going to see as much as batman begins

 

heeeeeeeeeeeeey

nice thread , cool......

well it will be AWESOME if ROTS break NEMO opening day record, wich was 8mil copies...
but 10mil will be FREAKING SUPER COOL

Marek

 

Yeah 4 million in its first seven days is a tough number to beat.

 

its not going to see as much as batman begins
===============================================

hmm no ? anything to back up your statement ?

Marek

 

just imagine if people will do some crazy stuff like openig BOX OFFICE DAY 50mil $
so if ROTS will sell 10mil copies first day, it will make 150-200mil $ day
(I am not sure what is average price of ROTS DVD in states....)

Marek

 

I just thought of a good tag line:

"Batman begins at home..."

Maybe that would have increased the sales of that awful movie.

Anyway, ROTS will break records again.

Agreed?!

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

episode 2 only did 8 million and that was the whole run

http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/Video-Sales.php?y=2002&type=3

 

yes and those numbers are from 2002, so now its more like 9mil copies...

important info,

in 2002 number of desktop players was 43.9

sales in millions
FOTR 12 - 257.3 mil$
Spiderman 12.2 - 215.3
Monsters 11.8 - 202
HP1 - 9.1 - 166.7
AOTC - 8.1 - 144.8

we have now year 2005 !! with so far 95.6 mil players
so we have two times MORE DVD PLAYERS around....

and BATMAN BEGINS was not able to top MONSTERS opening day with double avaible players...

opening day records...

1. Finding NEMO 8 mil DVD's
2. Spiderman 7 mil DVD's
3. HP 1 6mil DVD's
4. HP 3 6 mil DVD's
5. Monsters Inc. 5mil


last year SW OT trillogy made 115mil openig day WORLDWIDE with battlefront game
sold almost 6mil copies = 273mil $

AOTC did more than 3mil copies in 2002 opening week, TPM did 2.2 mil copies in 2001 with 26.8mil players avaible..

and you are telling us that ROTS will not BEAT 4mil copies in first week of BATMAN ? you are kidding right ?

Not to mention the fact that Lucas puts out videos and DVD in LIMITED runs. Attack of the Clones was unavailable for about two years until this past spring.

Let's not also forget that ROTS nearly DOUBLED UP Batman in the BO.

 

i just dont see it breaking any records episode 1 and 2 didnt so i dont see why 3 would

 

Because '3' was better than '1' and '2'.

 

ya but episode 1 made more then both of them

 

Oh, so Batman Begins' 4 million in one week is a record.
You said it wouldn't see as much as Batman, not break records. I said 7.8 million first day, which isn't a record.

You were around in the BO thread talking about Batman until it came out. So I'm guessing you'll disappear come Wednesday.

 

i just dont see it breaking any records episode 1 and 2 didnt so i dont see why 3 would
======================================================

check internet FIRST, here are few links about records......

TPM did set a new record for DVD sales in America in its first weeks of release, of course it was in time where each next big movie broke a record.... with GROWING SALES OF DVD players.

============================================================
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/1617965.stm
The film was released in the US and UK on 15 October and also went to number one on the UK DVD sales chart.

Its sales in America - worth $45m (£32m) - beat the previous record of two million sales in one week, set by The Mummy Returns just two weeks ago.

"This stellar sales performance is even more impressive given that it is nearly three years after its theatrical release and 18 months after its VHS release," Lucasfilm executive Jim Ward told Variety magazine.

Star Wars Phantom Menace Breaks DVD Sales Record
Beating the mark set a mere two weeks ago by The Mummy Returns, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace sold more copies on DVD than any other DVD ever. Star Wars junkies gobbled up 2.2 million copies of The Phantom Menace in its first week on store shelves.
============================================================


few notes about EP1, first, it sold more than 10mil of VHS copies, because there were no WORDS when DVD will be released......

at those times........ first bigger record was with THE MUMMY - 2.0 mil copies first week,
week or two later it was broke by TPM with 2.2mil copies...

Marek

 

well MArek the average price for dvds in the Us would be around 17 dollars, I'll say, I don't base this on hard facts just on prices i hvae seen and I used to work in a movie store. Oh and ROTS is the last Star Wars movie so that may well factor into it's sales. If it were released on VHS I'd buy it too, just like every other Star Wars movie (with exception to the ewok adventure movies)

 

thanx for info halfwits-r-us

come one you have to pick one for yourself

Marek

 

There is apparently a great shortage of the Batman Begins Deluxe editions, while you can find the bare bones Batman Begins DVD out the wazoo.
I knew I should have gotten it on the first release day. I will with EP3, I'll be there at midnight.

 

Here goes:

I predict...


...that I'll buy it.

 

always the funny guy arent you leias ??
