How well will the BBM DVD sell?
Fla_Tim:
I was reading another reaction to the Oscars on gaycitynews.com where the author said that he thought that the movie hit a wall early, and that people were now waiting for the DVD realease.
It seems to me that there might be -- A LOT -- of people who are curious about the film but feel sheepish going to the counter and buying a ticket -- not that the film has reaped so much critical acclaim.
How do you think it will do on the rental and DVD sale market?

Personally I think the sales and rentals will be even better than the box office, because as you said some people are embarrassed to see it in the theaters. Also, there are a lot of people who don't go out to movies, but rent them instead, and if they like them, they'll buy a copy. As for myself, I will be at WalMart at 11:30 pm on Apr 3. ;D Not giving it a chance to get sold out before I get there! :D

I'm with DonnaReed! First thing I'm doing on the 4th is going to the store. (Most likely I'll buy multiple copies so I don't give the only one I have away.)

You and me BOTH...."J". Just gave away my ONLY copy of BBM yesterday <short version...thank goodness> but....like YOU....I keep my Wyoming Stories right on my bedside table!!
I think the DVD is going to go 'over the top' as far as sales!! Jeeeeeez...I hope Ennis and Jack don't get all 'uppity' on us with all the bucks they're gonna make.
Love to all.....Nancy

It's going to be a little while yet before it's released in Australia, at least after June! :-\ I'll have to have a think about whether I'll order one from the states, I'll be able to get it sooner, but our PAL video format is superior to NTSC! ;)
