I thought that was weird at the time and now that you say someone tried to get you to buy it, it seems even weirder. Didn't King Kong come out last week?

Yes Kong came out last week and broke Universal's records with 6.5 million in its first week.....920k DVDs per day (average)....
However then Brokeback comes along (also a Universal release) and sells 1.4 million in its first DAY!
Hmmm....wouldn't be surprised if Kong doesn't hold that record for too long.....

sounds like a very good week for Universal, who is doing distribution for both films.
so at minimum $17 a copy, BBM pulled in $24 million yesterday.

Yep....Universal pulled in $100 million in 1 week for Kong...
Sounds like BBM is gonna break MORE records if you ask me...

They've been playing the same ad combo here on San Jose's Country Western station 95.3 on EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK. I feel so good when I hear it. An ad for BBM on our Country Western station!!!

I wonder if Universal just decided to buy the ad times as a package deal.
"We take two ad times, but give us a deal on them."

Tilda may be madly stylish, but Narnia actually does "have an agenda." As Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook) says in 'All The President's Men': "Follow the money."
And I ain't foolin'.

I'm with you and Brandon, too, John. Hiss, indeed. I'll add in a meow (and not the good kind) as well.
On the brighter side, I'm lmao about Crash: The Director's Cut not even making the Top 25. Wooooooooooeeee!
