Quarks 3rd for first week DVD sales

[Omega]

QOS is well on its way to being in the bargain bins, if it isn't already!

Then it'll be in its natural habitat, along with all those crappy straight-to-DVD action movies starring former WWE wrestlers.

BURN!!!

Ouch!Well, it's it's true! I think QOS has been cut price(especially at Target) from the get-go!

The Wolverine slashes Craig's Quark.
the debut of Weaopn X's solo outing sold around 3 million its first week on dvd. On Blu-ray it sold around 750k copies.
Keep in mind that X-MEN Origins:Wolverine had a Domestic BO of: $180m and Foreign BO of $184M

*waits for the pro-Craigs to try and put some sort of positive spin on that*

No need to spin it.
As hard as you try you can't polish $h!t. That goes for both films.
Both QOS and Wolverine were on the whole...cr@p.

[katied]

I don't see Wolverine being sold at bargain basement prices-like QOS has!

Year end eiditon.
No question Craig has driven the Bond Brand backwards in great big steps.

Ouch. Do they count all the multiple copies of QOS bought by Bond nerds for their "collections",I wonder?

[oscartheman]

It sold fewer DVDs than Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure

I was almost going to say 3 million was respectable looking at the competition I can't bring myself to do it

[katied]

The sales figures don't lie...as much as the pro-Craigs try to tell you than selling a certain amount of videos-even if it takes 3 months!

[Mazer Rackham]

Almost there, HP bumped Taken to 12 and quark to 24 for the 2009 year. If were weren't using the public list it would look a little bit different. Pinocchio would easily overtake Quark. But things are as they are so lets just go with what we got.

Sad. Even flops like Bedtime Stories and GI Joe are ahead of QoS.

Ouch. Bedtime Stories wasn't bad.My nephews who were 12,11 and 8 at the time they saw it liked it.

Yeah, but it didn't do very well at the box office, as I recall.

[Mazer Rackham]

Quark slides to 25 with The Hangover 3.9m debuting at #15 for the year. The robust December sales show a good deal of shifting in the ranks. I have a few thoughts to add next week when I can update the list for 2009 years in toto.

I mentioned the Tinkerbell movie earlier, but I only just noticed that it outsold Pinocchio too. Kids of today, no taste where Disney is concerned.

[Mazer Rackham]

I thought Pinocchio's performance was nothing short of amazing: it is a 1940 movie, with four previous video releases, a total of three DVD releases, and one Blu-ray. The fact that it could sell 2.6m more copies and take on Quark a major Hollywood franchise to boot is great.

All that, *without* any sort of gimmick! *cough*shakycam*cough*
