DVD Releases for February 28, 2006

February 27th, 2006

It's a deceptively slow week; while there are plenty of releases, many of them are totally unnoteworthy and that makes finding the exceptions harder to find. There are some really stellar releases including this week's DVD Pick of the Week, NewsRadio - The Complete Third Season - Buy from Amazon, while both Controversial Classics - Volume 2 - The Power of Media - Buy from Amazon and The Ice Harvest - Buy from Amazon earn honorable mentions.

People Talking about Untold Story

August 30th, 2005

Word of mouth is obviously helped The Untold Story of Emmett Till since it saw its weekend Per Theatre average climb to $12,290, up from $8,695 last weekend. It was also the only film to reach the $10,000 mark during a weekend that saw three films open with per theatre averages below $1,000. More...

Empty Clubhouse

August 23rd, 2005

No film was able to make it into the $10,000 club over the weekend, The Untold Story of Emmett Till came the closest with $13,165 since Wednesday, but only $8,695 of that was earned over the weekend. That was still enough to lead the Per Theatre Charts ahead of the re-release of Elevator to the Gallows and the overall box office leader, The 40-Year Old Virgin, which earned averages of $7,596 and $7,530 respectively.
