Spider-Man 3 falls short of Transformers on first day

And Transformers isn't believed to sell through the holidays?

Im looking foward to hearing more about the sale #, just for fun.

Everyone get ready for the Sony spin-zone. They haven't released numbers because PR is busy spinning.

Paramount didn't release Transformers numbers until the 26th, IIRC. That's six days after the end of release week. Why don't we give Sony the same time frame?

No kidding Jason. Wait till this post goes 3-4 pages long with people bashing Sony.

Dito that!

I have all day, and I'll be counting! HD DVD fanboy-nazis unite! LOL

Tim,

We both have all day, apparently. This is gonna be fun. And then next week with Disney (Ratatouille), the week after with both Paramount AND Sony (Shrek/Close Encounters)...and so on.

Some days I just wanna shake my head and give up on this instant news generation. Or the fanboys. Probably both.

Jason

honestly? So what? So what if the first day numbers are short and the first week numbers? We'll talk when the 12/31 numbers come out. What matters is who wins, not who is off to the best start.

"What matters is who wins" --Johnson316

And why exactly does it matter who wins? For PR bragging rights? Neither movie is really very good, and I doubt that either one is going to determine the course or outcome of the format war.

On the other hand, everbody likes to watch a good horse race, and this one seems as good as any for the fannies to enjoy. Besides, as the fannies get heated up, it'll give our official Fanboy Police something more to do, and we wouldn't want to leave them out of the discussion.

Who would that be?

You're right. I'm sorry. I should have referred to them by their official title: The Fearless Format Fanny Force.

"Capt. Timmy of the 4F." Sounds like an old-time radio serial.

yeah.. yeah.. "fanboys" will get excited and post several pages... then Tim will lead some of you guys to annoy them... same crap as usual.

i hope is funny. cause im not here at work trying to work.

I am at work . . . and known as the Office Clown. Imagine that!

Pic of my Fanboy Police Crew. That's me on the left:

tim,

what we now need is a picture of kim jong il from the same movie.

eddie

I'm so woan-wee:

I'm the one in the middle, scratching his butt.

I don't see this as massive news... Yeah Spiderman 3 and Transformers are massive releases but theres so many more titles on each format the will be selling to. It's fair to say that Sony should have more time to release some figures, its still only a couple of days. The article makes it sound that these 2 titles (1 from each format) could make a massively huge diference in the format war when its not the case at all. There are so many factors that will win this war and it's not going to be down to the sales of a title on each format.

notice the red surrounding kim jong il. even the dear leader supports hd dvd. (Y)

Ummm lets see Spider man 3 which is the same movie as 1 and 2 just repackaged or Transformers, a much more entertaining experience. Lets be realistic Transformers was just a much better movie = more sales.
