Its a 3-disc steelbook, embossed/debossed, premium finish 4k print run. Isnt this everything we look for? I think the hype is justified

Not to mention it contains a classic film too!

 

[apsmith21]

Gotta be some kind of record. Sold out faster than ironman, watchmen, and the raid all combined and i know it cant just be because of the film itself.

Correction: it didn't sell out faster than Iron Man.

So everyone here has ordered more than 1 copy which would not have been the case for Iron Man or Terminator.

Far from it, my friend. I expect multiple quantities have been ordered on all these releases but some just get ordered faster and therefore go OOS quicker.

Iron Man sold out even quicker and even Terminator would have gone OOS sooner but Play increased the run to 5k.

Oldboy might not be as quick but I reckon it won't be around for much more than a couple of weeks at the most before going OOS. Lot's of hype at the moment will add to this. Plus it is awesome!

Knew this would sell out quickly but not this quickly. Amazing. Glad I ordered a second copy to be on the safe side.

 

[SYKES]

You have to be joking! Glad I ordered my copies.

When did the listing go up?

no doubt this is a great steelbook release, with no corners cut () & a popular cult movie, but this performance seems a little too good, dont you think?

At the very least i think this will come back in stock, on & off right up to release day, sort of like IM2 did but in larger quantities.

Battle Royal is just too underground to perform nearly as well as Iorn Man IMO

Does seem weird that a cult Japanese movie sold out nearly as quickly as a Hollywood action blockbuster, but maybe it's recent releases like Iron Man and Avengers that have made steelbooks a slightly more mainstream thing so more people are buying them?

Although 4k copies in about 8 days is still amazing for a title like this.

maybe its cuz of hunger games that more people have heard of battle royale as its been compared to it even though it was released first yrs ago, plus a lot of people knew about it anyway.

 

[Antman]

I suspect the fact that the eBayers have been making £40 odd from the likes of The Raid, Terminator, Iron Man 2 and even more from Iron Man might have something to do with it?!!!

Popularity of Hunger Games could well have something to do with it, but there's no way more of the Western audience have even heard of Battle Royale. Sad but true.

yeah I agree more people have heard of hunger games but i'm sure its release has been good for battle royale as much more people will now be aware that it actually exists and is a much better movie .

 

[Pickersmadrid]

I love battle royale.

**** the hunger games! I personally think the hunger games is just another Twilight.

I thought hunger games took a while to get going and it was too tame but overall I enjoyed the movie but not in the same league as battle royale, I haven't watched twilight and never would lol but I have heard a few people saying its just like another twilight.

They would have done the same with mine.....

Terrible movie in my opinion. Just another franchise to make money with.

I'm glad I can show my girlfriend battle royale she is American and I don't think the movie its
Known out there

I think Iron Man sold out in 7 days and this was 8 days
