Is this only being released in HMV's in the UK or will it be released in HMV throughout europe?

It looks like these HMV Steelbooks are UK exclusives anymore. As this isn't available to order directly from HMV.ie only the regular Blu Ray. (Wolverine 3D was the last HMV exclusive available to order online)

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Hard to tell whether this is going to fly off the shelves...Riddick was sold out in London in less than a week but has more of a cult status...Anyways, I'm not taking any chances

Entertainment One are probably the best Steelbook distributor in the UK at the moment. Not only are their Steelbooks top quality, but they are also reasonably priced which can't be said for the majority of distributors. I really hope they continue their partnership with HMV because they are on to a good thing. Let's just hope the next title is 12 Years a Slave and not Delivery Man or That Awkward Moment

This only made 2m more then its budget...strange. but tbh i couldnt tell you when it came out in the uk the marketing for it was pretty bad think i saw one small trailer and that was it.

So it's clear from the pics that the back and the front are debossed not embossed. This is great to see but the OP might need updating

It means it bombed at the Box Office and the UK marketing budget was kept at a minimum.

Thanks for the photos! Shame so many other steelbooks don't get this kind of work.

The dragon army emblem isn't orange I am full of anger and distaste. If you wanted a blue army emblem use asp army or somethinggg. Still love the steel though, just hope I can manage to pick one up,,

Epic Artwork!!!!!!

 

[SonicBoom]

This one looks 100X better than the Target exclusive!!

I don't know about 100x, but it does look better than the Target one.

However, it is also 2.5x more expensive!

Wrong thread Buddy

That's a great steelbook right there. Unfortunately, the movie was awful.

 

[blu-steel]

This one reminds me of Looper. Looper is a great film though.

 

[ripclaw]

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I didn't read the novels, but I read the comic books produced by Marvel instead, with Orson having a fair amount of input. The bullying scenes, IMHO, were a bit toned down in the movie. The comic, being visual, didn't seem to pull any punches! As much as there were children acting in this movie, this movie is not for kids.

Part of me is wondering if there's a Director's Cut out there.

 

[kaworu nagisa]

They toned down a lot of the violence to squeeze into a 12A or w/e rating. Like I expected the shower scene to at least /have blood/ but nope. Nada. By missing out on the major themes of the book in order to secure a wider audience /you [hypothetical studio/Gavin Hood) are literally alienating the audience because you're just giving them a diluted, semi-philosophical dumb action movie/. That's also actually both simultaneously incredibly slow and way too fast.

It sounds like I really hated the movie oh my gosh

1 to USA please. thanks.

There is links for two group buys in the OP

 

[gwyper]

FYI if you require this steel without that annoying HMV security tag you need to place an order via my GB and pay by 1st March.

Just wondered out of interest, do you receive the steelbooks without the tags?

If you slowly unpeel the tag, the wrapping will stay intact anyway.

yup i get mine without the security tags (look in op ). Most don't like to attempt to remove these just in case they tear... let alone the residue afterwards.

*shrugs*

yup i get mine without the security tags (look in op ).

Aha! You sneaky little devil! Really wish HMV wouldn't do that though. I open mine, but it's annoying for others that don't.
