Outlander – 5/29/09
Well I’m heartened to see a nice response regarding Outlander. The feedback on Amazon is nice – average 4.5 stars, and the feedback on itunes is good also, averaging 3.5 stars. So if you liked it and haven’t left a rating yet, please do so! (And if you didn’t like it, well do as your mama said, and keep that to yourselves.)
What’s so nice is that these are from actual people, not critics. What I’ve painfully learned recently is that critics often have their head so far up their ass they can watch their own heart beat
And on that cheery visual, good night!

Can anyone tell me for sure that Blockbuster is the only chain in the US (outside of Netflix) that has Outlander for rent? Anyway Here’s a list of blockbuster (US) top rentals and sales. Outlander comes in at number eight agains some stiff competition. http://www.cleveland.com/newsflash/entertainment/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-2/1243449520293820.xml&storylist=entertainment&thispage=1
Has anyone been to a blockbuster in the US? How many copies of the movie are on the shelf?
At the local video store here in canada (which is not under the blockbuster exclusive deal in place in the US) There’s a decent number of copies on the shelf for a movie that never got theatrical exhibition here (probably around 20 plus or minus). They had lots of copies for sale. Walmart here had a ton of copies as well. I haven’t been back to see how well they sold. I should do that.

Hehehe.. told ya the whole “piracy” thing made your movie a lot more famous than advertisement could
Good luck on the overall sales, hopefully you come up in SO high, that the movie can then also be sold for a good price to TV-Stations and generate more income that way.

Sadly Amazon UK and Germany will not release it before September
May 30, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t understand the timing at all, as it will have been released in most every other territory before that.
May 30, 2009 at 10:55 pm
DVD releases typically trail the theatrical run by four or five months (it used to be around six months). Since the film didn’t come out in the UK until April 24th, four months later is pretty much the begining of september.
It doesn’t entirely make sense to trail the other releases like that but consider that the film only debuted in theaters in sweden about three weeks ago, and opens in italy in July. Technically that’s why DVDs are region coded but it certainly doesn’t stop Pirates that know no bounds.
Also, just because Amazon.UK doesn’t sell it yet doesn’t mean that Amazon.com won’t ship it to you. They might charge an export fee though.

What about a Australian release, theatrical or DVD ?!!!!
May 31, 2009 at 6:58 am
Hey aaron – can u help out on this? ANy info on this question?
June 1, 2009 at 5:00 am
I honestly haven’t heard much. I don’t even know who bought the Australian rights… if someone can tell me at least that, I might be better able to look into it, sorry.
June 1, 2009 at 5:35 am
Did a bit of digging. I’m still working on a release date. I’m pretty sure it will go straight to video in Australia and New Zealand. Expect it possibly in July.
The film is being distributed by Revolution Entertainment, and will be possibly in the second round of releases. Revolution is a joint venture that goes into effect tomorrow between Leader Home Entertainment and the Australian based Horizon One Entertainment

Great movie! 90% of the reviews on imdb.com are positive (on at least the first few pages) and some of them outright ecstatic! That’s what got me to see this flick.
It’s a shame the marketing of this movie wasn’t more extensive (another funding issue?). Maybe it could be sold for tv like someone else said previously, so it will increase in popularity even more!
I’m going to recommend it to a friend who loves fantasy films. I’m sure he’s going to buy a copy as well.
