I agree with FoxyMulder on this. When I was watching the Snow White BD I sometimes got the feeling that this could have been a new production. I never got the sense that I was watching a classic from the 1930's. It somewhat ruined the experience for me.
Sure, a lot of stores do. But Fox counting up the *worldwide* total number of sold units to end consumers? Right. At best, the figure is a shot from the hip, along with the $84 million claim. This quote is great too: "Once again our fan’s enthusiasm to celebrate Stars Wars continues to amaze us”.
Why would they say they sold all they shipped to shops? Because that's what they did. Fox sold a million copies, I'm sure that's true. Did the stores in turn shift a million copies to customers? How could we know? Who would compile that data? In this short time? Not every shop in the world is...
Sure, but most probably sold by Fox to distributors, not actual shop sales. It's the same with music top lists. Most of the time they reflect the number of discs sent out to shops. How do you figure Fox knows how many copies a gas station in Hicksville sold?
