The Madonna movie only opened on 195 screens or something. How could it make any money? I'll see it on DVD. A rental.

Didn't Final Fantasy (good movie acually) get a rather fast quick release as well? Didn't like the look of this movie, since I hate Miss Love as a singer and actor.

Does Left Behind count? That was actually released to dvd first, wasn't it?

I'm going with "Sweet Home Alabama." Just released a few weeks back, and this past weekend, I saw a copy of it (on DVD) for sale from a street vendor in Chinatown.

Its one of the quickest that I can remember. But, 2001's big summer releases had 4 to 5 month gaps between theater and DVD release.

 

[Ray H]

Wow. I wasn't even aware the film was released yet!

You're confusing cause and effect. The reason it is on so few screens is that the studio and theater owners judged that it wouldn't have much audience appeal. If they thought this thing had "hit" rather than "bomb" written all over it, it would be in more theaters.

I think the Pam and Tommy Lee Video made more money than the new Madonna movie ...

I'm betting the new Madonna movie, Swept Away, will beat all of the above

Yeah you're right. I picked it up yesterday.
Just kidding!

Final Fantasy came out in mid-July and DVD hit in October. It was pretty fast yes

I said earlier in the thread that "Christian Apocalyptic Thrillers" don't count because they release to video and theaters at the same time to maximize profits.

Well, that one had a better plot and much better, er, "performances"

See the full article here.
I'm guessing the DVD will be in stores next week - and in the discount bin the week after.

Could Swept Away beat Glitter as making the least amount of money?

 

[Jason Seaver]

And, um, don't run either. It's not good. At all.
