Why can't I find "Empire of the Sun"? (1 Viewer)

[Bob McLaughlin]

I've been to several stores in the Pittsburgh area and just can't seem to find this, despite its announced release date of 11/06. Is this a brick and mortar thing? Did this get delayed? It seems to be available at online stores...

This seems to be a trend with Best Buy for older movies that were not considered a big hit. I suggest you try Borders. They have a very good selection, but fewer copies of each title. Their prices are very competitive with Best Buy and Circuit City, also.

Another reason why I still buy 99% of my dvds on the internet!

You didn't state which B&M stores you tried, so for what it's worth, the OKC Best Buy I was in last night had it.

Same here... My local Best Buy has like 35 copies of Empire of the Sun.

Saw it at my local Best Buy on Tuesday and just saw a TON of 'em at Costco a few minutes ago.
Unfortunately, I'm in the OTHER boat. I ordered mine from DDD early last week and have yet to receive a shipment notice.

At first, I couldn't find Empire of the Sun or Doctor Zhivago at my local Circuit City. Neither were in the "New Releases" area.
So, I took a look over in the "Drama" area, and both were to be found. It seems my Circuit City has a habit of putting titles they don't consider "big sellers" in their corresponding genre instead of in the "New Releases" area.

CC generally gets about 2 copies of a classic into their stock. They then stick them in with the rest of the back catalog
