Does this have more places still to open? Otherwise it isn't making 500mil. Surprising really.

 

[ThePhantasm]

It hasn't even made 500 mil? I thought it started pretty strong.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Mojo has it at 482mil.

Disney Offers 2D 'Oz' Deal With 3D Purchase
3 May, 2013 By: Thomas K. Arnold


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Walt Disney Studios, creator of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD combo pack, has come up with a new configuration designed to simplify matters for the consumer &#8212; and at the same time recognize that 3D for the home, at least for now, is still a small but growing business.

Instead of making Oz the Great and Powerful available in an everything-goes combo pack, the studio is releasing the film in a Blu-ray Disc-DVD combo pack and individual Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Blu-ray 3D configurations, each with a digital copy.

Previously, the studio packaged Blu-ray 3D in with the regular Blu-ray-DVD combo pack. With Oz, buyers of the Blu-ray 3D can still get the 2D version for an additional $5.99, plus shipping and handling. And buyers of the regular Blu-ray Disc can get the 3D version for the same amount.

"We strive to give our consumers the best in-home experience and consistently evolve our mix of product offerings,&#8221; said a spokesperson for Disney. &#8220;We know that our 3D consumers enjoy that experience as well as the ease of use and functionality of digital copy. With Oz the Great and Powerful we're offering a single, simplified version for their in-home and on-the-go viewing needs. And, for those desiring a 2D Blu-ray version of the film, there's an offer included in the package.&#8221;

Wait... I'm confused, how is this different from how the marketplace works now? Every 3D blu ray I've ever gotten was 10 dollars more and included the 2D disk. So, isn't it just doing the same-old same-old?

 

[Super Kal]

no, they used to sell the 2D version and the 3D version separate, but now they wont sell them separate... now you HAVE to buy the 3D version if you want the 2D version only.

i think thats what they mean

No, it use to be that to get the 3D version you had to buy the the Blu-Ray and DVD as well.

Now they will sell the blu-ray by itself, a blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and a 3D/DVD combo pack. All come with a digital copy. They will no longer seemingly be selling the blu-ray/3D/DVD combo pack.
