Should Marvel release TIH on DVD before the Iron Man DVD?

[SFII]

In hopes that Marvel can boost more sales for TIH, would it be a better strategy to release TIH on dvd first, before they release Iron Man? We all know the Iron Man dvd is gonna sell successfully, but i personally think the TIH dvd could sell more if it was released before Iron Man's.

 

[SuperFerret]

Why and how would it sell more?

 

[SFII]

ok, well, here's the logic... if The Incredible Hulk dvd is already in stores(say maybe a week or 2 before Iron Man dvd comes out), it might draw that initial craving for the General Audience's "superhero action flick", and serve as an appetizer before the release of the main course Iron Man.
plus, when people go to buy the Iron Man dvd, the Incredible Hulk dvd will already be in the stores, thus further tempting people to buy both DVDs if they haven't already got the TIH dvd yet. and well, with that said, i guess Marvel could release both dvds at the same time. but, i still think releasing TIH a week or 2 before IM is a better way to capitalize on that "appetizer" craving i talked about.
and the reason why i think it would not be wise to release the TIH dvd AFTER Iron Man is because most people will probably not care as much to come back just for the TIH dvd. whereas, like i stated above, it's better for Marvel to try to take advantage of the 2-in-1 day shot.

Would have worked better if Hulk came out in theatres first.

They should come out together, has a buy 2 get discounted price thingie or special hulk /IM action figures inside them.

Yes. But only because I want to own it as soon as possible. t:

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I don't care.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I don't care either way, but it would be nice if both came out on DVD at the same time.

Both were very very great awsome movies and I'd like to get em both so I don't have to wait for both.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Yes. But only because I want to own it as soon as possible. t:

seconded.

I already own Iron Man on DVD. Probably buy Hulk next week. Long live Piracy.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Nah I think they'll want to extend this movie. I say it'll come out maybe a month after Iron Man.

In Indonesia piracy is like robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Most people cant afford the ridiculously priced originals here. Should I feel bad that a billion dollar distributer loses a few cents? Give me a break.

All PS2 games are pirated here also and Sony knows it but they let it go. They do this because no one here can afford the high priced originals. If they cant afford the games they cant sell the consoles...so let them pirate and at least make money off console sales.

I'll let you know if I ever lose sleep over the fact that money hungry production companies and distributers lose a little money each month here due to piracy, but don't hold your breath as these companies make more money in an hour than most Indonesians will see in a lifetime.

Well I'm going out to buy Hulk on DVD. I'll let you know how it is.

I really wouldnt care either way but I'm fairly sure I read TIH is coming out near december

 

[Hiruu]

No, Marvel needs to re-cut TIH for a extended cut, which will take time...time that IM won't have...Marvel needs to get IM out as soon as possible to get the dollars counted, and take their time with Hulk to find a nice soft spot for it's release...maybe early during the holiday season to get some sales for presents.

This summer season has been super saturated with superhero movies or high expected action flicks. seriously iron man, indiana jones, hancock, TIH, the dark knight, hellboy....

I think the dvd should each get their time. A lot of dvd buyers pay for one dvd at a time. I doubt they would want to buy 2 at once. I think iron man should come out first due to the stark thing.
