probably earlier than R1.

firewired · « **Reply #2 on:** Oct 16, 2006 at 08:03 AM »

Yes, mid-November is likely but hopefully Warner Philippines decides to bring it out even earlier.

Superman Returns R3 2-disc DE with comic book will street on November 12 -- currently the earliest in the region. Retail is Php650 but there's a very good chance that there'll be a pre-order promo.

Nice

Ano kaya free item or discount? Di kaya sana lenticular parang Batman and Corpse Bride

The pre-booking allows for a P100 shave off the regular price for both the 2 disc and the 2 disc with comic book. Regular prices for these are P599 and P650 respectively. I saw the comic book earlier and it seems worth the P51 price differrence. I'll post pics once we have the materials from Warner. We will start the pre-booking promo before the end of the week. As mentioned by firewired, the street date is November 12.

This looks promising...double dip when the 14disc Superman comes out?

Is the comic book the same as the one which was printed locally (i.e., the comic adaptation of the movie)?

Why do Warner always offer a DE for R3 and not for R1?

firewired · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 18, 2006 at 01:14 PM »

For major releases, it's an anti-piracy tactic. Value-priced deluxe editions are very attractive to buyers. For example, Batman Begins DE was one of Warner's biggest sellers ever.

You're right. If the sales estimates at BoxOfficeMojo.com are correct, the Philippines is one of the biggest markets for Superman Returns. It made almost $4.2 M here. The Da Vinci Code I think only managed to earn $1.8 M. For comparison, the Harry Potter movies typically earn $2-3 M here. Also, according to the SM IMAX manager, the Philippine IMAX theater had the biggest per theater average for Superman Returns IMAX. Proof that Superman is BIG in the Philippines and thus deserves an elaborate DVD release here!

Yes, and according to Warner's November 2006 DVD Release Flyer, Superman Returns is actually the Highest Grossing Warner Brothers movie OF ALL-TIME in the Philippines.

I had no idea it was that big locally.

Is there a pre-order promo at Astrovision too? Or is it strictly at pinoydvd.biz? I prefer to pick-up the item from the store so I can choose (especially if this comes in a lenticular package again). Mahirap na kung ma-scratch during delivery.

clea · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 20, 2006 at 07:45 PM »

Meron din ata sa Astro but pinoydvd.biz takes care of delivered DVDs pretty well

firewired · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 20, 2006 at 09:42 PM »

Pre-orders will be accepted in Astro and other major retailers but they may charge a reservation fee. PinoyDVD is waiving this fee for now but if our reservation-to-purchase ratio deteriorates, the distributors will probably advise us to do the same.

Good news and bad news from Randyv

"Bad news is that SE with the comic book will come shrink wrapped and not with a slip case. The good news is that this is a limited release and and not all territories worldwide will carry the comic book, thus the shrink wrap packaging. I was told that if the comic book was offerred in all territories, the packaging would have been different. Tradeoff: limited release/not great packaging vs. unlimited release/better packaging.

The comic book title is "Superman: The ultimate guide to the man of steel". The contents are basically excerpts from a coffee table of (maybe) the same title. Cover is silver with the Superman logo. I've requested for more descriptions on the comic."

Sayang sana limited release/great packaging na lang no?

Sana great packaging na lang. Hindi ko naman bibilhin ito para ibebenta rin. It's for collection purposes. I don't know what to make of this. I preordered this eventhough I am already getting the Ultimate Collection for both Regions 1 & 3 so I can display them side by side.

Siguro wag ko na lang tanggalin from the shrink wrap.
