Yep and when you look at whats above it, its doing really well.
it's number 3 best seller in blu-ray and in 'Action and Adventure' and number 1 best seller in Blu-ray 3D
and Science Fiction & Fantasy

Number 8 on amazon.com blu-ray chart, 39 overall, but take into account that tv shows individual episodes are counted.

Cool!

Yep that's pretty cool, especially as there's only a handful of movies above it - The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, LotR, Skyfall and Rise of the Guardians - Looper aside all far more high-profile movies than Dredd, and out of them Skyfall is the only other entry based purely on pre-orders. Dredd is punching above it's weight there I think!

Amazon's price drop (on both sides of the Atlantic) seems to be doing the trick for now - but I'd like to think DREDD is going to be a consistent strong seller on home formats and on demand for a good few years to come.

We may never get a sequel, but at least there's an indication that it's starting to find it's real audience now, which is great news for the filmmakers.

Up to number 6 now in "Film and tv"!  :thumbsup:

Is it shamefully for me to admit I ordered 2 more today? The aussie and US disks. That's four now.

I guess I have to get around to ordering a copy as well. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be contributing as much as the rest of you, one blu-ray box is enough for me.

I've got a suspicion that a sequel will be mostly funded by the population of this here forum.

I'm a bit of a film freak who has one good source of income and no offspring to feed. Life's easy for me peeps!

Happy to see Dredd 3D got great reviews on Play.com,

One of those reviews has used the perfect term. Sleeper Hit. With very little luck needed it would seem, this may well be the case. :D

As on way to Edinburgh for Great Winter Run tomorrow, I got Empire to reading on train and notice this;

I loved DREDD and cannot wait until it is out.

Its a dreamy question, but does anyone know the kind of budget those movies on The Horror Channel / Movies For Men etc have ?
I'd happily watch a Dredd movie with that kind of budget, and if anyones seen the SFX on CBBC Wizards Vs Aliens I am pretty sure Millenium could do an awesome job here in the Uk.

If anyone has an idea on those sort of budgets, I'd love to know ?

Dredd has no charm?

Tell that to the people at the screening last night who were laughing and cheering and basically anything he said.
