Quote:Originally posted by jonathan: I already own the dvd (of course), but I went to my local Blockbuster today (Wednesday morning) to try to rent a copy and support it that way too - and to ask the clerk how it was doing... There's good news and bad news. The good news: All of the copies they had at that store were already rented out. When I asked the clerk about that, he said they were ALWAYS rented out. They can't keep them in the store. I didn't look closely at every selection in the store, but Serenity was the only one I noticed where every single copy was checked out. The bad news: They only had eight copies available to start with, and they were located on a bottom shelf where they were very difficult to find (although people are obviously finding them anyway). Other movies (like Wedding Crashers) had two full racks (maybe 200 copies) displayed very prominently. When I asked the clerk about getting more copies of Serenity, he said that they didn't have that capability - they were stuck with what they were sent, which obviously isn't enough to meet demand. Anyone else have any similar/different experiences?

The idea of having eight copies of one film in one rental store just BLOWS the mind!
