and your source would be?? or did you just pull that date out of your arse?

manicsounds · 05-08-2004, 01:37 PM

Minnesotans usually can get industry insider information pretty easily.

Anyway, it seems announcements between Theatrical release
and DVD release are getting closer and closer together doesnt it?

ok this marks 100 posts, i'll finally have an avatar.....

Buffalo Bill · 05-08-2004, 02:10 PM

Well, my birthday is Oct. 11th so I know one thing I'll be asking for.

Dassy · 05-08-2004, 02:17 PM

Edited:Found the Answer now.

panhead4life · 05-08-2004, 11:09 PM

FYI, no I didn't pull this out of my ass thank you very much...look at the picture from this official release!

your welcome!

Moose · 05-08-2004, 11:18 PM

Looks photoshopped to me...

:p

Seriously, thanks for the info.

panhead4life · 05-08-2004, 11:20 PM

lol, it's NOT be messed with. I got this at the HUGE theater in the cities. I was pretty excited when I saw the release date already! I just got the xbox game too, pretty damn fun!

panhead4life · 05-08-2004, 11:43 PM

Actually Lakeville, it's about 15-20 miles south of the twin cities

why crucial? lol

Vonner · 05-09-2004, 12:20 AM

I know where that theater is, maybe I'll go see for myself.

phpotato · 05-09-2004, 01:16 AM

Is it true that if you market it well, you can sell almost anything?

DVDAddict20 · 05-09-2004, 03:55 AM

The movie just came out in theaters yesterday how can you know DVD release dates ALREADY?! You do know that the studio can change the date the DVD comes out at any time for no reason. It could be a tentative release date but who knows. Maybe Van Helsing will come out on DVD in time for the Christmas rush?

panhead4life · 05-09-2004, 04:29 AM

ugh, the theater to dvd release is getting shorter all the time, and around halloween seems to be perfect to me. I understand it's tentative, but i'm pretty sure they're not going to change it, unless they're fuckin stupid.

later

So Lakeville, MN is considered "the cities". Fascinating. I would have given the honour to Duluth myself...

panhead4life · 05-09-2004, 08:40 PM

to me lakeville is the cities because it's like...2 miles away from burnsville, and burnsville is about 5 miles from the cities, so yup, it's the cities to me!

BubbleGumUK · 05-09-2004, 09:52 PM

DVD File is posting a $54m take for Van Helsing's opening:
http://www.dvdfile.com/news/sales_st...ice/index.html

Now, they say these are disappointing numbers for Universal. BUT, given the very poor reviews and awful word of mouth this has been picking up, I was surprised at $54m!

I was thinking a limper take in the $30ms, so this is actually pretty good!

Whats up with that? And it'll probably take that again during the week. Half their budget back in a week - not bad. What are they complaining about?

Could have been much much worse...

panhead4life · 05-09-2004, 09:54 PM

i too thought this was very good

and i LOVED the movie!

brttlt · 05-09-2004, 10:10 PM

slow down people! Most of us haven't even seen the movie yet (1 week) and you're already concerned and getting worked up about a DVD release date!
Whew!

panhead4life · 05-09-2004, 10:26 PM

not getting worked up one single bit, although it's going to be a tight day. It is a wonderful movie, and I can wait for it. But I was provided w/ info about the release date....so I posted it. I don't see how that's getting worked up about it.................................................

CruiseControl · 05-09-2004, 10:30 PM

This was the worst movie I've seen in years so I can understand why the release date has been announced already.

panhead4life · 05-10-2004, 02:41 AM

if you didn't like the mummy or the mummy returns, why the hell did you go see it? you knew it was the same director...whatever

Marq · 05-10-2004, 04:23 AM

Are those autographed frisbees?

Vonner · 05-10-2004, 04:33 AM

They look like autographed drum heads to me.

panhead4life · 05-10-2004, 11:38 AM

lol, autographed drumheads they are

SharpShooter5 · 06-12-2004, 10:36 PM

I just saw Van helsing last week (yeah, well better late then never)

and i loved it, yes its never gonna win best screenplay, but it was full of action. it reminded me of LXG, in that the story was pretty standard, but the action and effects more then made up for it

As long as universal can get there acts together, its gonna be one hell of a great DVD

mtcarmel00 · 07-15-2004, 09:44 PM

DVDAnswers is reporting that Van Helsing is getting a 3-week delay and will now be released on October 19. Maybe this is a sign that even more goodies will be on the disc, but we'll see in October I guess.

panhead4life · 07-16-2004, 04:48 AM

ahhh, what the FUCK...I have noticed on dvdanswers.com and other sources that many of these studios keep changing release dates, for instance van helsing was oct. 19th originally to sep. 28, now back to the 19th. I've noticed this w/ van helsing, walking tall, and a couple other titles.

What's wrong w/ these fucking studios giving us false hopes!

blakely614 · 07-17-2004, 02:30 AM

from dvdanswers.com

Universal has announced Van Helsing which stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. The film will be available to own in both single disc and three-disc ultimate editions from the 19th October this year. The single disc will retail at around $29.98. The price of the three-disc set has yet to be determined. Both will feature an anamorphic widescreen transfer as well as an English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby 2.0 Surround and Spanish Dolby Digital 2.0 track. On top of all the extra material on the three-disc set, the package will also include the recent releases of Dracula (1931), Frankenstein and The Wolf Man. The single disc set will include the commentaries, along with the 360 Degree Tour, outtakes, a Bringing the Monsters to Life featurette, the You Are In The Movie feature and a Legend Of Van Helsing featurette. The full specs for the three-disc edition are attached below, along with the artwork and menu shots:

1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation

English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Track

French Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Surround Track

Spanish Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Surround Track

Commentary with Director Stephen Sommers and the Producer

Commentary by Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Roxburgh & Shuler Hensley

You Are in the Movie On-Location Featurette

Anatomy of a Scene: The Masquerade Ball

Van Helsing Time Lapse Footage of Sets being Built, Filmed and Torn Down

Play The Van Helsing XBox Game (On the XBox Console Only)

Selection of Van Helsing Outtakes

English, French & Spanish Subtitles

its good to the the single disc isn't barebones afterall. if the talk is true and the srp of the 3 disc is $54.99, then the single disc is probably the way to go despite the crappy artwork.

Phreak · 07-17-2004, 03:15 AM

What a stupid cover. Oh well, not like I was going to buy it anyway...

panhead4life · 07-17-2004, 04:44 AM

i agree, the single disk coverart is stupid! the ultimate is good, that's what i'm buyin, so I could care less about the single disk

mtcarmel00 · 07-17-2004, 06:39 AM

What a waste of cover art.

Ooo action pose... must buy now!!

**SilentBob** · 07-18-2004, 06:15 AM

panhead4life · 07-18-2004, 10:22 AM

definately the collector's edition, fuck the nasty single-disc cover art, absolutely TERRIBLE!
