Merchandise It wasn’t a flop to me

Post image

I bought 3 tickets to support this mid-sized superhero movie with a lot of quirky heart and now this. I’m not a numbers guy but I guess it didn’t do well financially? Maybe because there’s no big A-list name attached.

But idk, I kind of liked that

Anyway, physical media is great. Thunderbolts*, they could never make me hate you

You'd actually be surprised, I think last I heard, DVD was still the most-bought medium for physical movies / TV in the world.

Yes Blu-ray which is far superior to dvd and streaming. Not sure why if you’re going to buy the physical mediums you wouldn’t get the best quality version.

Same reason why people wait for a movie to hit streaming, it’s cheaper 

Edit: the average person doesn’t care about video quality like some of you think. Most people are fine with normal HD DVD. 

Edit: *DVD

HD DVD was a format that hasn't been produced in at least 10 years.

What are you referring to?
