The Disclaimer

Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.

I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in…as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don’t get paid for this, and I don’t have the time to list every DVD. So, please don’t complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!

Hello RoundUppers!

I've pre-ordered only one thing this week: The Man Who Invented Christmas (which comes highly recommended to me).

No BB flyer...again. Sigh. Some big new releases, too. Oh well.

Safe shopping!

My wife wants Thor; I will order Faces Places either from Amazon or Barnes and Noble with member discount and coupon I have waiting on my desk.

Definitely Thor UHD. Maybe Blue Planet.

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike.

Mike you mentioned the Target exclusive for Last Jedi - do you know if that's only on the Blu or if it's also for the 4K? I ask because it's rarely for the 4K...but hope springs eternal!

Just the Target exclusive Blu of Thor: Ragnarok for me. I'll pick up Lady Bird down the road, once it drops below $10. A strong contender for my favorite film of 2018, but it's the type of title that goes on sale pretty quickly.

Thank you for your work on this as always, Mike!

I have The Breadwinner and Lady Bird on order from Amazon for this week. Those who have read the movies forum know I'm especially fond of The Breadwinner and would recommend it to anyone interested. It's also already streaming on Netflix for those of you who have that.

I'll probably also get Thor Ragnarok at some point, but not right now and certainly not for $22.99. If The Breadwinner, which made under $1 million in theaters, can come home to me for $19.96, I'm not going to accept $22+ for a massive Disney blockbuster, so will probably catch up with Thor around Black Friday, or the next time it happens to be on sale to promote something else.

I'll be picking up Cat O' Nine Tails and Lady Bird. I'll eventually pick up Curb Your Enthusiasm, A Fistful Of Dynamite and The Strangers.

Thanks for the prices, Mike! :)

The Target website only has the exclusive listed for the Blu-ray/DVD combo release.

I'll be getting the BB steelbook release of Thor, but otherwise that's it for me.

Thanks, Mike. Nothing for me this week. I am happy with my current BD copies of The Cat O’ Nine Tails and A Fistful of Dynamite, and the trailers for the Thor film did nothing for me... it may be a rental sometime down the road.

Remember back when Christmas-themed movies like this would have 10 or 11-month windows between theatrical and video so as to time the video release to the following holiday season after theatrical?

Man, how times have changed in the industry.

Thor UHD if I can find a deal. Otherwise, I’ll grab it from the Disney Movie Club with their current deal. Thank you Mike!

If you meant Thor, it’s not included with the 4K edition only the Blu-ray.

I have it in my cart now and it’s showing up for the lower price. Last Jedi is full price.
Ah right. Forgot about adding other 4K movies instead of Blu-rays.

But the price for 2 4Ks at dmc is over $31 each minimum with shipping and before tax even with the current offer.
Thor will be $28 in store and online
Last Jedi $30 maybe less in store/online.

Is there a benefit to buying them from dmc?

Thanks for the ROundUp, Mike!

Thor in 4K will be bought somewhere but I will wait to find a price reduction. Also Blue Planet II in 4K. Nothing much else piques my fancy this week.
