wow. i've only seen 10 on the list, and i can't believe twilight's not higher! i think justin's er, "scholarly" post turned some tweens off...
To be fair, most of that list is a bit lame isn't it? I'm glad Adventureland did so well though I thought it was better-than-your-average.
surprised Rachel Getting Married and Synechdoche New York aren't higher. They always seem to be out in the East end.
maybe they're just stolen.
The FBE numbers will differ (I haven't run them yet because I've got a stale dataset). We'll see.
The list is by definition going to skew to mainstream fare but it is in fact remarkable just how far off the truly mainstream our rentals typically track to. A quick glance at the latest issue of an industry rag Hollywood@Home provides a distressing glimpse into the world of what most people rent.
The Top 20
1.Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
2.Observe and Report
3.X-Men -Wolverine
4.State of Play
5.Crank 2
6.Duplicity
7.I Love You, Man
8.Sunshine Cleaning
9.The Informers
10.Adventureland
11.Last House on the Left
12.Lymelife
13.Fighting
14.Dance Flick
15.Soloist
16.17 Again
17.Easy Virtue
18.Blood and Bone
19.Earth
20.Next Day Air
We certainly have a fair bit of overlap but ours has a leg up on the list above to be sure.
I really love that Che: part one is fairly high up on the list, but clearly after watching the first 3 hour episode a lot of people passed on part two since it's so much lower.
exactly why i ordered half the amount of part 2 for FBE.
Cock. With that top 20 no wonder no-one knows who the fuck Chuck Berry is.
