Soldatti I take this from a little Billboard report that my friend Melissa send it to me:

02/22/2004
Contrary to reports that the Four Flicks concert DVD would hit other retail outlets after the first of the year, The Rolling Stones' exclusive distribution deal with Best Buy will stay in effect at least until the end of March. Brian Lucas of Best Buy tells us the collection has sold almost 300-thousand copies since its November release on U.S and Canada. And now Best Buy is giving away a free copy of Four Flicks with every television purchase of 299 dollars or more. This week "Four Flicks" is at #8 on Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos.

Acording to Soundscan "Four Flicks" has sold 220,000 copies on U.S since his realese but:
220,000 copies + free copies + promo copies + Canada (more than 30,000 copies sold) the numbers are right.

Oh! RIAA didn't award the DVD still but with that numbers x 4 the award is 9x Platinum.

mac_daddy Soldatti, as always, thanks for the info...

is that alot or a little..? has 4F exceeded, met, or failed to meet market expectations..?

I thought platinum = 1 million units sold. so the 4F package has yet to go gold (500K copies)... am I missing something..?

thanks again.

Monkey Woman 1 million = Platinum is for records. I've read that in DVD charts, Platinum means 25,000 units sold. So 220,000 does make it 9X platinum.

jb Very disappointing...

Nellcote Hey JB;

Are you blue about the amount of Stones units sold to date? FEAR NOT! In a repeat of the best selling sports dvd of all time, the 2001 Super Bowl Winning NE Patriots, which moved a whopping 500,000 units and still sells to this date, on sale today is the new, improved version, which features the 2003 Super Bowl Winning NE Patriots! Go to you nearest Best Buy and scoop one today. Over three hours of pure football karma, featuring "Homeland Defense", the best defense in the NFL. BTW< please bring one to your South Florida chameleon, Super Fraud "Dano" Marino, so he will understand what a true Football dynasty is!

jb The patriots should not have won their first superbowl as the refs blew that "fumble call" agains the raiders...This year, they were very mediocre and were lucky to play a girls team like Carolina...We (the dolphins) were clearly the better team and but for a few bad breaks, we would have won the superbowl.

glencar The Looozer Sox are headed for an overload & I think I like it!

glencar Back on topic: 4 Flicks is an incredible collection. I believe wise people elsewhere have rated it as 9.2 on a "1 to 10" scale.
02-24-04 11:06 AM
Nellcote JB, I think that the swamp gas from the Glades has crept into Boca and is clouding your judgment, Mr. Barrister..

To review their season for quality games for those Phins fan still in denial...as the Pats only..

Beat Miami twice
" Titans twice
" Indy twice
" more teams with 500 plus records than any other
NFL team.
Unbeaten in 15 games

JB, get the Pats video today! You can watch a real team in the PATS!

02-24-04 11:09 AM
jb And then the fans acted like savages killing hundreds of people in the victory celebration..shame..shame...shame...
02-24-04 11:14 AM
Nellcote Hundreds of people? You must have this confused with the new movie your friend Henry Gibson has out tomorrow.
That's America today, right, the most violent place on earth? Stick to the topic JB, as I predicted back in November, the Stones dvd will go down as the best music dvd collection released to date.
Now go get the Pats dvd today, better yet, I'll give you a project.
Get one delivered to Dan Marino, fax me the proof of delivery, I'll pay your costs. I would love to see his face when he signed for it, that loser...

jb Mel Gibson must be stopped and this picture must be condemned in the harshest terms or I fear thousands of jews will be beaten or killed.
02-24-04 11:25 AM
Nellcote Face it JB, this is the society we live in. Blood, guts, gore, fabrication of the truth, that's what sells movies.
Throw in some skin, you got yourself a box office smash..
Just keep in mind, it's a movie.
Gone are the days of "Nice to see you Mrs. Cleaver!"

Kick is up-KICK IS GOOD!!!! PATS WIN!!
