I found out last night that "Meet the Spartans" and "Disaster Movie" are two of our most rented films of 2008/2009 so far, followed by "Hannah Montana".
I had never thought about it that way, I hope your right. I just don't like the idea of people spending money on this sort of crap, those films made enough money as it is, people should'nt help them make more $$.
Well, here's another perspective. Maybe the GOOD movies are the ones which people are going out and buying, whereas the ones which come out that are so bad that they peak peoples' curiosity are the ones people just rent.
And if your store's pretty cheap, people prolly don't wanna spent a lot of money on it, so they'll flock to your place. I mean, I wouldn't underestimate the stupidity of the high school population at times either, but still.
Makes sense. Even something as awful as the Mummy 3 or Day the Earth Stood Still had some feature about them that collected a fanbase willing to buy them rather than renting. If anything, this is good news since these results imply your customers are only renting those movies, fully aware how bad they are (like Jo said) and don't plan watching them anytime again.
Yeah you're prolly right Ironman Jo, lol but so many of the people who hired it just would not look me in the eye when they were renting it, lol you could tell some of them were getting it under protest lol.
I think those 2 films are the most rented because they are that bad... word of mouth says these movies are just awful to the point that your brains explode and then BAM! Curiosity kicks in... This is a simple case of 'curiosity killing the cat'. Afterwards, I bet most of them didn't even bother to look at you straight in the eye and say it was great. lol. I know this for I was one of these people who rented it to see its sheer awfulness... only to smack a wall in anger. Never again. Never again.
Some of the members in our store are just the most wonderful people..... they are small in number. Mostly, yes, not so smart. And we also get a lot of teen traffic because there are about 4 schools in the area within about a 10 min drive of the store.
Oh I know right, when I found out I was so gutted, I mean out of all the movies that came out recently fucking Meet the Spartans is the one thats renting the best!!!??? FUCK!
