"Transformers" To Be Released on DVD / HD-DVD October 16th?

Hey, that's not to bad. I was actually thinking closer to November...but that would be nice.

Of course, I'd have to wait untill Christmas, though to watch it on HD-DVD, since I'm not getting my 360 HD Drive untill then....

Nice, day after my birthday

What? That may be the shortest theater to DVD time ever. I hope its true. I want to watch TF on my TV.

I think we're talking about "good" movies here, dude.

Hopefully this is a world wide date and not a US one. I know that Australia was one of the first countries to get it in theatres, but we have to wait ages for the dvd.

*Fingers crossed* I know we got the movie first but please don't let us get the DVD of it last!

Actually, the shortest theater to DVD time goes to a movie called Bubble, 2006 film from director Steven Soderbergh which came out on DVD the same day as it's theatrical release.

The second shortest theater to DVD time is for the film Surviving Christmas. The movie was released on DVD just two months after its theatrical release, making it the film with the shortest time between theatrical to DVD release. (The movie was also a box office bomb, grossing around $4 million in its opening weekend and about $11 million five weeks after its release.)

Then Justin and Kelly.

If I relate it to how fast rent always need to be paid, that'll be like next week!

That would be the same day Planet Terror comes out on DVD!

Whoa, I seriously hope that's the true release date.

November 1 release date for Australia according to Chaos.com

It would surprise me if it were true.

Although it would not surprise me if this was the release date of a basic DVD version, with more Special Editions and Director Cut versions to be released closer to Christmas.

Oh good point. If that's the case, I'll wait for the later more elaborate editions.

I thought they'd release it closer the Xmas, cash in on the whole gift-buying season.

That's jsut DVD's though. Anybody remember "Spaceballs"? Instnat cassettes! They're out in stores before the movie is finished!

Nah!

Isn't October 16th a little soon? Or is it the fact that everyone in the world has seen this in theaters, so there's no point in prolonging the DVD release? It just seems to me it usually takes a good while (6 months) for the good movies to make it to DVD. This one is on DVD in 3 and a half??? In the end, though, it really doesn't matter. Bring on the DVD so I won't have to keep paying $8 to see it in theaters!

I think that's the reason for the October release. They want people to already own the movie so kids can watch ir repeatedly and ask for toys for Christmas. The more opportunites kids have to watch the movie in the fall, the better off Hasbro will be.

Heh heh, I didn't think of it that way, but yeah, that makes perfect sense!

Nov 1 aint bad. Only 2 weeks after the US, which isn't bad. Though Im stuck to what edition to get. I own 2 versions of the animated film so this is no different. Plus this can be a gift idea for Xmas too.

Wow, I thought for sure a Christmas season release, that's pretty cool.

Well the toys are due out in mid October...perhaps they're pushing both at the same time to help the items sell each other.

In one trip, you could have the movie, and it's cast.

Smart idea.

I am so excited!! BEST MOVIE EVER!! I will buy 1 of every version released!

no, shortest movie EVER was the naruto movie which was in theaters one day

Sounds too near...i was thinking at least november, latest december.

Im not gonna complain about such an early release date however as i cant wait to see the movie again, but this just seems too near to be true.

ive got a funny one...

my local cinema was playing 'the chronicles of narnia' until about 2 weeks before it came out on DVD.

Hows that?

i hope that date is really true. i would so love it. although...it would make me question what extras on the dvd would be...(ive seen the list) but whether or not they'd be any good either.

It ain't neccessarily too soon. Die Hard 4.0 been confirmed for a late October release date in Europe and that only came out a couple of weeks before Transformers didn't it? I'm presuming the US Die Hard DVD will be well out by the end of October so Transformers mightn't be too far behind

Hmm...true. Im just cynical, and since this is something i really want i dont expect to be able to get hold of it so soon, as i usually have to wait ages to get anything.

Imax article mentions a fall DVD release.

I would love to see it out as early as October.But i'm not holding my breath

well with the imax post stating that with the release of transformers dvd in the fall so i would have to say that october 16th is correct but yeah the date could be subjected to change. as for one huge fan of transformers i am going to be waiting for this movie to come out on dvd. i want to see it again and again and again.

November 1 release date for Australia according to Chaos.com

Dragontail of Theyareamongus.com has received official confirmation from Paramount Home Video regarding a November 1 release date for Australia.

The thread

Spiderman will be released on Oct 30 and Shrek on Nov 13 So I think Transformers won't be out until at least Thanksgiving

I work for BlockBuster and can confirm that TF officially has a hard street date of Oct. 16th.
