Wow, thanks for posting those stats! Our people have DEFINITELY made a statement that WILL be heard at LFL. There's no way they can ignore us now.

For all the people who are still worried that we've "lost" somehow, just also remember this: for the first time, our little "movement" to boycott the stupid releases has been reported in major news outlets, and even non-"fanboy" sources have taken the stand with us for film preservation (for a high-quality release of the OUT). Some people may have caved in and bought the blu-rays, but even amongst them, the changes are almost universally hated, and there has been a very publicized backlash against those changes.

Plus, since when has monetary returns meant anything about quality, or people's attitude towards something? "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was one of the highest-grossing films of all time, but it's also one of the shittiest and universally-reviled movies of all time.

And even amongst those who caved and bought the blu-ray sets, the prequel sets STILL underperformed. Nobody will ever like THOSE shitty movies.
