The good thing in Australia is that it is Father's Day next weekend. Watch the DVD/BR sales go through the roof here :)
18th September before i can order anyway as thats the UK release Date, and so i should be able to scrape £15 by then ;)

Does this meen that ridley will be able to do his 6 planned films?
I am hoping they start shooting the next one within a year.

I doubt he'll get 6 now. Looks like AC will make a tidy profit but not enough to warrant that many films.
We will likely get one more prequel movie to tie it all up, then off in another direction.....hopefully not involving Ripley, or any of her family, or clones.
Yes I agree. I would say FOX will be nervous to invest much more in this direction. They'll want to wrap it up an move on pretty quickly I imagine
Well this did not last, today 19 august, Wonder Woman (starring a short actress with thick accent) is number one on amazon.com even if is still on pre-order (with exactly a month till release).

Gotta kid ya a bit- I know facts are facts. TBH, IDC about perceived competition. I just want my movie to earn enough to make a new movie.
#2 still ain't bad to be holding on. I think this warms Fox's hearts a good deal and gives quite a bit of confidence heading into the next one. I can see where they would want to trim the budget next time round, but "smaller is better" sometimes, especially when it helps think more creatively.

Maybe this is a good thing since it gives us a bigger possibility that there will be a sequel.
I hope that the extra material will make the movie better as far as the characters are concerned. Actually I think that they should allow people to put in copies of the extra material into the movie if they have already bought it to make it better if they want to (compare it to making re-mixes of songs).
Six planned movies are too much since much of Prometheus and AC is not that well done. I say at the most two more until they get to Alien if they don’t drastically change the direction (mainly the AI involvement and the monster). They should get some interesting characters while they are working on it, something that both AC and Prometheus could have done a lot better.
Update: being second on that list isn’t bad either. I don’t care about WW so it would have been better if Alien Covenant still would have been at first place. Judging from IMDB reviews there are a lot that give it like 1 star or two starts so it might look that not many will buy it but this is good since I think that it at least was OK. What is important to me is that enough people buy it so we will get at least another movie before we get to the original.
Is it possible to look up somewhere how many copies of the DVDs and Blu-rays that have been sold? By this I mean in total numbers (50 000, 60 000, whatever).
