'SMOKIN' SELLING OUT #1 DVD IN THE COUNTRY 04/25/2007 at 11:25 AM

Guys:

Vast and numerous reports of the 'Smokin' DVD being impossible to
come by its first week in release. Very excited to hear this. Hope everybody
is enjoying the film, the commentaries, the bonus features, etc. We are
indeed the #1 rented and purchased title in the country as of this moment.
I'll just sit back and enjoy the glow until 'DeJa Vu' hits.

All of the winners should be receiving their free DVD's mit additional swag! Either
today or tomorrow.

Dane and Matthew should be thrilled to know that FINALLY, their winning
posters are being sent out.

Hello JC,

Are there any reliable $ amounts in yet for the first week DVD sales/rentals of “Smokin’ Aces”? From my two trips to Best Buy last week, it appeared that the HD DVD version and the DVD/Aces playing card combo was flying off the shelves.

Thanks,
DanV

Joe,

What were the sales vs. rentals figures? Several stores I ventured into had considerable difficulty keeping ACES on the shelf. Congrats!

Whew! I was starting to wonder if I got "punkd"...folks thought I made that winning sh*t up. Looks like now I can turn to them and say, "Bitch, I'm about to ball this."

Can't wait to get the DVD and the rest.

Peace,
RTA

I knew it would do well! I've been bugging everyone I know if they've seen it or picked it up. It's cool to hear everyone's reaction just now seeing it for the first time and their excitement.

Hey Joe,

Fantastic news!!! 'Aces' deserves all of it's success, as do you. I'm glad people are finally "discovering" what most of us already knew. Congrats!
