Ok, so last week the movie Cop Out is available. Shows up on Monday in the "coming soon" area. Next morning it is in the available to rent area... that afternoon, all of them were gone, none to be found. Not showing up in the "New Release" listings -- I did a Google search on Cop Out, Blockbuster Express and I got a link that took me directly to the BBEx website and to the exact title, Cop Out, with a search by Zip box. I entered my zip and found one movie available. Reserved it and I got it. Just for shits and giggles I typed Cop Out in the main page search field, said ZERO RESULTS were found.
OK -- Now, last week, Clash of the Titans was listed in the "coming soon" section. I go yesterday and look for what comes out tomorrow, 7/27/10, and it's not there. Did a search. ZERO RESULTS listed.
SOOOOOO ----- what gives with BBExpress putting up titles as coming soon or available and then pulling them completely out of the line-up? Are they releasing certain big title releases in their stores FIRST, in order to try and save the stores or something?
Whatever they're doing, it sucks. The reason I left Redbox was because they have their movies held by the studios and you never get the good listings with Redbox the way BBExpress does.
Does anyone know what is going on with this "vanishing title" mystery?
Thanks!
