Continuum DVD sales start strong

- Start date
Great news, hope to see more SG1 movies!! 
This is wonderful news! 
^Stargate is more of a niche interest than comedy, even if it is stupid comedy. Stargate only being down 200 units to something that is naturally going to attract more people isn't a bad number.
Do you have any idea how the mind of John Q. Public works?
Emphasis mine as I have no idea what that actually means.
In any event, it came out Number 2...I would think thats pretty good considering it's a direct-to-dvd movie as opposed to a DVD release of a theatrical film (which generally have wider audience awareness).
I think it basically amounts to "there wasn't any decent DVD's released".
I'm sure that Harold and Kumar shows naked boobies while the Stargate movie doesn't. Get it?
Harold and Kumar 1 had a large following on DVD so no surprise number 2 did so well. Not too mention even the critics loved number 1 (sequel was ok) Stargate will however sell better in upcoming weeks compared to such a movie.
I love how you always try and find a way to bash Stargate
Continuum sold 276,677 copies in it's first week which means it made $4,806,073. That's about $500 000 more then Ark of Truth made in it's first week.

I'm not trying to bash Stargate, my point was the fact that a Stargate DVD movie didn't even manage to beat something called "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" whatever the hell that is... is hardly something to shout about.
Hardly something to shout about creatively perhaps (although I've seen the first film widely praised for its deconstruction of race in Hollywood films), but certainly a financially lucrative product. It's no surprise it outsold Continuum. And I say that as someone who has grown very tired with Stargate lately (but hasn't given up completely yet).
Arrogance.

Just because you don't know what something is, doesn't diminish the public image of something. Most people, in fact, know what Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay was.
That's a very pretty arrogant view on your part.
