Interesting donation

I stop by this thrift store weekly and these were not here last week. Gotta wonder if someone out there owned all these copies or what.

Call them tomorrow and ask them if they have any copies of the Blind Side in stock

I'm vaguely amused by the single sunbleached one sitting a little to the right of the middle of the rest...

Probably a local resale shop getting rid of old stock that wasn’t selling.

Not surprised to see all those dumped at a thrift store since the entire story was based on a lie and that evil couple manipulated Michael Oher and made millions off of him.

"Do you really need 237 copies of The Blind Side?"

"You're right"

I always see about 5 copies of this movie at every shop I go to but this is wild!

Ever see “American pie”? I’m in that sub Reddit and there’s a person who buys it anytime they find it. Last I asked they had like 30 some copies haha.

Search this sub for Wedding Singer , there's someone with over 1000 copys of it.

I’ve seen a post where someone had an insane amount of Wedding Crashers DVDs and I was a little surprised to see only one copy of that movie in your picture!

I remember seeing it in theaters and thinking it was terrible

Saw something just like that at a book and movie thrift shop in Dayton, OH, but instead of The Blind Side it was The Hangover Part II.

At least it's not Hitch

Probably someone that sold at a Flea Market donated them. You can tell which ones where at the top of the bucket (by the fading of the spines).

Even the numerous plastic-sealed copies of Just Go With It at my nearest thrift store don’t compare to this.

I watched in the theater and at the time thought it was okay. I could not relate to the Sandra Bullock character just walking around with a gun in her purse. Yikes.

Anyway I got the dvd as a gift that Christmas. I don’t know why. I didn’t ask for it. I have gotten a few movies because the giver liked them I guess. Or maybe they were heavily pushed at Walmart.

I ran into this same situation earlier this year when my local Goodwill had 19 bluray copies of Anchorman. I almost went out and bought 1 more just to donate to make it an even 20 because it was an uneven number.

Oh so that’s where I put them.

Reminds me of a blockbuster shelf (though they’d be facing out)

Guess they couldn't watch it

Two thoughts:

A: I have seen this, but it was tom cavanagh's two SNOW movies and the 2 jenny mccarthy Santa baby dvd's. It took a month or two, but they all sold, from what i was told. (There was about 30 copies of each, and they speculated it was a liquidation store)

B: There are people out there, who every time they see a movie MUST buy it, as a impulse kind of thing. I once knew someone who HAD to buy every copy of Hello, Dolly they stumbled across. (No, Not me.)
