Just curious to see how the release went for everyone else! We had a small line at open, and we sold almost 100 copies today. It has been very popular, but I was surprised that some people didn't know about it (however many ended up buying it after finding out). The Target Exclusive movies generated some interest, but they didn't really sell well.

Some folks like to read.
Many of them like to read popular fiction.
It doesn't become you to pretend you are too cool for the room.
You just come off like those pretentious types who say they don't watch TV.

No, I'm not open. I get paid to stand here.

I cashiered today and I only saw maybe 6 people buy a copy. But we had a big display of the book and the movies out by the check out lanes
That's actually fairly odd that you saw so few copies sold. Looking at the nearest few stores, it looks like some sold between 60 and 120 copies today. I would say for my district this launch was a success with limited fanfare at open.

I was told by one woman that B&N had been sold out. And, tbh, I only worked a 4 hr shift and I wasn't watching to see if people were buying them at the self checkout or on other lanes. But I really don't think my store sold that many today
Opened Electronics Sunday morning and while the display was ready by the check lanes nothing was done in Entertainment. The LOD told me that the closer the night before did it, but he didn't so I set the entire Entertainment display well after the store opened. Kind of annoying since it was a Sunday and I had plenty of guests to deal with while also building a whole Planogram. Thankfully I finished before my lunch. Not sure how many we sold since I'm assuming most people picked it up at the front, plus for whatever stupid reason all the DVD's were at the check lanes display but Entertainment just got 1, 6, and both parts of 7. Not sure I'll ever understand Target's planogram decisions.

I think we sold out in the evening. There were a surprisingly large amount of copies when I went in in the afternoon, but they were all gone by the time I left.
Either I didn't pay attention or it didn't get much publicity.
A girl came in with her friend and ran to the display and started crying.
