Ben Stiller (Meet The Parents, There’s Something About Mary) stars as Larry Daley, a former night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come alive after dark. But now Larry’s nocturnal friends are being retired to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, luring him back for a hilarious, all-out battle against a cranky Egyptian Pharaoh who plans to take over the museum... and the world!

There was an ad for it inside the Transformers Blu-ray and was on the list of movies you could get a 10 dollar rebate.

Here we are, a year later, and still no announcement as to when it comes out...and I really want to watch that one again so bad.
Oh. I see. My little sister saw Stardust and she loved it. I would really appreciate it though if they announced the Blu-Ray for Nemo. That one got delayed last year and they won't announce an actual release date. But still I see your point.

LOL< no SH*t, after 4 months of, when is Might at the Museum 2 going to be announced, Here ya go, just for you pixarfan517.
I love the Bluray/DVD combos way more then the digital copy. 1 HD set up in the house, 2 reg dvd set ups. Saves a lot of money and everyone in the house can watch the movie.

Not likely. The DVD's that come packed with Blu-ray movies are usually as bare as they get.
All the ones I've gotten so far have either been the same disc as the normal dvd or disc 1 of the 2-disc dvd set. I've never seen one that had a unique DVD included, since that would end up costing the studio more because they'd have to manufacture an extra product.

Hated the first, gonna pass up this one as well.
I, for one, like the digital copies. I hate that they waste an entire disc to do it, but I tow my laptop around a lot and it's great to have the movies with me because I do not have a Blu-ray drive. Even though I have most of them on my iPod as well, I don't like using that for video. But they're there just in case...which is a good feeling.
Didn't they announce STARDUST back in 2007? But I am with all of you guies over Hangover but not as much as I was with myself on this one. I didn't see Hangover. I heard it was very, very funny. It's right now on my Netflix. But I heard that VideoETA.com might announce the release date on October 27 (at least that's what they said), but you may never know.
I can understand what you just said about digital copies. In my own world, I only have a computer desktop so there has to be someway for me to transfer my movies onto my iPod. Believe, I'll take the Pixar films everywhere where I go either if it's on a DVD or on my iPod. But here's a note for all of you guies to each his own, the reason why I like these Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo packs is not just the digital copy but the fact that I have a portable DVD player that I like to use a lot. So in that case, I can watch a movie at home in Hi-Def and whenever I travel (I'm going to be doing so again this winter) and I bring my portable DVD player, I can use the DVD itself.
So that's my little world out there.

Unlike the useless digital copy, the BluRay/standard DVD combo packs are actually a lot more appealing. Given I only have one BluRay player, all the other players in my house and vehicle are standard DVD. I don't have the money right now to replace them all. Having a combo pack like this allows me to have a BluRay version for my showcase system and then the standard DVD that we can enjoy in the car or other rooms of the house with standard DVD players. Also, if you have a friend or family member who only has standard DVD, you can get the combo pack and give the standard DVD to them. I did that with the Wolverine Wal-Mart exclusive Bluray that offered a standard DVD disk; gave the standard DVD to my son who doesn't have a BluRay. So actually these combo packs are very nice to have the option to buy.
does the DVD in the combo Blu-Ray have the same extras as the one disc DVD release?
What the hell is that f**ked up monkey business s**t?

I just think its pointless and probaly jacks the price up a good bit. People should decide for themselves if they want to switch to blu. Even if they do i dont think people will say "hmmm let me pay 15 bucks more for a blu ray combo IF one day i decide to change" I wouldn't, i would just keep buying basic dvds until i change. I'm happy with my blu ray player, but i dont need the dvd. I guess if i ever get a combo i'd just send the dvd to my brother, that would be an alternate to sending him the digital copy. Either way i think its silly
Actually, The damn Digital Copy jacks up the price. The Dvd does nothing.
Pass. Night at the Museum was just stupid, unfunny slapstick which is just pointless. "You dumb dumb, you give me gum gum?" It's amazing people finds that funny.

Anyway great movie. Definitely getting as a gift.
There.

That's true with the Owen and Steve part but don't bring up the line "Something funny's going on." They'll wind up doing it.

The first sucked. I'd pass on this one all together except it has Amy Adams. So for her, I will rent it.
I'm all for the Combos as well - I think they are a GREAT idea, especially for parents. We have a single Blu Ray in the living room. We have DVDs in two other rooms, DVD in the two laptops and a couple of portable DVD players for the kids. I like being able to have the DVD version for the kids to watch in the portables when we are on trips and still have the Blu Ray to watch on the widescreen.
I'm going to start sending digital copies back to the companies and see how much they like trash thrown in their faces. I used to literally just through them out/recycle them, they are worthless, imaging how much plastic could be saved without them.
This was a fun movie, about as good as the original, might or might not buy.

I like the combo packs, because I can usually sell the DVD+Digital Copy to my roommates and still keep the Blu-ray. Plus if I want my own digital copy, I'll just make one for myself and then hand it off to them. It's great. Just for an example, I got the WalMart exclusive 3-Disc set for Wolverine, sold the DVD + Digital Copy, kept the Blu-ray. In the end I only paid $11.
This was a fun family adventure. What pushes me towards making a purchase was how funny a lot of the cast was, Hank Azaria in particular. They really stepped up the humor for this one, I'll definitely get this one.

To each his own, I love the combos. I only have a blu-ray player in my living room, but I happen to have about 5 DVD players throughout my house, not to mention places I might go to stay for a while (eg. cottage, hotel, parents' house). How would I watch the movie I bought in all these other places if I only had the Blu-Ray? Digital copies on the other hand, I have no use for. If I ever needed one, I'd make it myself via the DVD without the DRM.

This was just ok. I think Hank Azaria was just a bit too much, though.
Ha Ha. As somebody above said, Coogan and Wilson are line the size of a finger. Dumb cover.
I thought the first was okay, harmless family fun. This should be more of the same. Although, I will only purchase if the film is really good. The combo looks tempting though.
Personally, I like the combos. I like to watch movies on my laptop that I take to campus with me, which doesn't have a blu-ray drive. I also haven't seen any dvd/blu-ray combos for over $25 at the places I shop, which is an average price for any blu-ray.
They also tend to do this with only kids movies. I think that's because not a lot of children have their own blu-ray players in their rooms or in their cars. If the parents have a blu-ray player, this gives them an option where they can have a blu-ray copy and one for the kids to watch on their own time.
Digital copies, on the other hand, are pretty much worthless.
And I have absolutely zero desire to see this movie or purchase it.

Just a quick notification to those who wondered, the US Blu-ray releases of Child's Play and Misery are region-free and so is X-Men Origins: Wolverine... maybe Fox is going region-free?
