Does anyone know if movies are the same as video games as in their sale restrictions before release. I've found games in stock 1-14 days before the official release date but the computers at most major retailers will prevent the employee from allowing the sale. I'm wondering if movies are the same way?
I wouldn't figure movies would be as big of a deal as they have already been in theaters before. I ask this because I'd like to buy The Avengers today to watch with some friends, it comes out in 2 days but I'm almost positive my local Wal-Mart has it in stock already.

When I used to work at Best Buy the computer would not allow the sale to complete with Movies that have not been released yet, sometimes we would get off at Midnight and buy the movies that came out that day before we went home.
