For Sly this is almost as big as Rocky in terms of unexpected results... you can tell he's almost overwhelmed by how well the movie was received. Unlike his return to the big screen with Rocky/Rambo this was a completely original and unique concept.
The movie did VERY well for a Lionsgate release, but you should also remember that while it did perhaps four times as well as their movies often do, it also COST four times as much. Your average SAW film costs very little to produce, while The Expendables cost a lot.
Anyway, as you guys are saying, the DVD sales will most likely be quite big - let's hope so at least! It would be awesome to see the movie ready by 2012 and it's quite possible that it will happen if the project gets fast-tracked like Stallone and Lerner is hoping for.
