Anyone have stats on how many DVD's sold last week?

<< < (4/5) > >>

littledarlin:
if no one else can find out, it will be in next week's issue of billboard.  we won't know how many, but we'll see chart positions.

David:
For what it's worth,  My local Supermarkets DVD section had only one copy of BBM left.   There were 3 Crash DVDs and a FULL stack of King Kong DVDs.

montferrat:
Thanks David.  I wonder if there was so many King Kongs though because they shipped a gazillion?

How'd it go today? About the car I mean?

No prob.  From what it says, sounds like Brokeback and King Kong sales are pretty much toe to toe, with BBM slightly in the lead.

On a separate topic, I had an idea.  Are people familiar with the Criterion Collection DVDS?  It's a company that puts out mostly deluxe versions of a wide range of classic films.  They have everything from samurai pictures to silent movies, in almost every language and a ton of amazing directors.

I was on their site to see if they have a section for suggesting titles, and sure enough they do!  I just wrote a little statement on why I thought Brokeback would make a good choice for a future edition.  If you want to write to them, you can click here: http://www.criterionco.com/asp/ask_form.asp.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" easily topped the national DVD sales chart for the week ending April 9, while the previous week's top seller, "King Kong," notched a second round atop the rental chart.

"Brokeback Mountain" finished a distant second its first week in stores, barely outselling third-ranked "Kong." "Brokeback" distributor Universal said the gay cowboy romance sold 1.4 million DVDs its first day in stores, while first-day sales for Disney's "Narnia" were pegged at 4 million units.

Best-picture Oscar winner "Crash" jumped six places to No. 6 thanks to the release of a two-disc director's-cut edition of the Lionsgate title. The only other new release to make the top 20 was the third season TV-DVD of "Full House," at No. 15.

On trade publication Home Media Retailing's video rental chart, "Brokeback" bowed at No. 2, with estimated rental earnings of $6.3 million, a tad shy of the $6.4 million earned by "Kong" its second week out. "Narnia" debuted at No. 3, with rental earnings of $6.1 million.
