In Reply to: RE: Well stated, Warner look at movie sales numbers. posted by Ole Lund Christensen on December 13, 2007 at 10:58:01
The last official numbers (week ending 12/2) were 58:42. Try to keep up. That's quite a jump up from 74:26 the week before. Perhaps its the A2/A3 sales. If you look at the titles selling, many have been around for a while, implying that new customers are buying movies.
enjoy,

Follow Ups:
I had 74:26 incorrect; that was the number 2/3/4 weeks ago (I forget). Week ending 12/9/07 was 76:24 with POTC3 and Superbad (Blu-ray) vs. BattleStar Galactica (HD DVD) (hardly fair).
This week will be more interesting. Bourne Ultimatum should be big for HD DVD, Legend of Zorro, Lost for Blu-ray. And Harry Potter on both formats (HD DVD got a break; some of the Blu-ray box sets had both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs in them (!) - big whoops for Warners).
Numbers keep fluctuating based on popularity of new releases, Blu-ray is staying ahead but the recent weeks have suggested to me HD DVD has picked it up a bit (except for last week).
60% Blu, 40% HD.

But, since only the studios know the real numbers, its probably the best we have.

... compared to BB, CC, et al. Last time I checked, the cheapest HD DVD player ($298) was only $90 less than the Sony player; both well above the pricepoints of your typical Wallyworld riffraff. HD media was also consistently in the $30 price range behind locked cabinets.
You may be right. OTOH, I saw a Walmart ad for The Borne Ultimatum HD DVD last Monday. I was surprised. I have no idea what they charged for it.
I don't know how much high def they sell there, but a few months ago, it was basically none. Its possible people will get players when they get cheapo HDTVs. I do think the HD business is starting to pick up there.

I do keep up, the numbers do go up and down, but look out for
Pirates, they stole last week:-) 160,000 is a new high on Blu Ray.

They said they *moved* (as in shipped) 160,000, whereas they said spiderman3 *sold* 130,000 in 6 days. Gotta love the BDA and their semantics.
I opted not to buy either BTW.

have gone up significantly, though it could have been how successful the movies well.
