DVD Sales: Latest Twilight Can't Eclipse Predecessors

December 15th, 2010

The best new release of the week didn't actually come out this week. This is because The Twilight Saga: Eclipse wasn't released on Tuesday like the rest of the new releases, but on the weekend. Despite having fewer days to sell DVDs, it still topped the sales chart with 2.39 million units / $43.06 million; however, this was lower than the opening sales of its predecessors, both of which had the same release strategy.

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for November 30th, 2010

November 29th, 2010

This is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which means it is the day after Cyber Monday and the end of the busiest gift buying weekend of the year. So it should come as no surprise that there's a bit of a lull when it comes to DVD / Blu-ray releases. In fact, the biggest selling film of the week doesn't come out till Saturday. There are still more than a few releases that are worth checking out, including this week's Pick of the Week, Fantasia / Fantasia 2000 on Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack. However, there is no real depth to this week's list and the drop from top tier to second tier is fast and steep. More...

Featured Blu-ray / DVD Review: Fantasia / Fantasia 2000

November 27th, 2010

Disney studio has been making animated films longer than any other studio in the world. One of the very earliest feature-length animated films they made was Fantasia, which was not so much a film as it was a compilation of short films set to classical music. It was Walt Disney's original intent that Fantasia would be an annual event and that every year one segment would be retired and a new one would be added in. However, its initial run was not as financially successful as the studio had hoped, and it took 60 years for that idea to came to fruition with Fantasia 2000. Now a decade after its sequel hit theaters, the two films are coming out on Blu-ray for the first time on a 4-disc combo pack. More...
