Weekly OAR vs. MAR Sales - 01/02/04 (1 Viewer)

Happy New Year

These stats go back a few weeks. There was not another Video Business update until last night

Coming in at number 1 was the OAR only "Pirates of the Carribbean"

Number 2 was "Seabiscuit" WS. P&S only made 14. I was actually surprised to see such a gap, although I am not sure if the WS only Deluxe Edition is being lumped into the results or being treated separately

Number 3 was "Freaky Friday" Both versions are available on that disc

Number 4 was "Bad Boys II" No MAR release

Number 5 was "Finding Nemo" Both versions are available in same package

Number 6 was "League of Extrodinary Gentleman" WS. P&S was number 15

Numner 7 was "Bruce Almighty" WS P&S is at number 20

Number 8 was "X-Men 2" WS. P&S has fallen off the top 20

Number 9 was "National Lampoons X-Mas Vacation" P&S version is OOP

Number 10 was "The Two Towers" WS. P&S has fallen off the top 20

Number 11 was " A Christmas Story" Both versions are available in the same package

Number 12 was "Indiana Jones" WS. P&S has fallen off the top 20

Number 13 was "The Two Towers" EE. No MAR release

Number 16 was "It's a Wonderful Life"

Number 17 was "Scarface" WS. P&S has fallen off the top 20

Number 18 was "T3 - Rise of the Machines" P&S has fallen off the top 20

Number 20 was "Lara Croft - Cradle of Life" P&S has fallen off the top 20

Looks like the OAR only releases of "Pirates" and "Bad Boys II" are doing quite well. P&S IS NOT NECESSARY TO SELL DVDs!!

Once again - Best wishes to all in 2004

More proof that studios who put out MAR only titles are missing out on sales (you listening Columbia????!!!)

This is great news! Perhaps the studios can make a New Year's Resolution to do just OAR. Has J6P seen the light? I got Seabiscuit for Christmas and we used that disc to demo my dad's new DVD player. In the process, I educated half the family on OAR because they didn't understand it. I got the typical "Wow, that is a lot missing" comments. It was great!

This is great news. Perhaps the educated are defeating the Dark Side that is joe-6 pack. :wink:
