Author Topic: Percent of DVD Sales at Full and Discount Price Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-15-2004 12:15 AM                     With WalMart having had huge bins of older DVDs at 2 for $10 and 3 for $12 or $13 for more than a year and Best Buy and Circuit City and others following suit, it makes one wonder what percent of them are sold full price. Anybody know?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Sometimes you'll find some pretty good titles in there. Generally, the really good top-shelf movies get released and released again repeatedly on DVD. The old versions do get discounted down to lower prices (like the $10 to $15 range), but that's usually after the title has been around for quite some time. I'm sure New Line is has made all their money from "The Mask," and selling copies of it for $8.88 isn't going to hurt them much.  |  IP: Logged
