Retailers Drink 'True Blood'

29 May, 2012
By: John Latchem



As is tradition for the HBO vampire series, retailers offered plenty of deals for True Blood: The Complete Fourth Season.

Target offered the Blu-ray of the season with an exclusive 65-minute cast Q&A.

Best Buy offered an exclusive T-shirt with the purchase of the fourth-season Blu-ray of “True Blood,” and also offered a sampler of the first two episodes of Cinemax’s “Strike Back” with the purchase of any HBO show on disc.

Walmart began offering a special shelf timed for Father’s Day, labeled “Super Star Dad.” The display included dozens of DVDs for as low as $7.50, such as Major League, The Godfather, The Hangover and Sherlock Holmes, and $9.96 titles such as Source Code.

Projections: 'True Blood' Set to Top Charts

4 Jun, 2012
By: John Latchem



Given the immense popularity of HBO’s “True Blood” and the strong performance of previous seasons of the show on disc, there’s no reason to think the fourth season won’t similarly top the DVD and Blu-ray sales charts for the week ending June 3.

The other May 29 new releases, all of which barely made a blip on the box office radar, include Summit’s Man on a Ledge and Gone, Magnolia’s Goon, and
Anchor Bay’s Coriolanus. Ledge and Gone have the best chance at cracking the top five sellers and should top the rental chart as well.

'True Blood' Season-Four Set Debuts Atop the Sales Charts
6 Jun, 2012

True Blood: The Complete Fourth Season

TV DVD is back.

The complete fourth-season set of the hit HBO vampire series “True Blood” debuted at No. 1 on both national home video sales charts the week ended June 3, with the Summit/Lionsgate crime drama Man on a Ledge finishing a distant second.

It was the first double victory for a TV DVD release since season three of “True Blood” came out a year ago.

According to Nielsen, Man on a Ledge sold 30.6% as many units its first week in stores as the pricier “True Blood” boxed set. On Blu-ray Disc, Man on a Ledge sold nearly 40% as many copies. Nielsen data shows that “True Blood” generated 34% of its first-week sales from the Blu-ray Disc version, while the high-definition disc format accounted for 44% of all Man on a Ledge unit sales.

The previous week’s top seller, 20th Century Fox’s Red Tails, slipped to No. 3 on both the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks overall disc sales at most big retailers (except for Walmart and Sam’s Club), and Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart.

While Man on a Ledge bowed at No. 2 on both sales charts, the film, which grossed just $18.6 million in theaters, did manage a No. 1 debut on Home Media Magazine’s video rental chart — followed closely at No. 2 by another Summit/Lionsgate release, the thriller Gone, which earned $11.7 million in theaters.

Blu-ray and DVD YTD YoY Cumulative Revenue Trends Through Week Ending 06/03/12

[Kosty]

We have a pretty good chance to see some improved Blu-ray sales numbers in the next few weeks coming up shortly.

We have some cascading effects from the last two weeks alright sales weeks and last Sunday's True Blood numbers for its release week not yet in the HMM revenue stats show up in the next week's data.

Plus we have The Avenger's Ironman Tony Stark as Sherlock Holmes and two $70 M action adventure movies in Act of Valor and John Carter that should do well on Blu-ray and home video for their genre. Plus Safe House and Journey 2.

True Grit and Battle: Los Angeles did $27.58 M and $35.21 M in the matching comparison weeks last year and not only do we have a year's growth in the Blu-ray user base but the lastest Sherlock Holmes, Act of Valor and John Carter are one more tentpole and stronger Blu-ray genres as well overall.

The numbers for the next couple weeks should make up some ground and really is the first chance to see how Blu-ray will do with major Blu-ray friendly genre titles all year. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol was also pretty strong last month but the revenue results for its release week(s) was a bit unclear as it was virtually alone that month and had nothing to assist in its weeks revenue numbers. That will not be the case in this sequence.
