Stats about VHS/DVD/Blu Ray sales

Hello,

Are there any statistics about how successfully the Bond movies have been in terms of TV/Rental/ Media Sales and how much revenue came from sources other than ticket sales?

I'd expect that at least the same amount of people who bought a cinema ticket will be buying a DVD/Blu Ray for example.

    Not a chance...I can't see a family of four (for example) each buying a copy...

    I am sure that there are a lot of people who don't see the movie in the cinema buying a DVD instead. That should compensate the mentioned effect somehow.

    Considering the price of a DVD or Blu-ray can cost a little to a lot more than a movie ticket, this probably isn't happening. Most people who kind of want to see the film but didn't will wait until they can watch it on television for free or pay a little for it on demand.

    From Historyofrecordedmediasaleisall.com :
    "...of all the sales of Bond on VHS, CED's, Beta & VHS, DVD's and now Blu Ray one remarkable thing stands out; The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill have consistently outsold all other Bond titles by a margin of almost 3 to 1 making those two films easily as profitable as even the highest grossing Bonds at the Box Office. This indicates a fierce loyalty to Dalton's Bond among the elite fans that know who was really the finest actor to ever portray Fleming's complicated anti-hero."

    HA!! :v :))

    I don't know a place to look at all sales. But I do have a site that shows sales for bluray dvd for the last few films.

    CR: $200M
    QS: $60m
    SF: $100m

    That is true. But luckily for the studios there are idiots like myself who will buy the same movie many times over in various different formats and editions just for extra bonus features etc... 8-)

    I definitely want to get the Blu-ray steelbook, but also want to get a DVD copy so that my DVD collection remains complete.
