Marek the Jedi Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 According to Nielsen (where the data did not include Walmart) Avatar was #21 on the list just missing the cut for Top 20 Sellers in terms of all time units but it would have made it in terms of revenues generated. Avatar was #21 on the chart with an index of 52 or 52% of Finding Nemo's DVD volume from its one time 2003 release. With Finding Nemo due out next year that will probably be a monster catalog title for Blu-ray and/or DVD sales. Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl was also just behind Finding Nemo , but its been re-released at least 4 times individually. If boxed sets were included for POTC CBP it probably would be #1 beating Finding Nemo but Nielsen Videoscan doesn't combine data like that. http://forums.highdefdigest.com/high-definition-smackdown/112109-2011-blu-ray-sales-metrics-stats-weekly-hmm-nielsen-videoscan-quarterly-rentrak-deg-623.html#post2271198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdevidem01 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Wow surprising list.Very pleased to see The Phantom Menace on there, more proof the vast majority enjoyed the film and wanted to own it forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The main problem with this data is it does not include numbers from Walmart. No question Walmart numbers will change this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to find out that they don't include Walmart's numbers. The same with music. I don't know why that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 surprised The Matrix isn't on there, no it is probably close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 how many blu rays did Avatar sell? I mean the DVD sales for Avatar don't seem that spectacular for a film that made 700M so I am guessing it made it up on Blu ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I wonder if you factor in VHS what movies would be on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 So glad to see some of my all-time favorite films on the list, specially The Dark Knight, also, it's so shocking and amazing to find 4 Pixar films on the top 20, and Nemo as the best-seller!

CassLX Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I wonder if you factor in VHS what movies would be on the listI only know that TLK would be #1. It is the best selling home video of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 This index list looks very dubious. How do they aggregate over weeks? Is a DVD with a large advatage over few weeks higher on the list than a DVD with small sells over a longer period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Where's Revenge of the Sith? I though it sold like 14-15m DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a DVD with a large advatage over few weeks higher on the list than a DVD with small sells over a longer period?No they are the ones with all the data. For example when a re-entry enters the list again the total is updated, if they didn't know how much it sold, how could they update the total? They just don't like to make it public.

Rudolf Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I can't help it these list look like charts to me. I think no one really knows how much this movies sold. All they have is weekly lists of how well a movie has done relative to the market. Then they compile these (giving score points or similar, christmas shopping gets more weight- what ever). A movie like AVATAR could have sold exceptional high numbers in a short time and just finishing outside the top 20 for a long time and thus scoring low chart values, while in reality having outsold all the others.

redfirebird2008 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah, not too surprised about the Notebook. Pretty surprised about Avatar not being higher on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Apart from TPM, why are there no movies from before 2000?Because it doesn't include VHS sales. If it did, the likes of Titanic would be on there. Probably Jurassic Park, Lion King, Wizard of Oz, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Also DVD sales only took off in like, 2001? 2002 definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
