DVD revenue seems to be down every week.

[avs commenter]

In 2018, Disney had 8 of the top 15 selling discs for that year. Now in 2022, they only have 2.

It has now been a little over a decade since the passing of our cyber friend Daniel Kostyshak, a.k.a. Kosty. In remembrance of Kosty, I have ordered a group of 10 Memorial Trees to be planted to honor him, signed: Friends at Blu-ray.COM. The certificate:

What a wonderful way to honor his memory! Very nicely done!

I never had the pleasure of knowing him, but I have heard only great things about him.

Thanks Wendell, a very nice gesture.

Digital sales is well more than half of all disc sales. Physical sales looks to cross 1.5 billion by the end of the year so that is still a big enough market to stay in. Another year or two and that might break the 1 billion threshold and could be a tipping point.

Rental sales aren't much which doesn't surprise me since the digital rental prices are high enough where you might as well just buy the movie on your preferred platform if you think you will watch it a second time. Or just catch in streaming.

Streaming at 6 billion a quarter and growing. Yeah, guess where all the companies are going to put their money going forward. I do wonder when that plateau will be. There is only so many services people will buy and spend per month. We will see some consolidation at some point when the smaller services start to fail.

Disney will just do a deal with someone to distribute their discs. Similar to the Criterion deal. They won’t leave money on the table.

BASE/DEGI: U.K. Home Entertainment Market to Top $6 Billion in Revenue by 2025

The U.K. home entertainment market is predicted to grow to £5.5 billion ($6 billion) in consumer spending over the next three years (2025), which includes £2.4 ($2.8 billion) spent on movie sales transactions.

That’s according to a new report, released Sept. 23, from The British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE) and DEGI: The Digital Entertainment Group International (formerly DEG Europe).

The U.K. home entertainment sector was worth £3.3 billion ($3.6 billion) in 2020, and £3.7 billion ($4 billion) in 2021.

In the new report, The Evolution of Home Entertainment Report 2020 – 2025, BASE and DEGI maintain the revenue growth reflects a rise of 114% on pre-pandemic predictions and underscores category optimism showcasing the potential of multiple entertainment formats, distribution channels and access to more than 75,000 transactional titles.

The analyst added that packaged media, notably DVD, remains a cost-effective distribution channel for consumers. Specifically, the retail price of a new movie on DVD is virtually unchanged over the past nine years. Indeed, James Bond fans buying the 2012 release of Skyfall at £9.99 ($10.90) on DVD would also be able to find the 2021 release No Time to Die at the same price.

“Maintaining a strong visible presence for disc in physical retail, and continuing the drive for digital adoption, will ensure the industry navigates challenging economic circumstances whilst recovering from the disruption of the last few years,” Armer wrote.
