What studio populates the most of your DVD's?
 

With many boxsets counting as 6 discs -I would say with me its Fox with at least 190 and I would guess WB #2 with at least 100.

Warner and those damn crapper snappers... Easily. I just checked my DVDProfiler statistics and it's a more than 2 to 1 advantage for WB over any other studio.

Counting boxsets as one, the top five distributors for me are as followings:

1 Warner Home Video 85
2 Criterion Collection 73
3 Paramount Home Entertainment 67
4 MGM Home Entertainment 52
5 Universal Studios Home Video 50

2. Kino/Image* (60/11.8%)
3. Warner (57/11.2%)
4. MGM/UA (38/7.5%)

9. 20th Century Fox (19/3.7%)
10. Paramount (18/3.5%)

*I realize that Kino Video & Image Entertainment are separate companies, but they've released a number of co-productions, so it was easier to count them as one company

Well, I was going to put the stats down according to my dvd profiler...but then I noticed that it was all messed up because of the word 'Pictures' being listed after the studio name and changing how many were really from there. And it counts box sets as one disc so...it's to much like work to figure it out right now.

1 Warner Home Video 77
2 Universal Studios Home Video 43
3 MGM Home Entertainment 42
4 Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment 31
5 Paramount Home Entertainment 31
6 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment 30
7 Buena Vista Home Entertainment 30
8 Anchor Bay Entertainment 14
9 Artisan Entertainment 11
10 Criterion Collection 11

1 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment 18
2 Warner Home Video 18
3 Universal Studios Home Video 15
4 Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment 12
5 Buena Vista Home Entertainment 11

Quality collection. :thumbsup:

I usually shy away from looking through collections on DVD Profiler because I don't care for their layout, but FilmFanSea has a seriously impressive assortment of titles. :thumbsup:

Anybody find it interesting that, with the exception of FilmFanSea and his remarkable selection of Criterion's, almost everybody else has more Warner releases, generally by a good margin, than any of the other studios?

I'm not even sure where that 54 number comes from in my collection. I only count 36 snappers on my shelf; the rest must be from box sets, but I honestly couldn't tell you which ones -- they're mainly HBO and Fox releases.

M-G-M = 214
Columbia/TriStar = 167
Universal = 164
