DVDs released RIGHT after Christmas/New Year's
 

Anyone else noticing this trend? It started with Fast and Furious several years ago, XXX last year, and now S.W.A.T. and American Wedding this year.

If you forgot, both Fast and Furious and XXX sold like crazy right after the holiday shopping season when they were released. It is an off time after the biggest shopping time of the year, and for some reason these titles sell like no other the week or two after Christmas.

I am predicting huge sales for SWAT and American Wedding when they are released this coming week....

well theres so many people at the stores after christmas to return all the stuff the got and to hunt for deal on leftover crap that didnt sell. There are also so many people that get gift cards for christmas and what better thing to blow it on but a movie?

Don't forget that people got players as gifts and want to buy discs to use with them!

AND foks got giftcards to use up!

I got over $100 worth of giftcards but I use those for older titles I've missed during the year.

Players and Gift Cards are a major sales driver...

Hi,

New DVDs come out every Tuesday.

Welcome to the world of DVD buying.

Thank you.

In the case of Warner's Babylon 5 season 4 (coming 1/6), I think it was a conscious effort to release it after the holidays so their product didn't get lost in the sea of big releases that came out from October through December.
