Waiting for the biggest drop of all time after Best Buy gets rid of them.

That’s light years behind Walmart (45%), Amazon (14%), and, to a lesser extent, even Target (6%).
4% ain’t nothin’, but especially considering that a big chunk of that 4% will buy elsewhere, I doubt the impact will be anything seismic. There’s only a real drop if Best Buy customers stop buying DVDs/BDs/UHDs altogether.

I wonder when Target will drop movies. Can’t be too far off. I also think there could be a day when Amazon stops selling physical movies themselves and just relies on the 3rd party marketplace for that.

Target’s already been rumored to be dropping movies. They’re no longer featured up front in what’s left of the “entertainment section,” RECORDS now are.

More likely amazon will just drop the stuff collecting dust that is hardly moving. Like an extreme mercenary middleman.

As far as I can tell, VEI released titles are no longer showing up at nearby wallymarts, costcos, etc ... Almost all of their current titles listed on amazon, is through amazon's fulfillment program. Awhile ago I ordered the Silk Stalkings complete series dvd set from VEI's fulfillment shop on amazon. (ie. VEI's inventory stored at one of amazon's fulfillment warehouses, where orders are handled similarly to other amazon owned inventory).

As long as they're making DVDs, Blu-rays, and UHDs, Amazon will carry them.
They're still selling CDs.

CDs are still selling well overseas, in UK and especially in Japan.
So these days, that's where I've been importing my CDs from. Shipping costs ain't great, but much cheaper for CDs than it is for vinyl.

Japan’s always had better taste than anyone else. Laserdiscs were most popular over there.

Barbie was the #1 seller. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, in its second week, was #2. Haunted Mansion, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Prey (in its third week), and Evangelion: 3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time followed. Barbie's sales nearly doubled the number of units of Rise of the Beasts. Evangelion only moved 14% as many copies as Barbie, but that was still enough for #6. (Link!)
A year earlier, the top titles were Bullet Train, Thor: Love and Thunder (despite having been out for several weeks), Hocus Pocus, and Beast (in its second week). (Link!)

For as big as Barbie was in theatres, it seems to have made a very small splash in the physical media pond.

So with the Cameron films coming out in 2024 we can expect sales like in the mid 1990's, right?

Plus it was on digital for several weeks before the discs came out. Because, you know, that’s what everyone prefers.(sarcasm)

The anime market is now one of the biggest sellers in terms of total dollars in physical media. Collectors want to own their anime for the most part.
