Video Sales Statistics by Title Can't Post
Hi,
I'm looking for information about total video sales for individual videos which are also feature films. For example, "Run Lola Run." How many videos has it sold (vs just the top ten selling videos). Anyone know of a source of this information?
I tried IMDB but didn't see it and also
http://www.billboard.com
http://www.convergentdata.com/data/data.htm
http://www.boxoff.com/
http://www.videobusiness.com
but didn't find what I was looking for.
In particular, I'm also looking for any information on how well video rights and video sales compare to box office sales for features.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Peter,
See the video/DVD section in Amazon.com. They rank videos and
other products by sales. While you won't learn how many copies
of Gone With The Wind they've sold, you will learn where that
video ranks compared to other videos they sell.
The Amazon list includes not only feature films, but also
non-fiction videos. This listing may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's virtue is that the list is
"up to the minute" unlike other such lists which are
outdated the moment they're published.
I'm writing a new book on the subject of special interest videos, but for more information on the feature film business see
Variety Magazine (variety.com) I believe their "Variety By
the Numbers" is the most definitive sales lists for features.
Hope this helps.
