Astro Boy is #2 on Best-Selling DVD/Blu-Ray list

[gabriel]

Astroboy Dvd Sales are good not only in the Usa. Thanks to the Internet i can show you Canadian top six (I found it accidentally when i was searching something about astroboy with google):

1 - New Moon
2 - Ninja Assassin
3 - Princess and The Frog
4 - Twilight
5 - Astro Boy
6 - 2012.

Astro is conquering North America!

I don't know if the successful DVD sales will help bring about a sequel, but it doesn't hurt.

I have a question about this. Maybe some of you know how it works. For the movie I presume Imagi bought the Astroboy copyright for doing this movie. Now that Imagi is no more active who the heck owns the copyright?

Well, I thought Imagi wasn't dead they're just "outsourcing their animation." I know that's pretty much saying they're on life support, but if the movie's doing well enough for a sequel, is it possible someone could come in and give them another chance?

Of Course not. Everyone already bought the Frog on DVD
Good for Astro Boy though

Looks like our little robot boy is selling well in Canada:

Not bad, ay?

Being beat out in Canada by the Fantastic Mister Fox? Ugh...

Well, Fox was better-reviewed, which gives you an idea of the taste of your average professional movie critic I thought the film was tacky and weird myself.

Maybe Canada's full of furries

sales figures for DVDs and other such merchandise are never released to the public

I can easily get the sales figures. For example these are the sales figures for the United States: in March Astroboy has sold 250.430 units, grossing exactly 4.630.451 million dollars. I thought it would have done better because, unfortunately, these are quite bad numbers.

Well, Fox was better-reviewed

Yes, but this is a box office failure too.
