Now these were only the First Two Weeks of Sales for each season. But I think it speaks volumes on how profitable it is for WB. What each Season made it it's first two weeks of sales was probably a quarter of those respective Season's budgets, when you factor in what the CW (CBS & The WB) make on commericals during it.
That's the power of the gag reel...Lol
ReplyDeleteWow. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's thanks to us,the most dedicated and hardcore fanbase ever in existence. ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch modesty...Lol
ReplyDeleteIt's all us fans that buy at least 2 copies of each season - one guarded and treasured that no one else gets to touch. The other to pass around in hopes of recruiting others to the show. :-)
ReplyDeleteCool to see some numbers. thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Nice!
ReplyDeleteBahhaa!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant! Although I'd love to get my hands on the cumulative profit for each season up till now, because if the initial two weeks are this amazing, imagine what the gross sales have been like! Makes me happy just thinking about it.
