New, not used or bargain bin. Is it true that streaming is killing dvd sales? There is a Matt Damon interview where he is eating chicken wings with a guy and he says cratering dvd sales has limited the kind of movies that Hollywood will make. They focus on tentpole movies that have the potential to make hundreds of millions and make fewer medium budget movies than they used to. Those smaller movies would recoup their costs in dvd sales. The last new dvd I bought was Donnie Darko way back in the day, I think. I've been gifted some but I'm not counting those.

I buy the Best Buy steelbooks of every major release I am interested in.
Best Buy barely even sells dvd or bluray anymore. Movie selection has been relegated to one tiny floating rack at the entrance of the store which is also shared with videogame new releases.
Redbox rentals are dead as well. In the last 2 years I have seen someone else use one of them only once. You used to have to stand in line just to return a disc there. Crazy.
What happened to the American Dream? It came true! You're lookin' at it…

It's not right. The dollar stores regularly replace the sold bargain movies with different ones.

I don't think bargain bin sales are as useful in recouping costs. At that point the retailer is trying to make space for different dvds and make a little money back. It won't be ordering more of the bargain dvds. If my understanding of the economics is right.

A long ass time probably 10 years ago. Why doesn't bargain bin count as buying a dvd??

Those are the movies that don't need a boost with dvd sales. I bet that's how it's always been except now more disproportionately skewed towards tentpoles.

I don't streamline so I can only watch movies on TV or disc.
I don't get them very often, maybe 2-4 times a year, because it has to be a movie good enough that I really like and want.
I put quality over quantity and not one of those with hundreds of them.
I think the last time I got DVDs was last summer.

Okay, I think we've got a pretty strong correlation here between buying new dvds and not streaming.

I usually buy bargain bin, but I'll buy
a new one about every 6 weeks. I don't stream.
