From NYTimes "As DVD Sales Slow, Hollywood Hunts for a New Cash Cow" 6/13/2006:

• For movies that gross more than $100 million at the box office, 84 percent of DVD sales are in the first six weeks after their release
• Comcast, the country's largest cable company, lets its subscribers view 7,500 free movies and programs, and since 2004, they have watched them two billion times.
• Studios earn $17.26 for each DVD they sell, but only $2.37 for movies on demand and $2.25 per DVD rented, according to Tom Adams, the president of Adams Media Research. [NB-I think $17.26 is for front-catalog discs]
