Below is a list of all of the previous reports Peter has written for The DVD Report. His reports are published weekly and will be collated into a single month's file.

Update Notification

With the new layout of the front page of this site, certain areas of this page will no longer be updated. I will no longer be posting Sales and Rentals ranking. I've gone back and forth on this aspect over the years and while it had become increasingly easy for me to track them lately (wish my spreadsheet), I just felt that they would get lost in the shuffle and one less thing to update every week does make things easier. Other than that, the information in the sidebar at the right will continue to be updated each week as usual. The DVD Report pages above will likewise be continuously updated. However, all "Updates" (with one exception) will be posted to the front page of the site and archived there. The aforementioned exception is the New Releases list, which will continue to be updated and the past lists being stored below.

Old is good as new on CD this week.

-Peter Patrick (November 10, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: November 1, 2009

This is the season of the blockbusters. Following up Transformer 2's top spot debut is Ice Age.

-Wesley Lovell (November 10, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: October 25, 2009

Another shocking top spot finish for Transformers 2.

November 3, 2009

Christmas comes early to Blu-ray while crime reigns supreme in box sets.

-Peter Patrick (November 3, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: October 25, 2009

I'm so surprised Transformers 2 topped the chart. Shocking, I say.

-Wesley Lovell (November 3, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: October 18, 2009

It's like home video owners felt the same way as home video renters. Needless to say, Will Farrell's failure is modestly satisfying.

October 27, 2009

Something new, something old and something Blu.

-Peter Patrick (October 27, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: October 18, 2009

Two new releases this week fought for the top spot and the romcom beat out the dumbcom. The Proposal proved that its box office meant more than the box office for Land of the Lost.

-Wesley Lovell (October 27, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: October 11, 2009

A second week at the top makes for a harsh first week for the box office dud Year One.

-Wesley Lovell (October 27, 2009)

Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown.

-Peter Patrick (October 20, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: October 11, 2009

At least Year One has somewhere it can succeed. After crashing and burning at the box office, the prehistoric "road trip" comedy takes the top spot on the rental chart.

-Wesley Lovell (October 20, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: October 4, 2009

Either househoulds are weary of buying every special edition that comes out each year for old films or Monsters vs. Aliens was really that popular. It managed to top the 70th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz on the sales chart.

-Wesley Lovell (October 20, 2009)

DVD New Releases: October 20, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (October 20, 2009)

October 13, 2009

Snow White, Miracle on 34th Street and more.

-Peter Patrick (October 13, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: October 4, 2009

Kids bolster this week's numbers with the release of Monsters vs. Aliens at the top of the rentals chart.

-Wesley Lovell (October 13, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: September 27, 2009

Hugh Jackman trumps Matthew McConaughey as Ghosts of Girlfriends Past fails to break the Wolverine's hold on the top of the sales chart.

-Wesley Lovell (October 13, 2009)

DVD New Releases: October 13, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (October 13, 2009)

October 6, 2009

Walking down memory lane with The Wizard of Oz.

-Peter Patrick (October 6, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: September 27, 2009

The romcom Ghosts of Girlfriends Past topples X-Men on the rental chart. But can it make a similar transition to the sales chart?

-Wesley Lovell (October 6, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: September 20, 2009

It's no surprise that X-Men: Origins: Wolverine topped the sales chart or that the latest Barbie video came in second.

-Wesley Lovell (October 6, 2009)

DVD New Releases: October 6, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (October 6, 2009)

September 29, 2009

New TV and old movies now on DVD.

-Peter Patrick (September 29, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: September 20, 2009

After two weeks at number one, the non-surprising conclusion of this week's race is that X-Men: Origins: Wolverine topped the list.

-Wesley Lovell (September 29, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: September 13, 2009

State of Play drops dramatically this week, falling to #6 while the first TV show I can remember tops the list: The Office (5).

-Wesley Lovell (September 29, 2009)

DVD New Releases: September 29, 2009

Fame x3, Wayne x8 and Newman x13.

-Peter Patrick (September 22, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: September 13, 2009

There were no updates at the time of posting. Above is the reconstruction of the missing list.

-Wesley Lovell (September 22, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: September 6, 2009

Carryovers are fun. State of Play tops the sales chart. Heroes, despite losing ground in the ratings and shedding fans like a snake's skin, still managed to debut at number 2.

-Wesley Lovell (September 22, 2009)

DVD New Releases: September 15, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (September 22, 2009)

September 15, 2009

New DVDs galore from the French at their best to Disney at its worst.

-Peter Patrick (September 15, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: September 6, 2009

Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck top this week's rental chart with little surprise. The rest of the top 10 is similarly uneventful.

-Wesley Lovell (September 15, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: August 30, 2009

And Hannah Montana sticks the top for a second week and Fighting manages to outdo Duplicity.

-Wesley Lovell (September 15, 2009)

DVD New Releases: September 15, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (September 15, 2009)

September 8, 2009

Musings on a dozen new DVD releases.

-Peter Patrick (September 8, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: August 30, 2009

Clive Owen and Julia Roberts bring their romantic film Duplicity to the top of the rental charts besting Fighting.

-Wesley Lovell (September 8, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: August 23, 2009

As I suggested last week, Hannah Montana: The Movie was the top seller this week largely because those who plan to own don't rent. The Last House on the Left came in second while a series of new TV series releases filled up most of the new spots in the top 10, including a boffo debut of Dexter: Season 3 at #3.

-Wesley Lovell (September 8, 2009)

DVD New Releases: September 8, 2009

September 1, 2009

This week on DVD: movies or TV, take your pick.

-Peter Patrick (September 1, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: August 23, 2009

Why would you rent a movie you intend to buy? That is the only explanation for Hannah Montana to open a distant fourth while The Last House on the Left opens on top. This position will be reversed when the sales numbers are revealed.

-Wesley Lovell (September 1, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: August 16, 2009

And this is the result I expected on the rentals chart last week. 17 Again dominates the tween market leaving I Love You, Man in the dust.

-Wesley Lovell (September 1, 2009)

DVD New Releases: September 1, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (September 1, 2009)

August 25, 2009

Comedy and drama both old and new this week.

-Peter Patrick (August 25, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: August 16, 2009

The surprise here is that the sophomoric comedy I Love You, Man beat out the teen situational comedy, one led by a former High School Musical alum. These top positions may reverse on the sales chart, but it's certainly of note.

-Wesley Lovell (August 25, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: August 9, 2009

A result much more in line with my expectations. Apparently parents don't rent much anymore, but they do buy outright propelling Race to Witch Mountain ahead of Obsessed to top the sales chart. Meanwhile, it's such a dull week for releases that three films (positions 8, 9 and 10) are filled with DVD releases from 2005.

-Wesley Lovell (August 25, 2009)

DVD New Releases: August 25, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (August 25, 2009)

August 18, 2009

The new and the old among new DVD releases.

-Peter Patrick (August 18, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: August 9, 2009

The surprise here is that Race to Witch Mountain has failed the family film pattern and come in second to stalker flick Obsessed.

-Wesley Lovell (August 18, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: August 2, 2009

Knocking Watchmen off the top of the sales chart was fairly quick considering it was surmounted by Fast & Furious, hardly a thinkable conclusion considering their respective box office takes.

-Wesley Lovell (August 18, 2009)

DVD New Releases: August 18, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (August 18, 2009)

August 11, 2009

17 great films still missing on DVD.

-Peter Patrick (August 11, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: August 2, 2009

One teen fanboy movie was supplanted by another. Fast & Furious toppled Watchmen for the rental chart crown.

-Wesley Lovell (August 11, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: July 26, 2009

Carrying over to the sale chart, Watchmen leads a lackluster list with plenty of TV series, which indicates either popularity among the shows or a weak week.

-Wesley Lovell (August 11, 2009)

DVD New Releases: August 11, 2009

-Wesley Lovell (August 11, 2009)

August 4, 2009

A little something that's new and a lot that's old but still good among this week's DVD releases.

-Peter Patrick (August 4, 2009)

Top DVD Rentals: July 26, 2009

Like no one could see that coming. A modest hit earlier this year, Watchmen proved undefeatable in its Rentals debut. I fully expect that result to carry through to the sales chart as well.

-Wesley Lovell (August 4, 2009)

Top DVD Sales: July 19, 2009

Knowing was not able to hold the top of the sales chart for a second week like it did the rentals, so The Haunting in Connecticut claims the crown. The rest seem to have just shifted down with the previous installments of recent blockbusters surge back into the Top 10 (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Transformers).
