According to Disney, they have sold 4 million movies and 40-50 million videos through iTunes, resulting in $123 million in revenue.
That sounds like a lot until you consider than Disney has $35 billion in yearly sales and hopes to make $1 billion from digital services this year.
Clearly physical media and other distribution methods still hold a lot of interest for consumers.
(Perhaps the more interesting part of this is the estimate that Disney makes $14.50 from every movie they sell at iTunes. I wonder how much they make from selling physical discs at retailers and to rental chains. If it’s significantly less than the iTunes amount, you can bet that they are going to be pushing hard for electronic distribution simply as a way to grow revenue.)
