Why are DVDs released on Tuesdays?


Search: why are dvds released on tuesdays

Why: I just saw a commercial for both Purina Puppy Chow and the "Marley & Me" DVD.

Answer: A bunch of reasons:
  • Sales Figures are released on Monday
  • If a Tuesday release is selling well, there still is time to order more before the weekend.
  • Shipments of music usually begin to arrive in stores on Thursday. That gives the stores time to coordinate special midnight sales on Monday evening, as opposed to Sunday, which is usually a shorter work day

The More You Know: Tomorrow's releases will include "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Seven Pounds," which is actually really great.
