The movie industry also makes profit off of selling their movie as DVDs. Even though many DVD rental stores going bankrupt because of competitors like Netflix, and On Demand with Dish Satellite, but it is naïve to say that people do not still purchase DVDs or Blu-Rays. As you can see from the chart below when "The Hunger Games" came out on DVD and Blu-Ray it made $107,158,418 dollars in revenue on DVD sales alone. Billions of dollars are made on people purchasing DVD's every year. It is no secret that movie studios make a lot of profit off of DVD sales, especially if they release their films around christmas.
