Tags: ABC, dvd, DVD/Blu-Ray, Season 6Television shows on DVD may peter out after the first few seasons, but not “Lost.”
The celebrated TV show’s sixth and final season debuted as the top-selling DVD and Blu-ray Disc release the week ending Aug. 29, despite a price tag three times higher than the average new movie.
On the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, “Lost: The Complete Sixth Season,” from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, snatched the top spot from another Disney release, the Miley Cyrus film “The Last Song,” which slipped to No. 3 its sophomore week.
Sony Pictures’ “The Back-Up Plan,” a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez that grossed $37.5 million in theaters, debuted at No. 2, selling 75% as many units as “Lost.”
“Lost” also debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen VideoScan’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, with the newly issued “Lost: The Complete Series” bowing at No. 2, despite a suggested retail price of $279.99.
But then again, Blu-ray Disc and “Lost” seem made for each other, with 20% of all “Lost” season sets sold last week in the high-definition format.
