The MacJury is called to order on the death of iTunes movie purchases, rentals

iTunes finally reaches 1,000 movie mark, a few months late

When the iTunes movie rental service first made its debut, it didn't take very long for someone to point out that the Emperor didn't have any clothes (or in this case, that Steve didn't have many movie rentals). Only 400 or so movies were available when the target date for 1,000 rentals, something that we thought might be due to the slowness of licensing agreements from the movie studios. Apple and the studios seem to have gotten their acts together, though. Macworld found in its most recent checks that the iTunes Store now boasts over 1,000 movie rentals.

Blockbuster beware: iTunes Store gets same-day DVD releases

In January, Apple flipped the switch on movie rentals for the iTunes Store to much fanfare. A lot of customers don't want to own movies, digital downloads are just plain convenient, and the move seemed to finally crack the major studio nut and catch their attention. Since the announcement, the iTunes Store has been slowly but steadily marching towards a respectable selection of films from all the major studios, as well as independents. Despite this new beat in Apple's step, a number of quirks in the iTunes Store's movie offering have annoyed customers. First and foremost was the release delay: films had a 30-day lead time on DVD before arriving in the iTunes Store, and the majority of new releases were only available for rent, not to purchase.

Pre-order sales of Bella DVD Make it #1 Selling Romantic Movie on Amazon.com Over Weekend

May 5, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Confirmed reports of the movie Bella so far saving at least 15 mothers and their babies from abortion has spurred its producers to recently launch their bella 10 campaign. The campaign is an unusual, grassroots targeted promotion strategy designed to give individual fans of the movie lots of practical advice and tools to convince 10 people to order a Bella DVD who would in turn convince 10 others to do the same. The campaign asks the rhetorical question, "Can a movie really save a child's life?" to emphasize that by promoting or even giving away purchased copies of the movie lives will be saved.

Apple Set The Bar Low For iTunes Movie Rentals, But Still Isn't Clearing It

When Apple launched iTunes movie rentals in January, it said it would have 1,000 movies available for rent by the end of February. That's not an impressive number -- Netflix offers 90 times as many. And Apple is falling far short of even that modest goal, according to Macworld.

First, we saw iTunes tagging and purchasing for HD radio tracks, but Apple is casting a wider net for its next tie-in and integrating iTunes with radio stations as a whole.
