The Nash Information Services database is now current for BD and DVD sales in the week ending in August 30th of this year. Though Vampire Hunter D’s BD rerelase (with a sprinkling of DVDs on top) didn’t make the top 20 that week, it was in the Nash database, and its average ranking of #177 on amazon ended up translating into 2147 total copies sold (2048 BD+99 DVD).
Thanks to my new amazon data retrieval script, it was easy to track it for an extra week in a crowded month, so we’ll be able to compare these numbers with those for its second week when the Nash DB updates again. This is the first time I’ve gotten hard numbers for a Section 23 release, so that’s an interesting side-note.

Probably a high water mark for Sentai.
Well, movies are different than TV shows and seem to sell better in general due to the lower price. Still, we know 3k is a big hit for them and it passed 3k in the second week alone (Nash updated BD data for that second week this afternoon). It’s at rank ~1000 now, about a month later, and could very conceivably add enough to be a 10k seller within a year.
