“The format has done well in its early stages,” commented Ray Gagnon, Sr. Vice President Sales for Anchor Bay Entertainment. “Our demographics match up very nicely with those of the PSP adapter and as such, we are confident our films will be successful on the UMD format. This slate is only the beginning from our company.”
All of the titles in the first release launch are noted for their strong and consistent sales. Both Halloween and Evil Dead are annual best-sellers.
Anchor Bay Entertainment offers an expansive selection of award-winning, notable theatrical films including “Time Bandits” and “Halloween,” classic television programming such as “Three’s Company,” “Highlander” and much of the Stephen J.
