Just a brief update on the sales, as of March 27 (I think, it's the most recent weekly DVD sales posted), LBT 14 has now crossed the $2 mill mark! It seems to be making steady progress in sales, as it has made $300K since the last time this chart was updated (for the prior week, I think).

It's also worth noting that this coming Tuesday marks the end of the Walmart exclusive period, so now other stores, Amazon, and Redbox will have it too.

It took me a while to figure this out, but I finally have a list!

1.   Journey of the Brave
2.   Journey through the Mists
3.   The Great Valley Adventure
4.   The Mysterious Island
5.   The Big Freeze
6.   Journey to Big Water
7.   The Great Longneck Migration
8.   The Stone of Cold Fire
9.   The Secret of Saurus Rock
10.   The Time of the Great Giving
11.   The Great Day of the Flyers
12.   Invasion of the Tinysauruses
13.   The Wisdom of Friends

Week 2 of sales looks to be pretty good! Only a slight decline of 9% from Week 1 to Week 2, and it charted at 10th (down from 7).

For comparison, Great Day of the Flyers was at 22nd in its second week, and had a 61% drop from Week 1 to Week 2.

Now we have 95,000 sold copies and $1.3 mill after two weeks.

We have some sales numbers now from JOTB's first week! It sold about 50,000 copies and spending on it was about $750,000. I don't really know what this means but here's the link in case anyone's interested.

It's DVD sales were less than The Great Day of Flyers' first week was, but of course that was back in 2007 when there were many more DVD sales and I don't think there was Netflix streaming at that point, so ... Also JOTB debuted at rank #7, while Great Day of the Flyers debuted at #11.

Also for further comparison, it appears that Wisdom of Friends did not chart at all: this was the chart of Wisdom of Friends' first week.

EDIT: It looks as though the Great Day of the Flyers first charted after its general release, it appears not to have charted during its Walmart exclusive time.

Looks like LBT 14's getting a general release date of May 10 for U.S. and Canada.

11 in the Neilson top 20. Is that good or bad considering this is a new release and a Walmart exclusive? I'm assuming this doesn't take streaming services into account?

According to this list there were 22 DVD releases on February 2. LBT 14 was 5th of the new releases on the Nielsen chart, so it seems like it was 5th out of 22nd of the new releases.

Seems the sales are going well -- Journey of the Brave is labeled as a "Best Seller" on the Walmart website!

Is that supposed to be good?

Not sure, but since it does have slightly more pre-orders than The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar at Walmart, which caught me by surprise, as well as having more sales so far than several new Barbie, Thomas, Lego, and Scooby Doo TV shows/movies on preorder, so it looks like at least it's holding its own in relation to other longtime franchises, and being on the second page out of thirteen seems pretty good.

Of course, it is a Walmart exclusive now while most of the others aren't, but also keep in mind that a lot of parents who'll ultimately buy this for their kids probably have no idea that this movie is coming out, and maybe many parents might buy it as an impulse buy when going out to Walmart. Based off what worked with Great Day of the Flyers, I imagine that Walmart will have the exclusive rights to the movie for a few months (which probably gave Universal some profit right there) before the other retailers can start selling it. It still is not even on the Amazon's coming soon section, nor on Target, Best Buy, etc. website, which my guess is it's probably part of the deal they made with Walmart.

Plus, again, there are still quite a few people who have no idea this movie is even coming out, and many are just finding out, as seen from some fairly recent comments on the Facebook and YouTube page:

"Omg is this still going on! what have I missed!!"
"There's going to be a new movie?"
"I didn't think they would make another Land Before Time movie. I can't wait to see it!"
"YES! OH MY GOODNESS YES! MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK!"



And for one really encouraging sign, look how much traffic the LBT 14 trailer on Reba's Facebook page has, along with lots of Reba fans eager to share it with their children/grandchildren in the comments. So there might be a bunch of new buyers there. . If each like on Reba's video buys LBT 14, that's probably almost $200,000 right there.

Just took a look at the sales now on the Walmart site: right now LBT 14 is on the second page out of thirteen in terms of best-selling pre-order movies, and is currently in 14th place for February releases.
