whats the bet that the next moive will be about sheba.

Umm . . . who's Sheba?

I doubt the fourth (and hopefully the end of the saga) movie will be about Aleu or whoever the heck "Sheba" is.

It would be nice to check on Aleu's progress, but I don't think it would happen . . . .

Steele returning . . . love to see that . . . .

More pups? Please, God no.

Nuff said.

As you can see, Balto 3 isn't even in the top 20 while Land before time 11 is ranked 6th...
The ranking from dvdexclusive hasn't much changed though (as of june 05) :

TOP DVD PREMIERE MOVIES: YEAR-TO-DATE
Rank Title (label/distributor) Street Date Revenue
1 MULAN 2 (DIS) 2/1/2005 59.5
2 TARZAN 2 (DIS) 6/14/2005 23.1

14 CONTROL (SONY) 2/16/2005 5.8
15 POKEMON: DESTINY DEOXYS (DIS) 2/15/2005 5.6

Now, I'm becoming pessimistic about a Balto 4, and particularly about the future of this license...

I'm afraid that Balto 2 did sold much better...This is not good at all...

Barbie got 2nd place :shock:

, I've seen that movie on Nick and it was really bad for a Barbie movie.

Vikingwolf · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2005 7:00 am

As you've told me,Balto is not a famous and hot movies at all,it can't offer much money ,so I am afraid they wouldn't make Balto4.
Ps:Steet,are you interest making lists at this time?

steet · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2005 9:21 am

Making lists? What do you mean?

Night Fox · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:47 am

Lately you've been making lots of lists like the one for all those animated movies, keywords for finding Balto Source, and this list just made on DTV rankings.

steet · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:11 am

Err...yes, but I didn't write any of them myself. This is just a coincidence :roll:

Night Fox · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:17 am

Well that changes the story a bit but still, who posts them? :roll:

steet · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2005 12:34 am

Aaahhh! I have other sales figures, and these ones are much better :

Adams Media Research has reported the top 10 direct-to-video titled for the first quarter of 2005. Leading the pack in total units sold and rental revenue was Disney’s MULAN II with 56.8 million. In a distant second was Lions Gate’s BARBIE: FAIRYTOPIA garnering $17.4 million. Following that was Universal’s BALTO III: WINGS OF CHANGE, rounding up $14. 2 million. The rest of the top included Warner Bros.’ SCOOBY-DOO: ALOHA SCOOBY-DOO! ($7.5 million), Buena Vista/Miramax’s POKEMON: DESTINY DEOXYS ($6.1 million), Buena Vista’s THE CAT RETURNS($3.4 million), First Look’s EASTER EGG ADVENTURE ($2.8 million), Warner Bros.’ TOM AND JERRY: BLAST OFF TO MARS ($2.3 million) and Lions Gate’s LIL’ PIMP ($600,000).

So according to these numbers, Balto 3 was third with 14.2$ millions generated by sales and rentals. However, these charts are only for the first quarter of 2005, while the others were for the first semester.
But it's still much better

14.2$ millions divided by 15$ (price of release), that makes nearly 1 million of units sold in the US only...Not so bad!
But it's still strange that those charts are so different one from each other...
