Stuff wrote:Okay, so it's a DVD, huh? Who's going to purchase it for the eventual ponyday stream?I think it should be Grue. He does seem like he's the biggest fan of the movie.
EquestriaGuy wrote:It's 66 minutes long, meaning it's length has been formatted for commercials breaks over a 90 minute block. There is a legitimate argument that it won't air on TV, if the basis for that argument is that EQG doesn't appear on The Hub's programming schedule through Winter 2014, but then again this is a non prime time made for TV movie, so it may not have been important enough to mention. If they want to give this real publicity, and get their new IP off on a strong footing, then they'll air it on TV and release it on DVD shortly after.

You, uh, you might want to rehost that image there.

MLP grew more than 30% year over year, which is a moderate deceleration from the 50% average it posted over 2012 but obviously still very good. MLP paced the Girls category to 26% growth, which in combination with growth in the Games category (mostly from MtG) managed to barely offset a big decline in the Boys category due to weakness in Beyblade and Star Wars compared to last year. As a result, Hasbro overall saw 2% annual revenue growth and 47% operating profit growth minus restructuring costs.
One thing I found interesting is that LPS didn't demonstrate any growth despite show support and an apparently popular companion app. I'm guessing Hub's viewership is just too low to provide a meaningful push when there isn't a massive internet presence supporting it. I wonder if Hasbro's experience with LPS might help to explain why they haven't done anything to the S3 videos that are all over Youtube.
EquestriaGuy wrote:Well Youtube is owned by Google, which has Google Play. Google Play has MLP S1 and 2 up there, which is why they go after S1 and 2, and not 3. Once S3 goes up there, if it hasn't already, youtube will probably go after those episodes as well.
