generated because Wal-Mart, which typically accounts for more than a

"Wal-Mart accounts for an astonishing 37% of what Hollywood puts on
DVD, a 3% increase in market share over last year, according to NPD

DVDs account for less than 2% of Wal-Mart's sales -- meaning Hollywood
needs Wal-Mart a lot more than Wal-Mart needs Hollywood."
