While the post-Oscar theatrical release of Spirited Away has run out of steam at around $10 million in gross box office revenues (according to Box Office Mojo), the Miyazaki Oscar-winner continues to generate sales through DVD and PPV, keeping interest high. We've been told that VideoScan is reporting sales of around 250,000 copies of the DVD, and that at VideoScan's normal percentage of the market (60%), the film is at over 400,000 units sold. This puts the DVD revenue well over the theatrical release, and bodes well for continued interest in the merchandise. The DVD is also been in the top fifteen titles in the Video Business bestseller list, the only anime title on that list. Spirited Away is also going into PPV distribution in June. The color manga from Viz, the color art book, and the children's book are all available.
