The amazing story of HBO’s True Blood just doesn’t stop. From DVD’s that topped the weekly sales to setting new series high in viewers every week, this week up to 5.332 million — it’s an impressive tale.
Last week True Blood scored 4.46 million so the week over week growth is almost 20 percent (19.55 percent).
True Blood was the #3 show on cable for the week. And when you consider that HBO is only in about 1/3rd of the homes most basic cable networks have access to, that’s impressive. Will it get to Sopranos style impressive? It’s certainly trending in that direction. The Sopranos was often the #1 show on all of cable, despite being available in relative few homes.
And, the amazing story of success for the first season of True Blood on DVD continues. For the week ending August 16, 2009, True Blood was the top selling TV show DVD. It was a slow week without many new releases, but still, True Blood raked in an additional $1.59 million and is approaching $46 million in sales.
On a revenue basis True Blood is the 11th best selling DVD of the season. The only other TV show in the top 50 is 24, which is now #50 (and falling, and the list we see ends at 50, so…) with $18.184 million in sales.
