Blu-ray, DVD Video Rentals and Disc Sales Continue to Decline

Digital movie purchases surged 47% last year to $1.19 billion, according to data released by Digital Entertainment Group. It was the fastest-growing category as total home-entertainment revenue inched up 0.7% to $18.22 billion.

Digital online growth just barely made up for ongoing declines in sales and rentals of physical discs. The total U.S. home-entertainment market remains well below its peak of more than $22 billion 2004.
