PR Newswire - September 28, 1998 16:59
Initial Inventory to Include 60 of Image's Top Exclusive Titles
CHATSWORTH, Calif., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Image Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: DISK), the largest independent distributor of DVD and laserdisc programming, today announced that Navarre Corporation (Nasdaq: NAVR), an entertainment distribution company based in Minneapolis, will supply 60 of Image's top exclusive DVD titles to CompUSA (NYSE: CPU), one of the nation's leading retailers and resellers of personal computers and related products and services.
"Image Entertainment's new relationship with Navarre is consistent with our strategy to distribute our DVD titles to outlets beyond traditional video retailers. Navarre has helped Image to dramatically expand its distribution by teaming with CompUSA, a non-traditional video retail outlet. By increasing Image's DVD distribution through CompUSA stores and by offering a wide selection of Image's exclusive DVD titles, Image has gained a new opportunity to increase its consumer market share," said Martin W. Greenwald, president and CEO of Image Entertainment, Inc.
"Since it has been projected that 8 million DVD-ROM drives capable of playing DVD video will be installed in PCs by the end of the year, CompUSA's support of DVD video makes perfect sense. Image is delighted to be involved at the onset of DVD's growth within the non-traditional video marketplace," continued Greenwald.
Since the launch of the DVD format in 1997, Image Entertainment has released 142 exclusive DVD titles. There are nearly 1,500 DVD titles available and it is projected that nearly 2,000 titles will be released by year's end. Based on total number of DVD titles released, Image ranks third among all licensing and distribution companies. Image's exclusive DVD titles include such popular movies as DANCES WITH WOLVES, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and the original TERMINATOR.
