DVD started off slowly. Rosy predictions of hundreds of movie titles for
Christmas of 1996 failed to materialize. Only a handful of DVD titles,
mostly music videos, were available in Japan for the November 1996 launch of
DVD. The first feature films on DVD appeared in Japan on December 20 (The
Assassin, Blade Runner, Eraser, and The Fugitive from Warner Home Video). By
April there were over 150 titles in Japan. The first titles released in the
U.S., on March 19, 1997, by Lumivision, authored by AIX Entertainment, were
IMAX adaptations: Africa: The Serengeti, Antarctica: An Adventure of a
Different Nature, Tropical Rainforest, and Animation Greats. (Other movies
such as Batman and Space Jam had been demonstrated earlier, but were not
full versions available for sale.) The Warner Bros. U.S. launch followed on
March 24, but was limited to seven cities. Almost 19,000 discs were
purchased in the first two weeks of the US launch -- more than expected.
