Star Wreck downloaded 500,000 times
...so says Taneli Tikka, the CEO of Magenta, who's hosting the downloads of Star Wreck.
So, within five days of its release, it is already a Finnish superhit. In fact, the 10th most watched film ever in Finland had only 750 965 viewers. Though of course, we're talking about apples and oranges here: SES only measures box office, and the movies have been screened in TV countless times.
But still, it cannot be refuted that Star Wreck is one of the most popular Finnish movies of all time. Using practically nothing but internet distribution, in five days. If this is not a clear signal on how the Internet is really changing the traditional entertainment industry, I don't know what is...
Update: Thu Oct 06, 2005 09:31 the count is at 596165 downloads. Wow.
