DVD sales and rentals are on the rise after a yearslong decline as more people — especially younger cinephiles — rebuild their physical media libraries, Axios San Antonio’s Megan Stringer reports.Case in point: Adult DVD rentals from the San Antonio Public Library have surged 39% since 2022. DVD sales jumped 20% at Half Price Books’ San Antonio locations in the most recent fiscal year.“It’s the hunt, the find, sharing it — it’s all part of the process,” says Matt Dalton of Half Price Books.“There’s a younger generation shopping our stores, and I can see them get excited when they’re flipping through the bins or going through the aisles and finding that thing and holding it up. It’s pretty exciting.”Share this story … Get Axios San Antonio … Find your Axios Local city.
