A lot of people doubted Apple when it announced it would sell movies through iTunes, and many criticized the small offering of only 75 movies, but Apple has succeeded once again.
In the first week of movie sales, Apple says it sold 125,000 movies for a total of $1 million. The downloads were such a huge success that Disney CEO Robert Iger says Disney will likely sell $50 million in downloads in its first year alone.
What a great "I told you so" to all the people who doubted the Almighty Steve.
