The total number of video copies shipped by shawshank was how many?
The Shawshank Redemption
Despite its disappointing box office return, Warner Bros. shipped 320,000 rental video copies throughout the United States, and it became one of the top rented films of 1995. The film's home viewing success was considered to be based on positive recommendations and repeat customers. The film's Academy Award nominations enabled it to fare well in the video sales and cable TV viewings. In June 1997, TNT, an American cable network, showed the film for the first time. The film was the first feature in TNT's "Saturday Night New Classics". A 2004 "Sunday Times" article suggested that TNT aired the film frequently from then on, about once every two months. TV airings of the film accrued record breaking numbers.
