A friend and I are looking into starting a business and after a lot of reading, I now know that Entertainment One is then primary , if not the only distributor in Canada for new dvd.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to find much info on what they charge per new release. Can some kind-soul give me a few tidbits of info.  Some posts I have said it's cheaper to go to Walmart and buy retail while others prefer distributors.  Can someone give me some prices that you are paying for copies? 
Great site by the way, extremely informative.  A Godsend really

With Entertainment One it will really depend on what kind of a % discount you can haggle out of them.  If you buy a lot of stuff you'll get a better discount.  It's been a while since I dealt with them, but I think I had finally managed to pull off a 28% discount by telling them I was switching to Hip Interactive (out of business now unfortunately) if they didn't give me a better discount.  Even at 28%, I could still go to Zellers and get my movies $1 or $2 cheaper (didn't have a Walmart in the area at the time)

Average movie was costing me around $25 to $27.
