LodgeNet's interactive network of over 9,000 hospitality locations provides more customers with on demand entertainment than any other service focused on the hospitality industry. Over the past year, LodgeNet's platform has grown considerably through organic expansion and the acquisition of On Command. Given the scope of its current room base, LodgeNet is the leader in providing on demand entertainment to the market, and its list of top selling titles is the most accurate gauge of performance in that market.

The most-viewed video on demand movies in properties served by LodgeNet during the year were:

1. Knocked Up
2. Borat
3. Night at the Museum
4. Wild Hogs
5. 300
6. The Bourne Ultimatum
7. Casino Royale
8. The Departed
9. Live Free or Die Hard
10. Ghost Rider


LodgeNet also announced that Warner Bros. was the top performing studio for 2007. The studio edged out Universal, who released the year's top selling title, Knocked Up, and also surpassed last year's winner, Twentieth Century Fox.

"Warner Bros. consistently creates popular, high-quality films, and offered travelers an extraordinary variety of themes and genres with perfect timing this year," said William M. Coleman, Vice President Studio Relations and Film Licensing Worldwide for LodgeNet. "Key titles from Warner Bros. in 2007 included: Academy Award winner The Departed, Happy Feet, 300, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Ocean's 13, and Music & Lyrics. We congratulate Warner Bros. on their success over the past year."
