Purple Violets makers happy with iTunes distribution experiment

From the article about Ed Burns's Purple Violets & iTunes in Stream:

"Can you elaborate on how much money it made?

I can't, because iTunes is very concerned with not releasing that information, but a pretty sizable number of people have purchased it. I can tell you that in the first three or four weeks, it was the second-most downloaded title after Pirates of the Caribbean, out of 600 titles at that point. This was in November, so for several weeks, we were right up there with huge, mainstream studio movies. Five or six weeks later, we fell out of the top ten, but it's still being downloaded."
