The image is a bar graph that displays the annual number of rentals and sales (in various formats) of films from a particular store between 2002 and 2011. The vertical axis represents the annual number of rentals/sales, ranging from 0 to 250,000. The horizontal axis represents the years, ranging from 2002 to 2011. Four types of film formats are shown: Rentals, VHS sales, DVD sales, and Blu-ray sales. Each year has four bars representing the number for each format. The bars for rentals are consistently the tallest across all years, with a slight decline from 2002 to 2011. VHS sales start from a considerable number in 2002, with a steep decline to almost negligible by 2011. DVD sales show an upward trend until 2005, remain relatively stable until 2009, and then display a slight decrease in 2010 and 2011. Blu-ray sales start from zero in 2002, show a small increase in 2006, and then a significant upward trend from 2007 onwards, reaching a peak in 2011. Specific numerical data points or percentages are not visible; however, the trends and relative comparisons between formats and over the years are clear.

The bar chart depicts the yearly number of rental and purchases of movies from 2002 to 2011. The number of sales is divided in several formats: VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.
The graph shows that customers were gradually renting less films over time. In 2002, there were about 185 thousand rentals of movies. Subsequently, this number dropped to around 150 thousand by 2005 and 90 thousand by 2009. Finally, by 2011, the number of rentals decreased further and was slightly over 50 thousand.
The number of film purchases varied depending on the format. First, VHS sales plummeted in the depicted period. While in 2002 80 thousand VHS movies were sold, by 2005 this number was about 10 thousand, before disappearing in the following years. Next, the sales of DVD movies were less 50 thousand in 2002, but they quickly rose to more than 170 thousand in 2004. Then, DVD sales reached a peak of 210 thousand by 2008 before slightly reducing to 190 thousand in 2011. Lastly, Blu-ray purchases first appear in the graph in 2007, with less than 1000 sales. The number grew very slowly in the period, reaching only 10 thousand purchases by 2011.
In summary, the popularity of movie rentals reduced during the depicted period. With regards to sales, DVD was the most popular film format, replacing the obsolete VHS; however, Blu-ray never caught the attention of the customers.
