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 displays the annual number of film rentals and sales (VHS, DVD, AND Blu-ray) between 2002 and 2011.
Overall, film rentals declined significantly, VHS sales vanished, DVD sales dominated the period, and Blu-ray emerged as a new trend.
In 2002, film rentals were the summit figure at around 190,000. However, this number decreased steadily and dwindled down to 60,000 in 2011. VHS sales also dropped sharply from just above 80,000 in 2002 to almost zero in 2006.
On the other hand, DVD sales followed an opposite trend. They started at about 45,000 in 2002 and increased rapidly, reaching a peak of around 210,000 in 2007. After that, DVD sales declined gradually and fell to about 180,000 by the end of the period. Blu-ray sales first appeared in 2007 and rose slowly to above 10,000 in 2011.
In general, DVDs replaced VHS and became more popular than film rentals. Blu-ray showed some growth, but it remained much lower than DVD sales.
