Last week only People magazine got the Angelina Jolie’s bombshell news on its cover before they went to print. All the other celebrity weekly magazine’s closed on Monday night (except OK! that goes to print the Thursday before)
Only People, with its later printing deadline, got in the Angelina news that she broke with the New York Times on Tuesday. So how did she sell?
“Early numbers show the Angie cover of ‘People’ sold 925,000 newsstands, which is great for them as they average 850,000 copies a week,” one weekly editor tells Naughty But Nice Rob. “It was nothing to get excited about. Considering they were the only entertainment weekly to have her we all thought they would sell more than 1,000,000 issues,” adds another.
