From EW.com:

'Twilight' sells more than 3 million DVDs in first day of sales

No surprises here: Teen girls lined up en masse to take Robert Pattinson home with them when the Twilight DVD went on sale Saturday, complete with midnight release parties. The romantic vampire sensation, which has grossed $380 million in theaters since its November release, sold more than 3 million copies in its first day on the shelves, studio Summit Entertainment says. That puts it in the top five best first-day DVD releases in the last two years, among the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, The Dark Night, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Transformers.


Gozde: Teen girls? What teen girls? How many teens can afford buying 4 different copies of Twilight? 1 from Borders, 1 from Target, 1 from Amazon and 1 from Costco :) For why it sold 3 million copies refer to the post below :)

I'm hoping some of the cast members had a % of the merchandising proceeds worked into their fee, because this would very sweet...

Should say "Robert pattinson sells more than 3 million DVDs in first day of sales", right?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr what was the point of pre-ordering through Target! I don't have my DVD! I should have just gone to the bleedin store on Saturday.

I did attend a party in Sterling, VA (Washington, D.C. suburb). It was so much fun hanging with the smallie girls.

Raffled off a Tonner Edward Doll and raised over $300 for Susan G. Komen Breast Foundation.

TwiHards Rock!

When are these lame-brains gonna get the idea that it isn't teen girls buying all this stuff??? I'm sincerely miffed *sniff*

WOMEN are the target demographic. Last stats I read estimated 1/3 of fans are teens. Do the math, idiots!

I Crazy, everybody ... sorry for the rage, it's just that I've gotta go back to work today and I'm gonna miss Robsessing so much!

Well of COURSE Robert sold that many. But can someone pleaseeee tell me how I can return my Walmart one and buy both the Target version and Borders version. Or which one is better?

crazy said...

Anon- Gozde has been posting from the Target one. I think it's the best.

Return the Walmart one. Just tell them it's faulty. Not enough Rob!!

Have a great day ladies!

Hey ladies,

Tess- I hope to because Rob is the draw and he deserve the largest take.

Crazy- Amen to that...

Smitten- Rage on because I'm tired of the Mediatards leaving us out as well.
