Holy Blu-ray Batman!
The Dark Knight's Dawn
 


Right on the tail of of Heath Ledger getting the Golden Globe nod, here are the stats for The Dark Knight's DVD sales. And they're nothing to joke about:

(The Dark Knight) sold nearly 3 million copies Tuesday, the first day of its DVD release in the U.S., Canada and Britain.

"The Dark Knight's" retail reception is reminiscent of strong first-day sales for "The Matrix" and "Titanic" (any debut of 1 million or more units is considered a home run). At the present rate, "Dark Knight" looks to be on pace to catch Paramount Pictures' "Iron Man," which sold 7.2 million units in its first week on store shelves this year.

As many as 25% to 30% of the "Dark Knight" discs sold — or 600,000 copies — were purchased in the Blu-ray format. That surpasses the previous record set by "Iron Man," which sold 260,000 Blu-ray discs upon its first day of release. [LAT]

Who said that Blu-ray was this generation's Laserdisks?
