Brandon,
Narnia is actually pretty good with a wicked turn from Tilda Swinton.

Aloysius J. Gleek:
I'm with Brandon--Narnia? Hiss!
Tilda may be madly stylish, but Narnia actually does "have an agenda." As Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook) says in 'All The President's Men': "Follow the money."
And I ain't foolin'.
littledarlin:
yes... i want to see comparative sales numbers. can anyone do some sleuthing and get crash dvd numbers, narnia dvd numbers, or any other relevant numbers? and the record holder for 1st day sales? just for comparison.
1.4 mil though, that's still pretty amazing for 1st day sales.
edit: well that was easy.

Well Harry Potter holds the record for best selling DVD in first day with 5 million copies....I'm not sure what Universal's record is though...
If Brokeback breaks any records we'll know....and I'll report if I find anything else out....
Now for Crash.....only 4 million in 7 months......and Brokeback sells 1.4 million in 24 hours! Hmmm....Brokeback wins again!

I thought that was weird at the time and now that you say someone tried to get you to buy it, it seems even weirder. Didn't King Kong come out last week?

Yes Kong came out last week and broke Universal's records with 6.5 million in its first week.....920k DVDs per day (average)....
However then Brokeback comes along (also a Universal release) and sells 1.4 million in its first DAY!
Hmmm....wouldn't be surprised if Kong doesn't hold that record for too long.....

sounds like a very good week for Universal, who is doing distribution for both films.
so at minimum $17 a copy, BBM pulled in $24 million yesterday.
