Musical film Mamma Mia! has become the UK's biggest-selling DVD of all time, according to official figures

 

It is the first disc to sell more than five million copies - placing it in one in four UK households.

The Abba-themed movie was the number one DVD of 2008, with its closest rival The Dark Knight making 1.5m sales.

The Official Charts Company's (OCC) all-time DVD list of the last decade sees Mamma Mia! surge ahead of previous top seller Pirates of the Caribbean.

 

The Curse of The Black Pearl has sold 4.7 million copies, followed in the third and fourth place by Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The Ring and The Two Towers.

Other top 10 DVD releases of the last 10 years include Bond adventure Casino Royale, The Shawshank Redemption and Gladiator.

 

Shrek 2 comes in at number 10 and is the best-selling animation DVD during the last decade.

Some 12 titles have each sold in excess of three million copies since 1998, when the DVD format was launched in the UK.

Mamma Mia! became the fastest-selling DVD when it was released in mid-November, and has continued to sell over the festive period.

Martin Talbot, managing director of the OCC, said: "Right from its release, Mamma Mia! has been a record breaker

 

"This latest landmark further underlines the popularity of the movie, which is now officially the British public's favourite DVD of all time," he added.

Other releases linked to the film have proved successful, with its soundtrack becoming the biggest-selling compilation of 2008, shifting one million copies.

Disney won't be able to resist : Frozen 2 will come, if they can resist to the pressure I will admire them lol

 

I think that Disney has a bigger capacity than any other studio to resist creating a sequel to a hugely successful film.

It depends on who exactly you're talking about and for what reasons. It's no problem whatsoever for the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, because they'd rather work on a new project--in their view the story is complete and there is no pressure from within themselves to make a feature-length sequel. Note that this is rather unlike the case of Rich Moore with regard to the WDAS movie that he directed, Wreck-It Ralph--he's dying to make a sequel, but Disney going ahead with it is questionable at best, at this point.

As for Disney the corporation, they are certainly under pressure to maximize the value of the franchise, and this certainly involves the potential for one or more sequels, but they seem to be in no hurry to press the issue. Iger, at least verbally, considers a sequel (to a story that was not designed with sequels in mind) a risk to the franchise as a whole, and seems content, for now, with developing a Broadway show and cashing in on the first movie, which still sells merchandise like crazy. If a sequel is inevitable after all, it will likely eventually be used to revitalize the franchise rather than subject it to unnecessary risk too soon. In short, for one reason or another there is no hurry (and in such a scenario, I suppose there is the potential that a sequel will never happen--it depends on a lot of factors, among them WDAS' success in creating new IPs and probably Lasseter telling Iger something like WDAS' sequels always flopping because the public only wants new movies from WDAS).

 

I think that Disney has a bigger capacity than any other studio to resist creating a sequel to a hugely successful film.

Yes, at least when it comes to WDAS, that is, and their history and catalog certainly reflect this. Even in their recent history, Tangled was pretty darn successful, so where is the sequel? It's not even being considered, as its directors, like Frozen's, consider the story complete and aren't interested in making a sequel, so that's that. Obviously Frozen, being so much bigger a hit, is a bit different, but then again if this were any studio other than WDAS/Disney, then I could virtually guarantee you that a Tangled sequel would have been in theaters by now, or at least in production. Instead, what did Disney do when Tangled proved to be a hit? They gave Frozen, a fellow princess musical but still a different and new movie, the green light. I'm sure that the subject of a Tangled sequel came up, but WDAS was like "Nah, we'd rather do this."

The international run of Jurassic World and Minions comes to an end and Frozen has still the biggest OS gross outside USA and China since 2011's HP 7.2 (and the 4th biggest ever). Which movie will be able to beat this number? Maybe Star Wars 7?

Yeah Star wars has the biggest chance among upcoming movies but 825m won't be an easy number for even star wars. It's super huge in Europe (which is highly affected by xchange rate issues right now) but isn't big enough in Asia (which plays a major role even without China) except for Japan. But South Korea may come to the aid since it seems to love science fiction movies. Then If it manager good numbers in Latin America it would easily pass the number. Still I guess it has 60:40 chances of passing it and not passing it. Anything between 780-900 is highly probable. Edited by Infernus
