So it sold nearly 3m Blu-rays alone in its first weekend? Incredible.

Also please note that there is some problem with the-numbers's total sales for various film. They consistently keep going down.For example, the total sales for these films after adding weekly total should be:TF3: 2,663,000Thor: 1,387,000FF: 1,664,000

Hé has done that alot in the past..Adjusted the numbers i mean.. Always down..

Fantastic for DH2...

And since those downward revisions are the exact same percentage for every movie for a certain week, I think it is a tabulating error in their database.

Among the blu-ray releases, star wars did very well too.aDIM and I will be posting a complete and updated list of all 1M+ sellers sometime next week. Then we will know which movie is ahead by exactly how much margin.

I Think SW did 100 mill or so

DVD sales numbers are in: 2,829,814As I was expecting, it did a bit better than my conservative estimate of 2.65 million.Going by the 49% Blu-Ray share, it should have sold 2.7M+ copies, even without taking the sales from HP 1-8 boxset into account.

I'd love to see the list if you have it Fake. Good work keeping the charts because they remove the previous one every week :/I suppose you could even have the all-time list since HMM has posted it once in terms of ratio and if you check the date with a movie which has made the list you could sort of find out every movie's units.Also about their constant downward revisions, is that an error or do they always do that? I've seen movies cross 1m units sold 5 times and that makes me more skeptical and less reliant and trusting of their charts.

[spizzer]

So Avatar's record was broken

[Heretic]

http://www.the-numbers.com/dvd/charts/weekly/thisweek.phpEpic first week for DH2. Combining Blu-ray and DVD's would put it near 5.5m would it not?Massive jumps for previous Potter's too. Edited November 22, 2011 by Heretic

2,7 would be a fantastic number in BR sales.. Thats around 70 mill in gross..

The weekly numbers are reliable as they are consistent with NVS. I think the error is in accumulating the total units. That's why I prefer to add them on my own.
