Out on DVD: December 2008 Archives

This is amazing!

"Mamma Mia!" is already the most successful film musical of all time worldwide raked in over $30 million its first day out on DVD, according to an email I just got from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

It had already been proclaimed the fastest selling DVD of all time in the U.K. after first-day sales reached 1.6 million units, surpassing the previous record holder "Titanic."

The film garnered two Golden Globe ®nominations last week: Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress in Musical or Comedy for Meryl Streep.

In Australia, the DVD became the biggest DVD release of the past two years, holding the number-one spot for four consecutive weeks and was also Universal's biggest home entertainment release ever in Germany, with one million units shipped to date.

In addition to Streep, the film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Walters, Dominic Cooper and Christine Baranski.
