Finding Nemo Sets New One Day Sales Record!
 

Hello:

8 Million DVD/VHS sales in one day!!! The breakdown was about 80% DVD vs. 20% VHS. Not too shabby! ;)

Here is the link to the story:

Enjoy!

Unbelievable...

I don't understand what sells a movie then. The Disney formula sure seems to do the trick...

I prefer to think of it as the Pixar formula :D

The disney formula doesnt seem to be that great lately.

Either way this is great news for a great film.

It's not the Disney formula... it's the Pixar formula which is far better!

Wow. I would have thought Lion King would have done better.

Go figure.

I bought my copy yesterday at BestBuy for $15.99.

I was there about 90 minutes after BB opened and I could already tell that alot of the Nemo DVDs were gone.

I went to CC at lunchtime and they had already run out of the bonus mousepads. I had no trouble getting the bonus radio with Lion King when it came out.

This is not surprising. I told people at work 3 days ago it will set a one day record. It took over The Lion King as the king of the animated box office. There was no "widescreen" vs "full screen" or "boxset" vs "regular release" battles or decisions.

In a nutsell, it's a great movie, lots of extras, just before Christmas and most places had it for around $15. Pixar just does it right.... again.

Well, if you clicked on the link in the first post.... :p

Okay, it was 5 million... Monster's Inc

That's strange . . . this story says something different than the other one . . .I wonder which is right? :hscratch:

I am right

8 Mil copies in one day is a lot. If you average that out, it means that roughly 3% of the population has a copy in their homes. Think about how many people live on your block, and how many of those houses have Finding Nemo sitting around right now.

Well well... that's fishy (sorry... heh heh)

I have never been a fan of anything Disney released, with the exception of FANTASIA. Pixar continues to amaze. Disney should be grateful for them (although you rarely see anything Pixar related at the theme parks). FINDING NEMO is an excellent DVD, once again Pixar does not dissapoint.

Well then, get me a pencil and some paper and a few silly celebrity voices...

I mean honestly, Pixar being cool aside, it wows me that Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or ANY other movie other than an animated movie like 'Nemo' has this title.

Is it because kids buy it too? Kids, teens, adults and grandpa? It has to be... A wider audience to sell too?

I for one, won't be buying it... Sorry Disney/Pixar.

:lol:

Cool - I knew it would !

Of course. Finding Nemo is a film that appeals to just about every demographic. I saw old guys buying it, teenage girls, janitors, guys in Harley Davidson garb, etc.

Don't forget "Finding Nemo" is a current hit especially with the current crop of kids. Lion King is 9 years old. I don't think a lot of high school kids are clamoring for their parents to buy them Lion King!

I predicted this when I saw every person at Best Buy holding a copy (sometimes more than one). Couldn't have happened to a better DVD.

Let's face it. It's a great film by Pixar. No widescreen vs. full screen debate. And Christmas is coming. I wouldn' be surprised if early Christmas shopping helped sell another couple of million units.

8 Mil copies in one day is a lot. If you average that out, it means that roughly 3% of the population has a copy in their homes

Actually, that means .001% of the population has the movie, and they are selling them all on eBay at inflated prices. :D

I was off by 1million:)... PIXAR rules!!!
