Not a bad start.

Is that the biggest release of the year as in 2013? Not knocking its a grand start but 'Biggest release in 22 days' doesn't have the same ring

Is that just America I take it? Awesome. I imagine that by the time they got those results it would have sold even more, and hopefully being number 1 will get more people to check it out who wouldn't of previously. Plus sales in other countries.

Yeah, a biggest word of mouth!

From Planet replicas FB page:
This is great !!!! By comparison ' The Amazing Spiderman' shifted 535,828 units in its first week - making $9,623,471in sales, so Dredd has outsold it by 120,000 odd already... ( Source:http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2012/SPID4-DVD.php)

Not sure how theoretical the $9,623,471 sales are for Spiderman ( maybe Joe Soap can clarify?) but if its the roughly same for Dredd, that's a nice little extra chunk for a weeks work.

I'm calling it now: if we continue to see those kinds of sales figures and Dredd remains a steady seller, then we will be getting a sequel. It just needs to maintain making money and earning a good reputation.

I don't know how these things work, but I'm guessing Dredd will have to sell a hell of a lot more - literally millions more - to even raise the possibility of a sequel.

But as I say - it's a good start. Doubly satisfying that it outsold The Amazing Spider-man - a movie that is by all accounts dreadful, and in the world of comic book adaptations is the antithesis of Dredd.

Damn you Rusty, don't get peoples hopes up like that.

James Stacey · 22 January, 2013, 04:49:16 PM

Are we comparing Spidermans DVD sales with Dredd combined DVD/Bluray sales here ? Doesn't seem fair.

Fisticuffs · 22 January, 2013, 04:50:14 PM

'Sales tracking currently includes only the DVD versions of the movie. Blu-ray sales are not included at this time.'

It would seem so.
