From Amanda Bell’s article at Examiner.com:
Summit Home Entertainment, the company responsible for the Twilight film, has just announced that Saturday’s sales were, indeed, chart-topping. Over three million copies of the Twilight DVD were sold, and this propelled the DVD to the “Top Five Best First Day Releases in Two Years.”
Welcomed in with Twilight DVD release parties across the nation, along with special surprise guest appearances at several of them by cast members of Twilight and New Moon, the DVD’s success comes as no surprise to many fans. [...]
“We are incredibly appreciative that Twilight fans came out to once again support this film at our midnight events across the nation,” said Steve Nickerson, Summit’s President of Home Entertainment. “With such a successful first day sales, it is apparent that our fans remain passionate about the Twilight saga and want to own a piece of the Edward and Bella story they have come to love. We look forward to the continued success for both the home entertainment and retail sales of this property as a whole.”
The promise of success for the Twilight series was doubtless to the many Twilight fans around the nation and globe, and these record-breaking sales only go to prove that the Twilight series is, indeed, fan-driven.
One of the other four movies was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

I know I ran out straight away & bought my copy! No, wait, I didn’t.
I’m sure Stephenie Meyer is distraught over you and crying all the way to the bank, revgeorge.
One of my favorite “pieces of flair” from Facebook:
“Edward was a Hufflepuff.
There, I said it.”
Well, as the Hufflepuffs were those kind of (cliche alert!) outside the neat box, then, yeah, he would have been. Does this mean Rob Pattinson is destined to play Hufflepuff characters throughout his career? Kind of like Orlando Bloom’s successful niche being period roles? Roll on, Orlando, roll on….
Although I really didn’t care for the book (she said with much restraint), I didn’t mind the movie all that much. Perhaps it was because I only spent two hours of my life with the film and not days of reading “Edward is so beautiful” over and over. As much as the movie was actually entertaining, I’ll pass on owning the DVD.
