In a surprising twist (not), the Twilight DVD sold over 3 million copies on its Saturday release day alone. That figure launches it into the top five highest-grossing single-day DVD releases of all time, alongside box office beasts like Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and The Dark Knight. Excellent company, indeed

Props to Summit Entertainment for holding their own against the major studios. Not only did they score a monster hit with Twilight, but they also claimed the top spot at the box office this weekend with Knowing. That’s a win for the underdog.

So pour yourself a celebratory pint (of blood?), fire up Fandango,and go preorder those Transformers 2 tickets now. Summer’s coming
