  Finding Nemo Swallows First-Day Video Sales Record With 8 Million Units
Time: 14:31 EST/19:31 GMT | News Source: Video Store Magazine | Posted By: David Gasior

Finding Nemo, the little fish that was a whale of a box office hit this year, swallowed the record for opening-day sales of home video with 8 million units sold in North America, it was announced today by Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Finding Nemo swamped the previous first-day record of 5 million units set last year by Monsters, Inc., another Walt Disney Home Video presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film.

Based on its first-day success, Finding Nemo is on track to become the best-selling home video of 2003 and the top-selling DVD of all time, company executives said.

According to Bob Chapek, president of BVHE, some 25 million units were shipped into the retail channel, based on record pre-orders, and that's going to make copies hard to find this weekend. DVDs constituted 80 percent of first-day sales, VHS 20 percent, he said.
