About two weeks ago, I posted an article about "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," being the biggest selling home entertainment film of 2009. It seems that title didn't take "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" much time to dismantle. In fact, it took only a week to take over the reign of biggest selling DVD/Blu-ray of 2009.
The film was released last Tuesday on October 20th. On the first day alone, 2 million disc, with 500,000 of them being on the Blu-ray format. In total, the film sold 7.5 million disc; 6.3 million on the DVD format, whereas the other 1.2 million went to the owners of Blu-ray players.
The film is currently holding the number one position on three sales charts...the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, Home Media Magazine's rental chart and the Nielsen VideoScan Blu-ray Disc sales chart.
Whispers68: I didn't have the chance to purchase the Blu-ray last week but my girlfriend and I went out on Tuesday where Best Buy was nearby so I wasn't hesitant on buying it on Blu-ray. I must say the film isn't the best film ever created of course, but the visual effects and the loud explosions on my surround sound allowed it to be one of the best movie experiences I've had at home with an action film in quite some time. I don't think I've turned it up this loud except while watching "The Dark Knight," "300" or the original Transformers film. I doubt people bought it for their home media players due to the plot, dog scenes, etc. It's mainly; if similar to me; the film is one of the best films to display on your LCD/Plasma and surround sound. Each time they transform...wow. The sound echoes one heck of a thunderous shatter through my rear speakers. I actually hear things not noticed the first time around while viewing the film in theaters.
