"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 DVD is, unsurprisingly, flying off the shelves. After the film was released to disc at midnight Saturday morning, it reportedly sold 3.2 million discs over the course of two days.
But, that's not all: The flick also snagged 50,000 downloads and
80,000 video-on-demand transactions during the two-day period when the
sales were tracked, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The numbers make "Breaking Dawn" the top-selling release so far this
year. It bows at #1 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert overall disc
sales chart, followed by "Lady and the Tramp" and "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas."
Now that it can be played on repeat, Twihards are certain to be
memorizing every sweet and saucy moment of "Part 1" before the final
installment hits theaters this November. A scene from the Bill
Condon-directed "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," played at a special Target in-store event just before "Part 1" dropped.
Fans were treated to five minutes of footage,
including behind-the-scenes shots of "Twilight" hunks Robert Pattinson
and Taylor Lautner preparing for battle in the woods. The exclusive
scene followed Bella as she finds a note in a book with instructions
from Alice, explaining what to do to get new passports.
The clip then cut to an emotional conversation between Edward and
Bella, who share a juicy kiss. But, perhaps the scene fans most wanted
to sink their teeth into was the first shot of vampire Bella, which
included those famous red eyes and special-effects-aided speed.
