"Game of Thrones" Early DVD Sales Breaking HBO Records

Profits are coming: The second season of "Game of Thrones" is breaking HBO’s sales records on home video.
The heavily promoted DVD title was released earlier this week. The company reports that the first day moved 241,000 units, which is 44 percent higher than the first season’s initial sales and represent the biggest first-day numbers ever for an HBO home video release. HBO also sold 355,000 individual episodes via digital downloads, up 112 percent from season one.
Given the more intense home video interest for season two, it wouldn’t be surprising if the show’s ratings surpass last season’s numbers when the show returns next month.
The box sets include season two’s 10 episodes, deleted scenes from the second season and plenty of behind-the-scenes material and commentaries.
