No surprises here: Teen girls lined up en masse to take Robert Pattinson home with them when the Twilight DVD went on sale Saturday, complete with midnight release parties. The romantic vampire sensation, which has grossed $380 million in theaters since its November release, sold more than 3 million copies in its first day on the shelves, studio Summit Entertainment says. That puts it in the top five best first-day DVD releases in the last two years, among the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, The Dark Night, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Transformers.

Twilight Is Top-Selling Release Of 2009
31 March 2009 5:22 AM, PDT

Hit vampire movie Twilight has topped yet another chart - it is now the biggest home release of the year in the U.S.

The film, which stars Robert Pattinson as a teenage bloodsucker, sold 5.6 million DVDs and Blu-Ray discs in its first week on sale (21-28Mar09) to overtake Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa as the most popular release of 2009.

It follows the movie's huge success in cinemas, when it topped both the U.K. and U.S. box office charts last year with estimated worldwide takings of $376 million (£263 million).

The film's highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, is due out later this year.

I'm not surprised either. One of my coworkers has three daughters that are teenagers and she each bought them a copy. The older two are twins and their birthday was the same day as the DVD release. So they had a Twilight birthday party.
