Reports are in, and the Warner Brothers Blu-ray release of '
The Dark Knight' sold approximately 600,000 copies in the US, Canada, and UK on Tuesday, which works out to 20% of all home media sales for the title. This single day accomplishment blows away the previous record holder '
Iron Man' which sold approximately 250,000 on its first day of release.
Kevin Tsujihara, President of Warner Brothers Home Entertainment, commented, "Numbers like these in this economic environment firmly establish Blu-ray as where consumers are headed."
Sales are already beating internal projections, and are expected to eclipse the 1 Million sold mark by Saturday.
