The Passion Sells 4.1 Million On DVD Release Day

Filed under: — dan @ 11:49 pm

Crazy! Only second to those CGI fishies! Everyone’s buying multiple copies because they know that kids will be scratching up the DVD with all the play that it will get. I think Paramount needs to re-release The Ten Commandments (1956) with a special edition with alternate endings and bonus scenes. :P Does pirating The Passion send you straight to hell?

Although the film’s sales of 4.1 million copies trails the one-day sales record of 8 million by “Finding Nemo,” it’s a significant number considering “The Passion” is rated R and has sub-titles, said Scott Hettrick, editor-in-chief of DVD Exclusive.

Another significant detail about sales of “The Passion” is that consumers are buying 1.8 copies on average, which is a first according to Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Robbie Williams Pulls a Prince

So, what do you do when your big in your home country (UK) but you flop in the States? Why, change your name and appearance! Gotta say though, it’s better than Prince’s time as Squiggly thingamajig… An alcoholic American, why I think he’s gonna sing some country!

The She’s The One singer wants to “kill off Robbie Williams” because he hates what he’s become. He will now dress, eat and live as his new persona Pure Francis, who he’s written an album for, which he plans to release in October (04) to go head-to-head with the Robbie Williams Greatest Hits Cd.

Williams explains in his autobiography Feel, out today (01SEP04), “Pure Francis will be Neil Diamond, but with a bit of Kraftwerk or Depeche Mode and he’s not afraid to do a big chorus. I’ve got him as an alcoholic and an American.
