THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON – Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart’s DVD Bestseller

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner – The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD

Say what you will about the box-office performances of Remember Me or The Runaways, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart surely have their millions of enthusiastic fans.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD, criticized by some for its lack of quality special features, sold 4 million copies on Saturday and Sunday. Last year, Twilight sold 3.8 million units on its first two days.

According to the Los Angeles Times, those figures include only discs sold directly to consumers — not rentals, digital downloads or video-on-demand.

In theaters, New Moon outgrossed Twilight by more than $100 million. In fact, the vampire-human-werewolf romantic saga (or soap, if you will) is still adding some change at more than 100 North American screens.

But if the 200,000 DVD difference doesn't sound all that impressive, then consider that Summit will in all likelihood be releasing a "special" edition with more and better features in the not-too-distant future. (Much like what 20th Century Fox is doing with James Cameron's Avatar.) Many twihards may be waiting for that future release. (But then again, if you're a real twihard, you'd buy both DVD editions.)

And don't forget that DVD sales in the United States fell 13% last year. In other words, a 200K increase is nothing to be sniffed at.

Last year, Twilight topped DVD charts, with 9.2 million units sold. We'll see if New Moon will be able to go above that.
