Inbetweeners Movie DVD set to break records
Inbetweeners The Inbetweeners Movie broke UK cinema records and is about to do the same with its DVD release.
Earlier this year the film recorded the biggest UK comedy opening at the box office, beating 2004's Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
And with nearly 600,000 copies of the film already sold, the film is set to reach one million by the end of the week, becoming the biggest selling first week comedy DVD ever.
The film earned an estimated £45 million at the box office and HMV reported it sold more than 250,000 box sets of the TV series.
The Inbetweeners ran for three series before the movie version, which follows the boys on a lads holiday in Malia for sun, sex, boat parties and dodgy dance moves.
A spokesman for HMV said: "We're seeing record sales of The Inbetweeners Movie, which is shaping up to become our biggest-ever week one release on DVD and Blu-ray.
"We've always done really well with the TV series – particularly among its core audience of teens and young adult males, but with the movie coming so close to Christmas we're also seeing huge demand from gift shoppers right now."
