Yesterday, Warner Home Video announced that their dual-release megahit Planet Earth had become the best selling HD release to date.
Warner, the North American distributor for BBC Video, announced the set had generated $3.2 million USD in revenue since its dual release launch in late April.
The Hollywood Reporter estimated that the sales figure translates to over 42,000 units, which although less than the 100,000 units sold of the hit "The Departed" still translates to more revenue due to the roughly $70 USD price tag. The company says The Departed has so far generated 2.8 million in revenue.
A Warner exec boasted after the announcement, "The consumer response to 'Planet Earth: The Complete Series' on both high-definition formats has been absolutely incredible, and we are truly proud to be a part of it," said Warner Home Video president Ron Sanders. "This landmark series was made for high definition, and 'Planet Earth' will be an iconic staple in our natural-history documentary library for a very long time."
