Title crosses 1 million DVD and Blu-Ray sales in record time.
StudioCanal smash Paddington has clocked up another record for the company by becoming its fastest title to reach 1 million DVD and Blu-Ray sales in the UK.
The family hit has also become the first film to surpass the 1 million sales mark in the UK this year, according to Official Charts Company data.
Paddington isn’t StudioCanal’s first title to hit 1 million physical sales, with the likes of Pan’s Labyrinth, This Is England and Unknown also reaching the landmark, but the film has achieved the figure in only five months and at full price - a rare occurrence in the market.
The well-received family comedy – which will get another home-ent boost at Christmas - scored a $58.8m (£38m) theatrical haul in the UK and has taken $263m at the international box office with Japan still to come.
