Impressive Debut For “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights” According To Early Sales Data
Preliminary sales data shows Green Lantern: Emerald Knights making an impressive debut on both DVD and Blu-ray sales chart, hitting the #3 spot on both respectively. While exact numbers are not yet available, sales for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights are expected to exceed those of 2009’s Green Lantern: First Flight, which debuted to roughly 160,00 DVD units sold in its first week. Total units sold for Green Lantern: First Flight, both DVD and Blu-ray combined, stand at nearly 500,000 as of the week ending June 5th, 2011.
For the week ending June 12th, 2011, the Green Lantern: Emerald Knights Blu-ray accounted for 56% of total unit sales for the Warner Home Video title. This shows a major increase in Blu-ray sales for a DC Universe Animated Original Movie title over its DVD counterpart, though this is not a surprise given the lack of regularly available Two-Disc Special Edition DVD release for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Outside of the Blu-ray title, a standard one-disc DVD release is widely available, though the Two-Disc Special Edition DVD title is currently a Wal-Mart exclusive for the United States.
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights was cross-promoted with both the big-screen Green Lantern live-action theatrical film and the Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters video game, both produced under Warner Bros. Click on the image below to view the trailer for the Green Lantern theatrical feature.
