MAMMA MIA! BECOMES AMAZON.CO.UK'S BIGGEST SELLING DVD OF ALL TIME

26th November 2008

The blockbuster film Mamma Mia! has beaten The Star Wars Trilogy, The
Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
to become Amazon.co.uk's biggest selling DVD of all time.

The movie, based on Swedish pop group ABBA's music, received over
200,000 pre-orders on Amazon.co.uk and has continued to sell well
since its release day on Monday.

'A few weeks ago, we were saying that Mamma Mia! looked set to topple
The Star Wars Trilogy as our biggest selling pre-order DVD of all
time,' said Sarah Hughes, DVD Manager at Amazon.co.uk Ltd. 'We thought
that Mamma Mia! could one day be our biggest selling DVD ever but we
could never have anticipated that it would achieve that feat in its
week of release.'
