It moved to #6 on amazon! http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/dvd/ref=pd_dp_ts_d_1Beating "Milk"! And to those holding out for a boxed set: STOP IT! They're all out, and they won't get any better boxed. If anything you'll LOSE because they aren't getting your money which means no more future Futurama!

Binder if you remove Twilight, Slumdog Millionaire and Australia as they aren't out yet it puts Into the Wild Green Yonder at #3! Man I prefer the Region 1 cover to the Region 2 one. Maybe that's what we get for having it 24 hours earlier here in the UK than the US. EDIT: Also if you go here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/dvd/ref=pd_dp_ts_d_1Into the Wild Green Yonder is #11 in the UK version of Amazon although if you remove Twilight and Quantum of Solace as they aren't out yet it puts it solidily in the top ten. Not bad for a straight to video US animated sitcom in the UK.

Counterpoint 1) The sales of Futurama across the world affect the return of the series again, so, yeah, I'd say that it's kinda a big deal.
Counterpoint 2) a) Your support of Twilight is killing Futurama. Choose wisely, Sophie. (As in for Futurama.) b) Twilight sucks.

Are you in the target audience of Twilight? No....so beat it! Or are you?
Being that I am not nor have I ever been nor ever will be a whiny teenage girl who constantly complains about her lack of a boyfriend and wishes for a fantastical world where supernatural creatures have the hots for her even though every sane male of the human species realizes that this girl is crazy, I'd say no. Are you in the target audience of Futurama? We don't get adult swim on our CC anymore. Sucky much?
Not really, considering [adult_swim] was never on Comedy Central.

Well, that's only the DVD's first week calculation. Bender's Big Score has a year over that, plus it had the anticipation of new Futurama to go with it. We can only hope that more fans become aware of the new DVD.
Then again, if it's losing to "Space Buddies", that's kind of pathetic...

ITWGY was the 20th best-selling DVD in the USA in its initial week of release according to estimates from the-numbers.com, with about 83,000 units sold.
Hrrm... it sold only 1/3 of the DVDs that Benders big score did on its first week. Yep, downhill trend for each movie. Not good...although state of the economy needs to be factored in--let's see if there is a chart for total DVDs in US sold per week...
EDIT: Here is best I could find... http://www.dvdinformation.com/industryData/index.cfm
The first-week sales for each DVD, in order, are about 220K, then 130K, then 73K, then 83K, and the relative rankings have been 15, 9, 11, 20. Now ITWGY does have multiple factors going against it -- the prolonged economic recession, the release date (February), the diminished buzz from the return of Futurama, and the fact that it had to go up against a bunch of Oscar winners, but I did think that the fact that it's currently the series finale would boost sales a bit.
