A DVD containing the trilogy of Indiana Jones films has sold a record 1.1 million copies after one week on sale in the US.
Retailing at $46 (£27), The Adventures of Indiana Jones--The Complete DVD Movie Collection was snapped up by 600,000 fans in the first 24 hours alone.
"This is just the beginning of what looks to be a long and very successful run," said Jim Ward, vp of marketing and distribution at Lucasfilm. "We couldn't be more pleased about the fantastic sales figures, but probably the best news is that we delivered a collection that lived up to the enormously high expectations that Indiana Jones fans had for this movie collection. We know that Indy is at the top of their holiday gift lists, as well, so we're looking forward to strong results through the end of the year."
The availabaility of the DVD set comes ahead of the release of the new fourth film, slated to hit cinemas July 2005.
