On the heels of the announcement that best picture winner Crash is
headed back to the big screen for another run, now comes word from Variety's Diane Garrett that the current DVD sold some 17,500 copies in one day (Monday) following its big win Sunday night.
Garrett writes:
"Crash"... has sold about 4 million units to date. A double-disc director's cut is slated for release April 4.
The figure of 17,500 nearly doubles last week's pre-OSCAR win of 33,000 discs. Wow! When you stop and think about it though--it's not that much of a shock that something like this would happen. And, in fact, it's quite a shame really. All of those folks who just bought the single disc , (released six months ago) in order to jump on the bandwagon, will probably kick themselves when they see the 2 disc set on store shelves next month. I'm glad I waited to buy my copy.
