‘Chipmunks’ sells 2.6 million DVDs in 1 day
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It took three furry little creatures just one day to amass 2.6 million DVD sales for last year’s holiday hit “Alvin and the Chipmunks.”
The DVD of the film went on sale Tuesday and immediately surpassed opening disc sales for bigger-named projects like “I Am Legend” and “Enchanted.” The sales figure is also the most in one day for any DVD this year.
In theaters worldwide, the PG-rated “Chipmunks” has already gathered more than $355 million and change.
And they aren’t done promoting themselves.
Fox’s “Get Munk’d” mall tour, which features performers in large Chipmunk suits, will arrive at Alpharetta’s North Point Mall on April 13. Showtime: noon to 4 p.m.
Alvin, Simon and Theodore characters perform several songs from their film’s CD, including “Funkytown,” “How We Roll” and “Witch Doctor.” There will also be dance lessons and video game stations.
Are your kids or grandkids fans of the Chipmunks? Did you buy one of those 2.6 million DVDs?

Great family movie! No sexual innuendo or ‘between the lines’ jokes for the adults, just pure silliness and fun. My kids loved it and so did I. Wake-up Hollywood! You can make a real family film and it be successful.

That this movie made a dime is prima facie evidence that cretinism is rampant.
