Not related to season 4 but what the hell. the Numbers have just released sales figures for the first week of Supernatural season three on DVD.
So far this last season has opened the strongest both in units sold and revenue generated.
Season one opened in 14th place sold 101 thousand units generating 3.404 million dollars and by its 2nd week had sold 150 thousand units and generated 5.265 million dollars in revenue. After that it fell off the top 30.
Season two opened in 15th place sold 56,000 units and generated 2.12 million viewers. And never showed back up on the top 30 list.
Season three opened in 6th place sold 109,000 units and generated sales of 4.26 million (enough if sources are accurate to pay for the full costs of 4 of the 16 episodes produced last year and this is just us sales).
ANd just because I can Gossip Girls first week sold 95,997 units and generated $3,711,244 in revenue.
One Tree Hill in its first week sold 106,164 units and generated $4,139,334.
So Supernatural in the us as so far performed better then the two other hour longs that have sales figures out (smallville should beat the living hell out of them, but we should be used to that , last season Smallville finally fell out of the top 30 with 404 thousand units sold and sales of nearly 15 million).
