According to Video Business, the box office smash hit The Dark Knight can add another milestone to its list, highest selling HD title of all time.
Although the movie isn't set for release until December 9th, Warner is believed to be shipping 1.1 million units of the film for its launch date, the first time a Blu-ray film has ever hit the 1 million milestone.
Although accurate figures for Blu-ray sales are hard to come by, 'The Dark Knight' is expected to be the highest seller in the format's short history, surpassing previous trend setters Casino Royale, Transformers and Iron Man.
Casino Royale was the first HD title to sell 100,000 units (back in March 2007), and Transformers was supposedly the first HD title to ever hit 500,000, also in 2007. More recently, Iron Man smashed any previous Blu-ray record by selling an estimated 782,000 units in its first week.
