Inbetweeners set for 1m DVD sales in a week

The big-screen spin-off of The Inbetweeners is on course to become one of the biggest-selling comedy DVDs of all time after selling nearly 600,000 copies on its first day on sale.

The Inbetweeners Movie, which was released on DVD on Monday, is expected to top one million sales by the end of tomorrow. It would be the third biggest first-week sales of any DVD released this year, behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts One and Two.

The E4 spin-off, in which the four teenage schoolfriends go on holiday to Malia, has already taken more than £45 million at the box office.
