The Bible reached a new milestone today with 1 million units sold across Blu-ray, DVD and DigitalHD. The epic 10-part miniseries from co-executive producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey continues to dominate records everywhere with its unprecedented sales performance. It's the fastest selling TV title in the past 2 years and the #1 TV Miniseries of all time in home entertainment.
During its run, The Bible propelled History® to number one in all of television from 8-10 PM on Sunday nights with over 100 million viewers. The Bible series will air internationally later this year, followed by its international home entertainment release.
“We are thrilled that The Bible series continues to be enjoyed by millions across the country. The response to the series on television was overwhelming and clearly families are now wanting to own the DVD and enjoy it with family and friends,” said co-executive producers, husband and wife team Roma Downey and Mark Burnett.
“Millions of people embraced The Bible, not only making it the television event of the year but also bringing it to unprecedented success with the home entertainment release in the US,” said Mary Daily, president and chief marketing officer of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. “We are excited about introducing this project to millions more as we launch internationally later this year.”
