Total Copies Sold: 3,728,832 That Christopher Nolan's dream-bending sci-fi was a home video success should surprise no one. Those who liked the film absolutely adored it and there's only so many times you can go back to the cinema to try and untangle the mysteries. By late-2010 Blu-Ray has a larger market share, so in many cases getting the HD version was the immediate choice for many. But even for those who would often plump for the DVDs, here there was a real quality incentive; although none of the film was shot in the director's beloved IMAX, it boasts the "this must be seen in HD" gorgeousness you'd expect from cinematographer Wally Pfister, with the time-dilating slow-mo being a particular highlight. A substandard DVD release no doubt helped it achieve this number. The picture quality on the SD disk was utterly abysmal (landscape shots looked like a smudge), to the extent Warner Bros. even offered replacement disks with much higher picture quality. Some accused Warner of purposely sabotaging the release to make people buy Blu-Ray. It's the sort of thing that might have actually worked.
