"Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, starring Johnny Depp, became the swashbuckler of home video Tuesday, topping 4 million combined DVD and VHS units sold through to consumers and rental stores during its first 24 hours on store shelves.
While Disney executives declined comment on sales or rental numbers, several national retail video buyers predicted the double-disc "Pirates" DVD to perform on par with Disney/Pixar's animated Finding Nemo, which has become the top-selling DVD of the year and is a contender for best-selling home video of all time, a record that belongs to the original release of Disney's The Lion King, which sold approximately 32 million VHS units in 1995."
