Red Rides To #1!
I’m very proud, but I’ll let Hollywood Reporter do the talking:
HOODWINKED TOPS DVD SALES CHART
“‘Hoodwinked,’ the animated retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, scored an upset victory on the DVD sales chart for the week ending May 7, narrowly beating 20th Century Fox’s “The Family Stone.” “Hoodwinked,” from Genius Products, grossed $51.2 million in theaters, while the Fox romantic comedy generated $60.1 million. Both titles hit DVD last week. “The Family Stone” finished second on VideoScan’s First Alert chart, followed closely by Paramount’s “Last Holiday,” another new release, at No. 3. (Thomas K. Arnold)”
We couldn’t squeak to the top spot in theaters, thanks to “Glory Road’s” narrow victory, but we did it in DVD! A BIG THANKS to all the fans who went out and got their copy this week.

On behalf of several fans who made Tuesday purchases… You’re welcome.
Out of curiosity, do you all also get a percentage of DVD sales, as did Peter Jackson?

CHUCK! Nice to see your note.
There are a few of us who have a very tiny percentage of everything on the movie, DVD’s included. It’s a VERY tiny percentage, but it’s there.

My family just watched your movie for the first time together. I watched it with my friend, at the theater, and we all loved your character, Twitchy. We also all agree your movie was fantastic and i can’t wait to sit on the couch to watch it again.

What a nice thing to say. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed the movie! That’s what it’s ALL ABOUT. Twitchy will return in the sequel (we haven’t been able to give him his own show… yet).

After seeing “Over the Hedge” this weekend, I’m under the impression that the Dreamworks folks owe you some royalties for their rip off of Twitchy…
I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’…

I’ve heard, I’ve heard… and I need to go see “Over The Hedge” to see how painfully similar the squirrel’s big scene is. But a friend of mine who does one of the voices said that the “sports drink scene” was in the script two years ago.
Strange minds think alike, I guess.
