July 29, 2013

Its opening week Blu-ray share was 46%, which is a good start for a visually impressive adventure film.

A Good Day Die Hard fell to third place with 139,000 units / $1.96 million for the week, giving it totals of 455,000 units / $7.82 million after two. This is merely mediocre, nothing more.
