Mad Money DVD Tops Charts! BURBANK, Calif., May 19 /PRNewswire/ --
Anchor Bay Entertainment announced today that its DVD release of
Mad Money is set to debut at the top of retail charts in its first
week of release selling more units than any other new theatrical
release. The film is the first theatrical release from the
company's sister unit, Overture Films. "Anchor Bay is thrilled with
the success of Mad Money," commented Bill Clark, president of
Anchor Bay Entertainment. "The title establishes a record for
Anchor Bay on multiple levels and underscores the combined
performance capabilities of Anchor Bay and Overture. Our sales and
marketing team performed superbly." "We knew that Mad Money would
resonate with consumers and the sales figures have confirmed it,"
added Chris McGurk, CEO to both Anchor Bay Entertainment and
Overture Films. "We're in a unique position with Overture as we
have the ability to release across all avenues domestically
including pay television on Starz and Encore channels and home
entertainment through Anchor Bay. Being the No. 1-selling title on
week one of release is a terrific way to launch our distribution in
the home entertainment arena." Starring Academy Award(R) winner
Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, Something's Gotta Give), Oscar(R) nominee
Queen Latifah (Chicago, Hairspray) and Katie Holmes (Pieces of
April, Batman Begins), Mad Money is the story of three ordinary
women who decide to do something extraordinary -- rob the Federal
Reserve Bank! Directed by Oscar(R) and Golden Globe(R)-winner
Callie Khouri (screenplay: Thelma & Louise, directing: Divine
Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood) and written by Glenn Gers
(Fracture), Mad Money also stars Ted Danson ("Damages," "Cheers"),
Roger Cross (21), Adam Rothenberg (Tennessee), Stephen Root
(Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) and Christopher McDonald (Thelma
& Louise). With bonus features including an audio commentary by
Khouri and a "Makin' Money" behind-the-scenes featurette, the Mad
Money DVD provides a steady flow of laughs. The DVD of Mad Money
was released to retail on May 13, 2008. Next up for Anchor Bay is
the hilarious mockumentary, The Grand and Overture's critically
acclaimed The Visitor. About Overture Films Overture Films
