August 20, 2003 — Pre-order numbers for the upcoming DVD release of TT have broken the all-time record in the UK, pushing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets into second place.

Over 50,000 pre-orders have been taken ahead of the video and DVD's release on Tuesday.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets was the previous record-holder, having taken 40,000 pre-orders in April.

Released in cinemas in December 2002, The Two Towers has so far taken over #576m around the world.

"It has well and truly knocked Potter off the top spot, and there are still six days to go until the release date," said Amazon media products director Greg Hart.
