New Harry Potter book sells 2m+ copies in two days
Harry Potter & The Cursed Child sold 2m+ copies in the US + Canada alone in two days
That Goddess Rowling reign just won't let up!
Quote:
Anticipation for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child had been building for months before its July 31 release date and the payoff was massive. Scholastic announced the script book sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S. and Canada in its first two days on shelves.
For some perspective, here's the currently charting books on Publishers Weekly with the highest sales this year:
Me Before You 310k $9.99 (448) + Me Before You 289k $16.00 (400) = 599k
Oh the Places You'll Go 473k
When Breathe Becomes Air 345k
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School 318k
Harry Potter Coloring Book 315k
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 314k
First 100 Words 285k
Harry Potter Magical Creatures Coloring Book 241k
Make Me 236k
A Man Called Ove 230k
Very Hungry Caterpillar 226k
The Last Mile 216k
Goodnight Moon 208k
Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See 208k
So it's like only one book could even go gold and now Queen Rowling waltzes in and starts at double platinum.
