Huge sales for TT3D after just 3 days

Friday, 2 December 2011 00:00

Excitement is already at fever pitch over a Manx film which was released this week.

Despite being on sale for barely three days, TT3D has already sold more than 34,000 copies.

The staggering sales figures means it’s already on course to become one of the biggest-selling sports documentaries of all time.

Earlier this year the film grossed £1.3m making it the third-highest grossing British documentary ever.

Minister for economic development John Shimmin said this success will raise the profile of the island around the world and it’s something everyone here can be proud of.

The DVD was launched on Monday at HMV in Douglas with the help of TT stars Conor Cummins and Milky Quayle.
