Combined Blu-ray and DVD sales of the Swedish-language crime classic The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo have shot past the 1 million mark in the UK following a sudden spike in sales in recent months. The renewed interest in the film may well have been spurred on by the recent Hollywood remake of the film, which itself arrives on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK next week.

Kristin Ryan, from distributor Momentum Pictures, stated, 'It's great to see that there's such a massive appetitie for the original film. Sales of 1 million the week before the DVD release of the remake is nothing short of fantastic'.
