DVDs and Blu-ray discs of James Cameron's Avatar have flown off the shelves on the movie's first day in US stores, despite being available in just the 2D format.

I loled at that.

You mean it still did well without the extra .05% it would have sold if released in 3D? Wow. Amazing :)

~70% of all ticket sales were for the 3D version. Although I don't know how well it'd sell with the 3D features (given the penetration of 3D TV's), most of the reason it did so well was due to 3D.

The same can be said for Alice in Wonderland too.

Actually, thats pretty bad sales for Avatar at 4m copies, unless it has Twilight-like legs. The movie beat Titanic by a huge margin...You'd think it'd beat Transformers by a wide margin, too.

Yea, but almost no one has 3D TV's.
