Dreamworks is quickly becoming the kings of DVD. Their title Gladiator has sold over 5 million copies since its release over a year ago, easily making it the most successful movie ever released on DVD.

Of course, all things must come to an end and Dreamworks is happy that their reign at the top will continue with Shrek. Shrek has sold over 5.5 million DVD copies since its release last month and continues to go strong. With the holiday season ahead, Dreamworks is hoping to see the number of Shrek DVDs sold approach 10 million.
