The Hobbit – Battle Of The Five Armies is on course to become one of the biggest and fastest selling video titles of the year, after selling over 310,000 copies in its first half-week on sale.

If it continues at the same rate, the mammoth title is likely to rival Paddington’s first week by the time the Official Video Chart is unveiled this Sunday – Paddington posted 460,000 sales in its opening week last month.

A Number 1 in the Official Video Chart on Sunday would make a third chart-topper for the Hobbit, following the success of The Desolation of Smaug and An Unexpected Journey. It may also mean a one-two this week, with the trilogy box-set currently on course for Number 2 in this Sunday’s final chart, on three-day sales of 25,000 copies.

It would also be a third Number 1 in 2015 for Warner Home Video - previous Number 1s were Game Of Thrones - Complete Fourth Season in February & Interstellar earlier this month.

As things stand, each of the Top 4 positions are set to be filled by new entries, with Dumb & Dumber To at three and Tinker Bell Legend Of The Neverbeast at four, halfway through the week.

Notably, the TV series Stella is set to enter at Number 9 as things stand, with the Series 4 and Xmas Special 2014 Box Set. This would be easily the series’ highest chart position, with series 1 reaching 54, series 2 reaching 59 and series 3 reaching 43.
