if the sing alongs are still on when we're back at uni, no doubt we'll go along drunk for a laugh!
Went to see it tonight and it was brilliant. The best film I have seen in a long-time even if it was really cheesy. We had the sing-a-long screening,which was great. I want to go again.
i agree it's such a refreshing filmQuote:

:eek: I still cant believe its still in the cinema
i was just saying that to a friend today, i think this could be the biggest movie of 2008
It carnt be at the cinema for much longer as it comes out on Dvd on the 24 of November.....
I think its already the biggest movie of the year the length its already been in the cinema
Of course it's the biggest selling film of the year.
Radio 1 said its the second biggest selling film in the UK ever, behind Titanic.
Its still doing so well in the box office :cheer:
When is DVD released please?
november 24th
COMMERCIALS producer Wordley Production Partners has produced a TV spot for one of the biggest DVD releases of the year.
The Penarth-based company was commissioned by Universal Pictures UK to create a 60-second roadblock spot to launch the DVD release of Mamma Mia, which went on air for the first time on Saturday during ITV’s X Factor.
Mamma Mia is approaching Titanic’s record of the biggest movie ever in UK cinema history. Wordley’s commercial combines memorable moments from the blockbusting film combined with clips of people from all over the UK singing along to Mamma Mia and reliving their favourite scenes from the film.
Stars of the commercial include stall-holders at Cardiff Market, a tyre fitter from Hi Q tyres and a hair stylist from Jego salon in Llanishen, Cardiff.
Sarah Jones, the TV spot’s producer at Wordley, said: “Universal wanted to create a spot that really captured the feel-good factor, so the Wordley production team hit the streets of the UK to find fans of the film willing to dance and sing-along.
“We captured hundreds of people on camera including market stall holders, hairdressers, lollipop ladies, bakers and even a tyre fitter.
“The British public really stepped up to the mark and performed brilliantly, showing exactly why Mamma Mia was such a cinema hit.”
Wordley Production handled the spot production from planning to station delivery including a one-day “proof of concept” test shoot, the four-day UK-wide shoot, final editing and audio mastering.
Wordley Production’s director on the project, Marcus Thomas, said: “The Mamma Mia DVD TV spots were a brilliant opportunity to demonstrate our live action expertise, rather than just stick to clips from the film.
“The filming and production of the commercial was a great experience from start to finish, with the final version given the nod by ABBA’s Benny Andersson.
“The willingness and resources to get out there in all weathers to deliver the goods is not something that many other home entertainment advertising producers can provide.”
Kay Moneypenny from Jego Hair salon said: “We were so chuffed to be approached by Wordley to take part in an advert for such a massive film, after all the film is just legendary and we just love ABBA.
“In between cutting and shampooing hair, we had to sing straight at the cameras while belting away into hairbrushes.
“The whole salon was buzzing after the filming, and even though we were out of tune it was so fun and it’s been a great talking point every since.”
The DVD was released on Monday and pre and post release spots are running throughout that period.
Wordley Production’s recent TV spot productions for Universal include Wanted, Step Up 2: The Streets and The Kingdom.
The company has produced commercials for a range of clients including Mitsubishi, Nationwide, Confused.com, Furniture Village and Central Office of Information.
My local Tesco is selling the dvd for £7 for this week only. They've sold out, I hope I can get a copy before the price goes back up.

I didnt think there was anyone left to see it apart from those who detest abba and musicals,
I love it and have saw it many times
I have never seen it.. I like Abba and I like Musicals, I just never got around to it and will probably get the DVD at some stage
Me too - I love Abba - I adore musicals and I have seen the stage version but I haven't seen the movie yet. My kids are going to give it to me at Christmas I think.Quote:

The more I read this thread, the more I really want the DVD. Going to Tesco later to see if they have it in :D
I wasn't sure about it first. Abba aren't my favourite band but the film is something else.
Strange - I was thinking about whether it would be higher selling than Titanic or not. (be being obsessed with titanic lmao)Quote:

Mamma Mia!, which was released in cinemas in July, has taken more than £66m at the UK box office.
Universal's managing director, Ian Foster, said the success of Mamma Mia! was a "testament to the fun-loving spirit of the British public and the universal appeal of this wonderful film".
A spokesman for supermarket Asda said 300,000 copies had been sold in its stores with, 15% of shoppers buying a copy on Monday.
Last month, Mamma Mia! became the highest-grossing British film at the UK box office, beating the previous holder of the record, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
It is now the second highest-grossing film in UK box office history behind Titanic.
Meanwhile, this weekend, chart-topper Quantum of Solace took £2.9 milllion and has now taken £45.1 million in the UK so far.
It beat competition from espionage thriller Body of Lies - starring Leonardo DiCaprio - which made its debut at number two with takings of £991,979.
Love-triangle comedy My Best Friend's Girl, starring Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs and Dane Cook, opened in third place with £911,355.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year dropped a place to number four, with £605,704, and US comedy Zack And Miri Make A Porno also slipped to number five, taking £447,485.
I can't get hold of it anywhere :crying: Guess that's the bank telling me to put it on my xmas list and not my overdraft :p
I got it in Asda today for £7 want me to send you one in the post.
Aren't you a kind soul. Thanks for the offer but I really should put it on the xmas list. Although £7 isn't that big a dent in the overdraft...
I'll wait, it will teach me to be patient :angel:
Well don't come on here on Christmas day crying cause Santa didn't put it in your stocking. I bought a copy of it today for Marley and I'm going shopping tomorrow, it won't kill me to pick up and extra copy.
You've twisted my arm. I'll pm you my address :D
arent you a kind bunch :D
Awww thats so nice :)
I love this film its one of those one you'll never get bored of
Mum went tesco, asda, sainsburry's and woolies on friday, couldn't get it anywhere, went to tesco yesterday and they had loads but were all £14 so i thought i'd wait and get on from play.com, only we went to asda after and i went on the dvd aisle not expecting to find it, and i didnt. I was looking at the CSI box sets, pulled one forward and behind it was the last copy for £7 :D:D:D:D i think someone may have put it there hoping to come and get it later but least to say i was happy :D watched it 3 times since getting yesterday afternoon :D
yeah has been hid by someone lol good for u for finding it
