In The Third Austin Powers Installment
Los Angeles, CA (October 7, 2002) -- That suave and stealthy
swinger is back. Austin Powers, a.k.a. Mike Myers, the original
international man of mystery, returns to save the world, break
hearts and reunite his family in Austin Powers in Goldmember,
debuting on VHS and DVD December 3. With the biggest movie comedy
opening weekend gross in history, Austin Powers in Goldmember
will be released on New Line Home Entertainment's (NLHE) premium
DVD label, infinifilm, priced to own at $26.98
on DVD and $22.94 on VHS.
Austin Powers in Goldmember has grossed more than $210
"mil-ee-un" dollars surpassing the second in the series, Austin
Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me which mined $204.5 million
after its 1999 release. The franchise has earned a total of $470
million at the U.S. box office with the first two titles selling
over 14 million copies on VHS and DVD.
Goldmember will be the first of the Austin Powers films
released on NLHE's breakthrough infinifilm DVD
label. Designed to take viewers "beyond-the-movie" by providing
a wide range of specially crafted, highly coordinated in-depth
explorations of the film's subject matter and themes, infinifilm
supplemental materials can also be accessed through "Pop-Up" navigation
menus while watching the film, offering viewers more control of
their movie watching experience.
"While it all starts with Mike Meyers, Austin's brilliant creator,
video rentals and sales of the initial film, Austin Powers
International Man of Mystery helped propel this great franchise,"
said Stephen Einhorn, President of New Line Home Entertainment.
"It ruled the Billboard video charts throughout 1998, creating
the Īmust see' furor for the second and third installments."

(The Cider House Rules) as Nigel Powers; Beyoncˇ
Knowles (Carmen: A Hip Hopera, multi-platinum singing
group Destiny's Child) as Foxxy Cleopatra; and Fred Savage ("The
