According to The-Numbers.com, the second Futurama movie, The Beast with a Billion Backs has sold around 170,000 copies, collecting $3.6 million in only 3 weeks (the release date was on June 24, 2008). The first movie, Bender's Big Score, has reached more than 900,000 copies, grossing a stunning $16.6 million since the release on November 27, 2007. Between the 2 movies the total until now is of 20.2 million dollars (More info here and here).

This looks great for a show one time cancelled by FOX, and brought back to life later thanks to neat advertising and re-runs on Cartoon Network (Adult Swim) and Comedy Central. Let's just hope the 2nd, 3rd and 4th movies can sell like the first one, so then an estimated total of $60 millon (~$15 millon per movie) can prove FOX that Futurama deserves another chance.
