Distribution has however been hit by printing problems, with only 230,000 copies ready against the one million that had been expected to ship this weekend, its distributor MLP said.
The technical problem had been resolved and 鈥渄istribution will resume normally on Monday鈥�, MLP said.
The issue was the first since two Islamist gunmen stormed Charlie Hebdo鈥檚 Paris office on January 7 and massacred 12 people, saying they were taking revenge for previous publications of Mohammed cartoons 鈥� considered deeply offensive to many Muslims.
The no-holds-barred publication defiantly published what it called the 鈥渟urvivors鈥� issue鈥� on Wednesday, featuring Mohammed in a white turban and holding a sign that reads 鈥淛e suis Charlie鈥� under the words: 鈥淎ll is forgiven.鈥�
黑料社agents on Friday received another million copies of the issue, which 鈥渋s still selling well鈥� but not in the frenzy seen the previous two days after the issue came out, according to the French printing union UNDP.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the 27,000 news outlets in France sold out within hours, with newspaper vendors selling a total of 1.2 million copies.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of copies have been bought by companies, institutions and communities.
Parisian theatres bought 25,000 copies to distribute to patrons and Air France took tens of thousands for its passengers, said MLP.
A further 150,000 are being shipped abroad. Germany is the largest buyer, with MLP to deliver 55,000 copies by Monday.
