Arnold arner Home Video’s 300 juggernaut continued to roll over the competition its second week in stores, as the fastpaced action movie retained the top spot on the national home video sales chart the week ended Aug. 12 despite a strong challenge from newcomer Disturbia, from Paramount and DreamWorks. The latter, an edgy thriller with a box office pedigree of more than $80 million, debuted at No. 2 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, although its total unit sales were only about 53% of what 300 did its sophomore week. Disturbia did manage a No. 1 bow on Home Media Magazine’s video rental chart, generating $9.7 million in rental revenue. That was enough to push 300 down to No. 2, even TOP 10 RANK TITLE I N D I E R E TAI LE R R E NTALS Week ended August 12, 2007 STREET DATE VIDEO LABEL GENRE W though the movie managed to generate an additional $9.5 million, a decline of just 20% from its opening-week tally.

Sony Pictures’ Are We Done Yet?, a sequel comedy to Are We There Yet?, both with Ice Cube, that grossed $49.7 million in theaters, debuted at No. 4 on the sales chart and No. 3 on the rental chart, with earnings pegged at $6.8 million. Rounding out the First Alert top five was Fox’s season-10 set of “The Simpsons,” which bowed at No. 5. In the high-definition disc arena, 300 was the No. 1 seller on both the Blu-ray Disc and the HD DVD chart. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Disturbia 300 Hot Fuzz Are We Done Yet?
