Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay 7/29/08 10 Tween Stars Rule the Charts By Thomas K. Arnold he appeal of the Disney brand to tweens was most apparent on home video the week ended Aug. 24. Camp Rock, with the Jonas Brothers, and Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert debuted at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, on the national home video sales chart. Sandwiched between was 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s Street Kings, which overcame a box office gross of just $26.4 million to debut at No. 2 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart — and No. 1 on Home Media Magazine’s video rental chart. The thriller handily beat Sony Pictures’ horror remake Prom Night, which despite a bigger box office of $43.9 million bowed at No. 7 on T the sales chart and No. 2 on the rental chart. For the first time in recent memory, the eight top-selling videos were all new releases.
