Arnold t was a three-way split decision on the home entertainment charts the week ended Oct. 12. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s Sleeping Beauty, all spruced up in a two-disc Platinum Edition, took the top spot on the national sales chart, while 20th Century Fox’s The Happening was the top rental, and Paramount’s Iron Man topped the Blu-ray Disc sales chart for the second consecutive week. Coming in a close second on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart was Paramount’s Iron Man, which had debuted at No. 1 the previous week with sales of 7.2 million DVDs and more than 500,000 Blu-ray Discs its first six days in stores. The actioner’s first-week DVD sales tally set a record for the year, while its Bluray Disc sales total is an all-time high. I The Happening debuted at No. 3 on the sales chart, edging out Sony Pictures’ You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, the latest Adam Sandler comedy to hit the home entertainment market, which bowed at No. 4 Three other new releases debuted in the top 10: season 11 of “The Simpsons,” from 20th Century Fox, at No. 7; season two of “30 Rock,” from Universal Studios, at No. 8; and the directto-video thriller sequel Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, from 20th Century Fox. On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart, You Don’t Mess With the Zohan debuted at No. 2, in a virtual dead heat with The Happening. The previous week’s top renter, Iron Man, slipped to No. 3.
