My Best Friend’s Girl ($19.2 million), also from Lionsgate, debuted at No. 3 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart for the week ended Jan. 18, even though it sold less than half as many copies as The Family That Preys. The 20th Century Fox horror film Mirrors ($30.7 million) bowed at No. 4 on the sales chart, while the Warner/New Line Western Appaloosa T ($20.2 million) entered at No. 5. Sony Pictures’ Pineapple Express slid to No. 2 on the sales chart but retained its top slot on Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week, followed by My Best Friend’s Girl at No. 2. Anchor Bay’s Righteous Kill slipped from No. 2 to No. 3 its second week in stores, while fourth place on the rental chart went to Mirrors. Of the other new releases, The Family That Preys debuted at No. 7 on the rental chart, with Appaloosa at No. 9. On the Blu-ray Disc sales chart, also from Nielsen VideoScan, Warner’s The Dark Knight regained the No. 1 slot yet again, even though it’s been out since early December.
