Paramount/DreamWorks Horror ‘21’ Hits Jackpot on Disc By Thomas K. Arnold he Sony Pictures Home Entertainment drama 21 aced the DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales and rental charts the week ended July 27, debuting at No. 1 in a relatively slow week for hot new releases. With a box office gross of $81.2 million, 21 was the only new theatrical feature to be released to the home entertainment market its first week in stores. Not surprisingly, then, the film easily captured the top spot on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, outselling Walt Disney Studios’ Step Up 2 The Streets, the previous week’s No. 1, by a nearly 4-to-1 margin. TOP 10 RANK STREET TITLE I N DI E RE TA I L E R RE N TA L S Week ended July 27, 2008 VIDEO DATE LABEL GENRE T Warner’s Batman Begins, recently re-released as a limited-edition gift set, remained in high demand; it was still at No. 3, no doubt buoyed by the theatrical success of The Dark Knight. On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart, 21 was the only new release among the week’s top rentals. The previous week’s top rental, Lionsgate’s The Bank Job, slipped to No. 2 but still generated 81% as much action in rental stores as 21. The Blu-ray Disc First Alert chart also was topped by 21 for the week, with Warner’s Batman Begins a solid No. 2. New Blu-ray Disc editions of The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King, all from Universal Studios, bowed at No. 3, No. 5 and No. 8, respectively. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 21 The Bank Job College Road Trip Shutter Penelope Step Up 2 The Streets Drillbit Taylor The Bucket List Definitely, Maybe Vantage Point 7/22/08 7/15/08 7/15/08 7/15/08 7/15/08 7/15/08 7/1/08 6/10/08 6/24/08 7/1/08 Sony Pictures Lionsgate Disney Fox Summit Disney/Touchstone Paramount Warner Universal Sony Pictures Drama Thriller Comedy Horror Fantasy Drama Comedy Comedy Comedy Thriller Source: iDEA DataMine www.idealink.org/datamine TOP 20 SELLERS Week Ended July 27, 2008 RANK THIS LAST WEEK WEEK TITLE GENRE VIDEO LABEL WEEKS ON CHART BOX OFFICE (MILLIONS) INDEX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Robot Chicken: Star Wars Warner New 1 4 3 2 New 8 16 9 5 12 19 11 6 36 29 7 80 20 22 21 Step Up 2 The Streets Batman Begins The Bank Job College Road Trip Robot Chicken: Star Wars 10,000 B.C.
