DVD Rentals - New Releases Dominate First Full Week of New Year

January 19, 2009

New releases took the top four spots on the rental chart this week, just as they did on the sales chart, and they did it mostly in the same order. Pineapple Express led the way with about 16% more rentals than second place Righteous Kill. The only difference in the top five was Bangkok Dangerous and Babylon A.D. switching places. Eagle Eye fell from first to fifth.

Other new releases to chart include Disaster Movie in 15th place and Behind Enemy Lines - Colombia in 18th. Meanwhile, The Wackness opened in 29th place.
