DVD Rentals - Street is Kings of the Rentals
September 3, 2008
New releases did well on the rental charts, but they did not dominate in the way they did on the sales chart. We still had a new number one as Street Kings topped the charts with nearly double the revenue of its nearest competitor.
The rest of the top five were all within 10% with Prom Night just beating out 21 for second place. Smart People secured fourth place. Meanwhile, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior and Nim's Island battled for fifth place.
There were a trio of other new releases to chart with Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day landing in seventh place, which is much better than it performed on the sales chart, which bodes well for its future. Life Before Her Eyes opened in 13th place and likely made more than it did during its entire theatrical run. Finally in 25th place was the debut of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, which was the result of a powerful, powerful Fangirl Effect.
