'WALL-E' cleans up in DVD, Blu-ray bowRobot tale is top seller, No. 2 renter behind 'Thunder'Nov 26, 2008, 04:53 PM ET
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's "WALL-E" was the top seller and No. 2 renter on the home entertainment charts, topping the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart and scoring a strong second-place finish on Home Media Magazine's rental chart for the week ending Nov. 23. "WALL-E" also was the week's No. 1 Blu-ray Disc seller. Fellow new release "Tropic Thunder," from Paramount, debuted at No. 2 on the overall home video sales chart and the Blu-ray sales chart. But in rental stores the comedy, which earned $110.5 million at the domestic boxoffice, saw the most action last week, bowing at No. 1 on Home Media Magazine's rental chart. "WALL-E" finished not far behind, though, with 83.2% as much rental activity, a strong showing for an animated family title geared toward the sell-through market. Warner Home Video's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," a third theatrical new release, bowed at No. 5 on the sales chart and No. 6 on the rental chart. The previous week's top seller, Paramount/DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda," slipped to No. 3 on the overall home video sales chart, and the previous week's top renter, Universal Studios' "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," fell to No. 4 with a 37% drop in rental demand.
