Another Sony title, Underworld: Awakening, topped Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales charts its first week in stores – with The Vow a close second.

The latest entry in the Underworld horror franchise, which earned $62.3 million in theaters, debuted at No. 2 on the first alert and rental charts, giving Sony the two top spots on all three charts.

Meanwhile, demand for Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol remained strong nearly a month after the action hit’s disc release. In its fourth week in stores, the film remained in the top five on all three charts – and on First Alert even rose back up to No. 3 from No. 5 the previous week.

Of the three titles, Ghost Protocol had the highest percentage of sales from the Blu-ray Disc version – 57% – followed closely by Underworld (56%). The Vow, in contrast, generated just 24% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray Disc.

The previous week’s top overall disc seller, Warner’s Joyful Noise, slipped to No. 5 on First Alert, right behind Paramount’s Ghost Protocol at No. 3 and Thor at No. 4. Lionsgate’s Haywire, the prior week’s top Blu-ray seller and renter, slipped to No. 7 on the Nielsen VideoScan Blu-ray Disc sales chart and No. 3 on Home Media Magazine’s rental chart.
