This week that film placed second with a still impressive $10.71 million.Īward Season - Babel and Departed are Goldenĭecember 15th, 2006 Babel led the way when the Golden Globe nominations were announced today with seven nominations while The Departed was close behind with six.ĭecember 9th, 2006 Superman Returns led a group of four new releases, all of which placed in the top ten. There were a boatload of new releases to chart this week led by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest with $12.93 million, which was just a hair lower than Superman Returns's open week rentals from a week ago. While there's not a lot on the top, there's plenty of bulk, so much so we need a second page, which can be found here.ġ0 Million People Purchase Pirate DVDs This Week Also worth picking up is One-Eyed Monster on DVD, but that has a more limited target audience. The clear DVD Pick of the Week is Star Trek - The Original Series - Season One - Blu-ray, which is better than the previous HD DVD release. There are no first run releases that are must haves, nor are there are lot of smaller releases to pick up the slack. Looking at this week's list, that's not a huge surprise.

In fact, it is arguably the weakest time of the year for DVD sales. We are about to enter the summer blockbuster season, which is great for box office numbers, not so good for the home market. Still not so slow that I didn't have to split this week's column into two parts, with the second part found here.ĭVD Releases for April 28th, 2009 - Part I On the other hand, no other release on this week's list came close to be a contender for that title, and overall it was a rather slow week. And while the Blu-ray arrived late, the Two-Disc DVD of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is worthy of the DVD Pick of the Week. The last of the Best Picture Oscar Nominees hits the home market this week. The bold credits above the line are the "above-the-line" credits, the other the "below-the-line" credits.
