The Bucket List Tops DVD Charts

June 19, 2008


Warner Home Video's The Bucket List was the top DVD seller and renter for the week ending June 15, while fellow new release Jumper, from Fox, topped the Blu-ray Disc sales chart.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Bucket," a comedy that generated $93.5 million at the U.S. box office, debuted at No. 1 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart and Home Media Magazine's video rental chart.

Jumper, a sci-fi actioner with $79.9 million in theatrical receipts, bowed at a close No. 2 on the sales chart, selling 88% as many units as "Bucket List." The film also debuted at No. 2 on the rental chart, generating 91.5% as much action at the rental counter as the Warner comedy.

Two other new releases debuted in the First Alert top 10: Sony Pictures' The Other Boleyn Girl at No. 4, and HBO's "John Adams" at No. 5.

Jumper has been the worst movie so far this year (The Happening is following close behind)

Actually, I enjoyed Jumper quite a lot. Doug Liman, director of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Bourne Identity, did a good job keeping the action fresh and imaginative. Looks great on Blu Ray.

2 movies no one wanted to pay to see in the THEATER at the current pricing of going to the movies. These aren't the first movies to hit BIG on DVD after a BAD trip to the Theater.
