~Batman's Magical Touch~
Gotham Knight landed direct-to-DVD and directly on top of this week's sales chart with sale of $4.86 million from 230,000 units. There was another new release in second place as Superhero Movie! sold 223,000 units for sale of $4.46 million. Vantage Point again led the way in terms of sales with $5.03 million, but that came from 197,000 units, which was only enough for third place. The Ruins opened in fourth place with sale of $4.43 million from 189,000 units while Meet the Browns fell from first to fifth adding 150,000 and $2.66 million to its running tally of 625,000 and $11.41 million.
There were several other new releases to chart this week starting with Stop-Loss, which landed innith place with 94,000 units sold for opening week sales of $1.60 million. Stargate Atlantis - The Complete Fourth Season opened in 11th place with 89,000 units sold, but its sales of $2.85 million would have placed it in the top five going by that metric. Fellow TV on DVD release, Monk - Season Six, opened in 20th place with 41,000 units / $1.63 million in sales while Nature Boy Ric Flair - The Definitive Collection sold 29,000 units for $730,000 and 22nd place.
An additional note, Batman Begins climbed into the top 10 with 94,000 units and $599,000, not counting Blu-ray sales.
Speaking of Blu-rays, it was reported that the Blu-ray version of Batman Begins outsold its DVD counterpart by a significant margin over the week. Perhaps by a 2-1 margin. (Exact figures were not given; in fact, contradictory numbers were given with numbers ranging from 90,000 to 190,000 total Blu-ray units being possible.) Overall Blu-ray sales increased more than 7% to $8.42 million, which was 7.1% of total home market sales. This is not the best percentage attained this year, but the 12% of the top 20 unit sales was. That said, unless The Dark Knight helped move hardware, which is unlikely till it reaches the home market, there will likely be a sharp drop-off with next week's numbers.
