For the first time in weeks, one film ruled both races...Lionsgate's 3:10 to Yuma topped both the national home video sales and rental charts for the week ending Jan. 13, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The
film earned $53.6 million in theaters and easily captured the top spot on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, outselling Sony's Resident Evil: Extinction, in its second week of release, by a margin of 4-to-1. Also new to the First Alert top 10 are three new releases: Sony's Dragon Wars at No. 4 and from 20th Century Fox Death Sentence at No. 5 and Sunshine at No. 9.

On Home Media Magazine's video rental chart, "Yuma" shot to No. 1 in its first week with estimated rental revenue of $10.8 million, or 20% of the film's theatrical gross. Last week's top renter, Lionsgate's War, held tight at No. 2 in its second week, adding another $9.7 million to its coffers. War has generated an estimated $21.5 million in rental revenue, or 96% of its theatrical gross of $22.5 million.

On the HD front, "Yuma" topped the Blu-ray Disc chart for the week, while The Kingdom remained the No. 1 HD DVD seller.

Never been much of a western fan myself. But a good movie's a good movie. And 3:10 to Yuma was a damn fine flick.

I really need to rent Yuma. I've been dying to see it.

Yuma was bloody brilliant. And I can't believe "Dragon Wars" is at No. 4. Pfft. I guess there's no accounting for taste in this country.
