Fox basically owned the DVD market this past week. The studio grabbed the top four spots in DVD sales and top 2 places for DVD rentals with its latest releases. Juno debuted at No. 1 on both the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert Sales chart and Home Media Magazine's rental chart, with Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem bowing at No. 2 on both charts.
Alvin and the Chipmunks, the nation's top DVD seller for the last two weeks, slipped to No. 3 on First Alert, while a third new release, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, debuted at No. 4.
In rental revenue, Juno generated an estimated $8.4 million in its first week according to Home Media Magazine market research. "Requiem" finished close behind with $7.7 million.
On Blu, "Requiem" came out on top while Juno bowed at No. 2.
