Ok, here it is for the week. No OAR vs MAR new releases but here is what we have.
Number one was "Pirates of the Carribean" No MAR Release for this title. According to figures at Video Business 9.9 million DVDs were sold in the first week. And some factions claim that people want P&S. By these numbers, a WS only release does not seem to be stopping people from picking this one up. Hopefully studios will realize we don't really need this dual release nonsense
Number Two was "Finding Nemo"
Number three was "X-Men 2" WS. P&S fell to number 15
Number Four was "Bruce Almighty" WS. P&S Fell to number 13
Number Five was "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" The OAR re-release continues to climb into the top 5. Warner, plese give the those MAR "Flat Comedies" Anamorphic re-releases!
Number Six was "The Two Towers: Theatrical" WS. P&S did not make the top 20
Number Seven was "T3" WS P&S did not make the top 20
Number Eight was "The Two Towers: Exended Edition" No MAR release.
Number Nine was "Indiana Jones" WS. P&S did not make the top 20
Number Ten was "The Santa Clause 2" P&S did not make the top 20
Number Eleven was "The Matrix Reloaded" WS. P&S did not make the top 20
Number Twelve was "A Christmas Story: Special Edition"
Number Fourteen was "The Lion King"
Number Sixteen was "The Alien Quadrilogy" Was hoping it would be higher, but not bad for such a massive boxset that was somewhat costly (depending on where you bought it)
Number Seventeen was "Scarface" WS The P&S did not make the top 20
Number Eighteen was "Legally Blonde 2" No MAR Release
Number Nineteen was "Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life" WS P&S did not make the top 20
Number Twenty was "West Wing First Season"
