That's an increase of 16% over last year, which is an unbelievable pace, one that I assume 2009 will not be able to keep up.
Year-to-date, 2009 has now amassed an impressive $3.44 billion compared to just $2.96 billion this time last year. Yes, the overall box office was down 5.5% from last weekend to $149 million, but that was just shy of 20% more than the same weekend last year. It was a good news / bad news type of weekend, but I think it is safe to say the good news outshone the bad news. That said, this time last year was a little weaker than expected as Prince Caspian stumbled out of the gate. On the other hand, the original did not impress critics and that could hurt this film's run.

On the one hand, so far 2009 has been amazing at the box office with almost no movie really faltering. Summer looks to go three for three with the release of Angels and Demons. Year-to-date, 2009 has brought in $3.62 billion compared to last year's pace of $3.13 billion, which is an increase of close to 16%. However, at $137 million, it was up 4.2% from the same weekend last year.
There were mixed results at the weekend box office as Angels and Demons missed the low end of most analysts' expectations, which led to an 8% decline in box office numbers from last weekend.

The best from this week is Flight of the Conchords - Season Two, which is the DVD Pick of the Week. The best releases on this week's list are Dollhouse - Season One on DVD or Blu-ray, as well as Watchmen - Three-Disc Director's Cut Blu-ray, but both of those came out in weeks past and are on this list because the screener arrived late. Obsessed came out on top with 27% more rentals than Race to Witch Mountain, but it is common for kids movies to do better on the sales chart than the rental chart.Ī rather slow week for new releases with very few real first run releases that stand out. The same two new releases that took the top two spots on the sales chart this week were also able to take the top two spots on the rental chart as well, but in the other order. This includes Race to Witch Mountain, which sold 763,000 units earning $13.35 million during its first week on the home market.ĭVD Rentals - Obsessed with the Race for First Place There were only five new releases to chart this week, but three of those reached the top five. However, they finished in the opposite direction with I Love You, Man generating 50% more revenue than 17 Again. The same two new releases that led the way on the sales chart this week led the way on the rental chart. This was just ahead of I Love You, Man with 676,000 units sold generating $11.00 million in sales. The number one film was 17 Again with $12.03 million from 679,000 units. New releases were able to take the top two spots on the sales chart this week, but this was more due to weakness in the overall numbers rather than strength of the new releases. The Last House on the Left opened in first place with nearly 50% more rentals that I Love You, Man. There were only half as many new releases to reach the top 30 on the rental chart this week as there were on the sales chart, but we still had a new number one.
