Paramount Home Entertainment topped the national video sales and rental charts for the third week this month, this time with the teen comedy "She's the Man," starring Amanda Bynes.
The film, which grossed $33.7 million in theaters, is the first DreamWorks title Paramount distributed on home video.
On VideoScan's First Alert DVD sales
chart for the week ending July 23, "Man" handily beat Warner Home Video's "ATL," a $21.1 million theatrical earner. Buena Vista's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" slipped one notch to No. 3, still riding high on the theatrical momentum of its sequel, the year's No. 1 movie.
On Home Media Retailing's video rental chart for the week, "Man" pushed another Paramount title, "Failure to Launch," to the No. 2 spot. This month, "Launch" gave Paramount its first double win with a first-place debut on the sales and rental charts. The comedy remained on top of both charts the next week, then slipped to No. 3 on the sales chart while retaining its grip as the nation's No. 1 video rental.
Its first week in stores, "Man" generated $6.9 million in rental revenue, more than 20% of its theatrical take. "Failure" generated an additional $5.7 million, bringing its rental earnings after four weeks in stores to $34.2 million — nearly 40% of its boxoffice gross.
