Nim's Island Stays on Top of the DVD Sales and Rental Charts

With hardly any competition, last week's winner was not kicked off the island in the home video charts. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nim's Island stayed put atop the DVD sales and rental charts, for the week ending August 17.

There were no major theatrical releases on DVD this past week, which made it easier for Nim's Island to stay on top, but it also paved the way for many TV DVD sets to enter the top 10 in sales. South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season came in second place on the sales charts, with Prison Break: Season 3 in fourth place and The Wire: The Complete Fifth Season coming in sixth place in DVD sales.

The only new theatrical release to break the top 10, Smart People, finished in seventh place in sales but performed strongly in rentals, taking a close second place, with almost 93% of the rental business that Nim's Island made in its second week.

Things remained mostly the same on the Blu-Ray charts, with Batman Begins remaining in the top spot for Blu-Ray sales with The Bank Job stepping up to second place and 21 slipping to third place in 1080p sales.
