Mamma Mia! Beats Out The Dark Knight on the Home Video Charts

It seems Batman's reign atop the home video charts was a short one. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mamma Mia! bested The Dark Knight to take the top spot on the national DVD sales charts for the week ending December 21. The Dark Knight did end up doing some solid biz in second place though, amassing 85% of its first week sales in its sophomore week.

The Dark Knight was also topped in the rental charts as well by another newcomer, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, although The Dark Knight was close on its heels, taking in 93% of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor's rental revenue. Mamma Mia! debuted in third place on the rental charts.

The only place The Dark Knight reigned supreme again was in high-def, taking home the Blu-ray sales crown for the second week in a row. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor debuted in a distant second on the BD charts, with just 30% of The Dark Knight's BD revenue, and Mamma Mia! taking third place on the 1080p charts.

    I got "The Dark Knight" for X-Mas!! Best gift!!

    "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" was 1 of "The Worst Films!" of 2008!!! Pure crap...Wasted time and saw it in theaters!!! I guess Brendan Fraser needed to pay rent!??!

    it's spelled "masturbate" with a "u".

    i tend to agree with the comrade here, i can't speak for anyone else but i know that I didnt waste any time nabbing a copy of tdk when it was released, so i have to think most other people didn't waste any time either.

    I STILL think it's stupid to get pissy about whether or not a movie does well in sales. I mean, if you really like it, why should you care what OTHER people are thinking about it?

    i agree with punisher as well as the opther few.

    TDK was bought on the same day it was released, also so was Mamma Mia to let a load of people.
    But Mamma Mia is still actually on theatres over here in the UK even though it's just been released on DVD

    Well, I think this'll be a good movie, and I don't really care what beats what out of Sales. That's a stupid thing to get pissy over anyway.

    Must be because the DVD sucks balls. No real features and pointless digital copy included. Bet the Blu-ray with all the intended special features did well.

    I figured most people bought TDK when it came out, but waited for Christmas to pick this one up.
