( The Smurfs is a bit of a complicated case, but more on that in a second.) First place went to The Help with 1.75 million units sold generating $29.78 million in revenue. New releases took four or five of the top five spots on the DVD sales chart this week. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 42%, which was good for a comedy. The Hangover II was the first of three new releases on top of this week's Blu-ray sales chart, selling 951,000 units while generating $16.89 million. Last minute Christmas sales may have resulted in deeper discounts for DVDs than Blu-rays, at least as a percentage, which could be a mitigating factor. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 49%, which was good compared to the average of the format, but weak for the genre. Planet of the Apes sold 675,000 units generating $15.59 million. Rise of the Planet of the Apes led the way on the Blu-ray sales chart, but with only a few new releases that managed to chart, the overall sales were weak. That's a very good share for a drama, but its overall home market run is disappointing. It was able to sell 274,000 units while generating $4.93 million in revenue, giving it an opening week Blu-ray share of 40%. On the other hand, only one of those new releases, Contagion, did any significant business. On the one hand, there were five new releases that charted this week, including three in the top ten. The Blu-ray sales chart was both busy and slow this week.
