SOURCE CODE US BOX ART - SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT

Source Code DVD & Blu-Ray has entered the US national home entertainment charts at Number 1! Reported on Hollywood Reporter yesterday:

Summit Entertainment stormed to the top of the national home entertainment charts last week with Source Code, a PG-13-rated action thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal that generated $54.7 million in theaters.

Report supported by Rentrakfor week of July 24th – 30th (Source Code release on the 26th July in the US)

Some interesting figures also on the uptake of the the Blu-Ray release, no doubt helped somewhat by an exclusive lenticular sleeve release for the Best Buy chain:

Source Code generated 41 percent of its first-week sales from Blu-ray Disc, significantly higher than the latest weekly percentage for Rango (28 percent) or Limitless (33 percent).

Possible we could also see this trend continue for the UK DVD / Blu-Ray release on August 15th as well, with an exclusive steel book case edition Blu-Ray now sold out due to popular demand on pre-order with popular online retailer Play.com.

And don’t forget UK pals, if you can’t wait until August 15th, rental chain Blockbuster have Source Code available to rent NOW! I picked up a copy last Friday, chap in the shop said he loved it, and it has been very popular so far, there were hardly any left on the shelf when I picked it up :)

Thanks to our good friend Larry Richman in the US for the Hollywood Reporter link.

MOON Sold Out?

Last in the rack Twitpic at Best Buy from Laurence Reichman

Duncan Jones’ MOON starring Sam Rockwell, was released on Blu-Ray and DVD in the US & Canada last Tuesday 12th January 2010, and although we have no sales figures yet, from the comments we’ve seen over on Twitter, it seems sales are brisk, and in some cases, it is sold out at branches of major US retailers such as Target and Best Buy. Check out these comments:

Easy day so far. Been trying to buy Moon and Hurt Locker Blu-Ray but it’s sold out. This is bittersweet.

From Matthew Klekner

@ManMadeMoon Went to 2 stores at lunch to buy Blu-Ray MOON for my bro’s birthday – BOTH SOLD OUT!! Frustrated/happy #SamRockwellOscar

From Robert Tarr

WeHo Best Buy & Target both sold out of Blu-Ray. Copies of MOON. Hopefully academy voters got their hands on some… #moon #rockwell

From Aaron B

@ManMadeMoon hey, Moon is sold out at my local Target. I figured that was awesome:)

From Melissa Gill

And this from respected Movie Journalist Scott Weinberg

The big Best Buy in NE Phily = Totally sold out of MOON.

Hopefully all those lovely Academy Voters getting out early to see what all the fuss is about. Not too shabby for a little British Indie Sci-Fi film, not too shabby at all. Also nice to see it flying high in the Tower top 100 Blu-Rays

There is an awful lot of MOON love out there, especially from people that did not get a chance to see it’s limited theatrical release.
