THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS - FAST AND FURIOUS DEBUT FOR UNIVERSAL DVD

FAST AND FURIOUS DEBUT FOR UNIVERSAL DVD

Universal Studios scored strongly on the video sales charts last week, taking the two top spots, with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift landing in first place and the animated Curious George landing in second. Home Media Retailing magazine estimated that the two titles together generated more than $60 million in total sales. The top rental item for the week was Warner's The Lake House, which placed third in sales. Home Media Retailing estimated its rental gross at $7.4 million. Tokyo Drift placed third on the rental charts with about $3.9 million, behind Lucky Number Slevin, which, after three weeks, has now earned $20.5 million in rental income -- almost as much as it earned during its entire run in theaters.
