Over on the sales chart things were a little more confusing with conflicting reports. Rentak has and The Covenant coming in first place with Snakes on a Plane behind by the merest margin. On the other hand, others report Snakes on a Plane came in first with The Covenant coming in third. Regardless, I think it is clear that Snakes on a Plane was helped by the Fanboy Effect while The Covenant will have a sequel given the go-ahead relatively shortly, (although it will likely be a direct-to-DVD affair).

Jackass - Number Two was either second or third, depending on which source is correct. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest placed fourth while The Devil Wears Prada climbed into fifth place.

The only other new release to chart was Martin - The Complete First Season

- C.S.Strowbridge
