There was only one new release to reach the top five this week, or the top ten for that matter, as Blades of Glory opened with $9.47 million in rentals. This pushed Wild Hogs into second place with $5.12 million for the week and $22.87 million in total. Perfect Stranger actually rose from fifth to third with $4.64 million for the week and $9.97 million after two, but that is still disappointing given the star power. Vacancy remained in fourth place earning $4.60 million and with $16.50 million in rentals so far, it won't be long before it makes more than it did theatrically. Finally, Fracture managed to grab fifth place with $4.55 million for a three-week total of $16.80 million.

There were three other new releases to chart this week led by Kickin' It Old Skool, but with just $1.93 million in 16th place, led might not be the right word. Heroes - The Complete First Season placed 22nd with $1.46 million, which is impressive for TV on DVD. Finally, Year of the Dog opened in 39th place with $720,000, which is about half of what it made theatrically.
