There were just four new releases to chart on this week's rental charts, but three of them placed in the top five. This includes the new number one renter, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, which pulled in $9.26 million in rentals. Spider-man 3 was pushed into second place but with $8.01 million in rentals for the week and $17.71 million in total, it is still doing very well. Despite leading the sales chart, Ratatouille had to settle for third on the rental chart; however, it is common for family films to chart higher on the sales chart compared to the rental chart and $7.57 million in opening week rentals is still a great start. Deck the Halls opened in fourth place with $6.22 million, which is a better than expected start. The final film in the top five was The Transformers, as it added $5.32 million to its running tally of $30.96 million.

The only new release to chart this week that did reach the top five was Sicko, which placed sixth with $5.10 million.
