The same three new releases that topped the sales chart this week also topped the rental charts, and they finished in the same order. Knowing opened in first place with more than Push and The Unborn made combined. 12 Rounds and Confessions of a Shopaholic were neck-and-neck for fourth place.

The only other new release to chart was Five Fingers, which placed 17th during its opening week.

Overall rentals were up 9.7% from last week to $142.2 million, which was 2.9% higher than the same weekend last year, which ends 2009's losing streak at two weeks.
