Here are the charts for life after theatrical, and a few notes on those who might be getting a second chance at paying the bills.
DVD
(source: Billboard.com – includes television)
- 12 Rounds
- Princess Protection Program
- Gran Torino
- Entourage: The Complete Fifth Season
- Confessions of a Shopaholic
- Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience
- Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail
- Stargate: Atlantis: Season 5
- Inkheart
- Transformers
WWE Films getting another shot with 12 Rounds at number one after pulling down only $12 million theatrical.
Disney Channel original movie Princess Protection Program coming in at #2 with the exact opposite demo.
I kind of forgot about Madea Goes to Jail and just assumed it didn’t do that well because I didn’t hear much about it. Actually, it made $90 million theatrical. By far his best showing EVER. Compare that to the Jonas Brothers concert movie, which scored only $7 million more than 12 Rounds.
That’s right, Tyler Perry kicked the Jonas Brothers’ collective ass.
Inkheart ($17 million) getting a new lease on life at #9.
And Transformers, for some reason back on people’s minds, rounds out the top ten.

- Van Wilder: Freshman Year
- Confessions of a Shopaholic
- The Haunting in Connecticut
- Princess Protection Program
- Push
- Knowing
- Twilight
- Fired Up!
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
- Gran Torino
People love them some Van Wilder.
Haunting in Connecticut getting a second life after a $55 million run (kind of surprised it made that much).
Knowing at #6 after making about $80 million theatrical, so it shouldn’t be too much of a shocker that it’s doing well. I think the shocker is that it did $80 million theatrical, since people seemed to forget about it right after it came out.
Push, on the other hand, has a lot more to improve on after making $31 million.
Fired Up! (remember that?) getting a second shot after $17 million domestic. Teen comedy survives well on home vid. Maybe that’s why they keep making them.
Hitchiker’s squeaking in at #9, probably due to the $4.99 price tag.

- Duplicity
- Watchmen
- Land of the Lost
- Knowing
- Adventureland
- Miss March
- Angels and Demons
- 17 Again
- Transformers 2
- Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Duplicity getting more love here than in theaters. Bodes well for video after a disappointing $40 million theatrical bow.
Land of the Lost also doing better here than in theaters. It has made only $8 million more than Duplicity thus far but cost $40 million more (not counting marketing costs, which I’m going to guess were a touch higher than Duplicity’s as well).
Adventureland smack in the middle. I keep forgetting to tell people that it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen all year.
Miss March coming in at #6 belying a miserable $4.5 million theatrical gross. Again, the teen comedies have an afterlife.
Transformers 2 at #9 after spending its first two weeks at #4. Kind of surprised it was never #1.
