This week in the new DVD and Blu-ray release titles, we have vampires, love, and TV spies coming to the list of new DVD and Blu-ray releases this week, on Tuesday, May 8th, 2012! Not to mention a few episodes of “The good doctor!” If you know what I mean!
From the easy on the eyes Kate Beckinsale, & Channing Tatum to the geeky spy sleuthery of Zachary Levi, there’s lots of fun stuff to be had this week. Especially if you like a bit of time traveling in your adventures! But first, for the inquiring minds out there…
For the week ending April 28th, these titles were the top sellers:
- Contraband
- Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
- War Horse
- Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
- Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season
- We Bought a Zoo
- The Muppets
- The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
- The Darkest Hour
- Captain America: The First Avenger
Game of Thrones has been a top-10 seller for the entirety of the 8 weeks its been out. And it looks like Joss Whedon’s movie, The Avengers, has helped spark some interest in the prequel movies, as evidenced by the resurgence of Captain America to the top-10 list.
