This week we see almost 100 new DVD & Blu-ray releases hitting the streets on Tuesday, December 4th, 2012. Amongst the list are a few highly anticipated projects with stars like Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Albert Brooks (voice), Jennifer Garner, Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Patrick Stewart and Tom Green. (Some MST3K and Godzilla fans might want to check out the “other titles” section below!)
But first…
Top Selling & Rental Titles
For the week ending Nov. 18th, Rentrak Corporation reports that Brave is the No. 1 selling titled, followed by The Amazing Spider-Man, Savages, The Watch and Arthur Christmas rounding out the top-five titles. (The Avengers is eighth on the list of top-sellers.)
(Did you catch my review of Savages?)
The rental list is a little bit different from the sellers.
The Amazing Spider-Man leads the list, followed by Prometheus, The Campaign, Brave and That’s My Boy in the top-five of the rental realm. (The Avengers is seventh on this list.)
Does anyone find it interesting that folks are curious enough to make Prometheus a top-five rental, but it doesn’t even crack the list of top-ten sellers? To me, I can guess that folks are curious. But not committed to the newest in the Alien franchise of Ridley Scott’s. I could be wrong, but that’s my first thought when I see these charts.

About Bruce Simmons
I've been writing newsletters since 1999. Of late, I've been focusing on the entertainment consumer angle on mostly the sci-fi, fantasy and action genres of TV, movies and books.

I think you are right on the money with Prometheus.. although I havent even rented it yet.
Watched MIB3 on Sunday night after your recommendation, not bad. Not ground breaking but didnt expect it to be.
Looking forward to seeing Batman film and also getting round to Spiderman..
