‘Hunger Games’ tops DVD sales and rental charts

The odds didn’t favor any DVDs except for “The Hunger Games” last week.

Despite debuting on Saturday, the last day of the reporting period for this cycle, the big-screen adaptation of the bestselling book was the most bought and most rented DVD and Blu-ray disc in the U.S. for the week ended Sunday.

Lionsgate previously said that “The Hunger Games,” which grossed a phenomenal $408 million at the domestic box office, had sold 3.8 million discs over the weekend in the U.S. and Canada, more than the last two “Twilight” pictures.

Five other new DVDs were released last week and made the Top 10 sales chart. They included the most recent seasons of the TV shows “Dexter,” “Glee” and “Community,” as well as the cult favorite action film “Raid: The Redemption” and a re-issue of “Jaws.”

The animated family film “The Lorax,” which debuted the prior week, was No. 2 behind “The Hunger Games” on the sales and rental charts last week.
