‘Looper’ debuts atop DVD, VOD charts

Share via

The science-fiction hit “Looper” started off the new year by launching on the top of the DVD and Blu-ray sales and rental charts as well as the video-on-demand charts.

During the first week of January, “Looper” was the only prominent new home entertainment release and was No. 1 by every measure, according to data from Rentrak Corp.

The Sony Pictures release pushed aside “Ted,” which had been the most bought DVD and most popular VOD title, as well as the No. 1 DVD rental “The Dark Knight Rises.”
