Director Roland Emmerich's March release, which cost just over US$100 million to make, ended up grossing about US$270 million worldwide. The DVD easily beat 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' for the No 1 slot on the Nielsen VideoScan sales chart for the week ending June 29, racking up about 25 per cent more sales than the children's fantasy, which grossed about US$160 million worldwide. The romantic comedy 'Definitely, Maybe' debuted at No 3, followed at No 4 by 'Fool's Gold', the previous week's top seller. '10 000 BC' also topped Home Media Magazine's video rental chart, generating about 20 per cent more activity than second-ranked 'Fool's Gold', which was No 1 the previous week. 'Spiderwick' bowed at No 3, and 'Definitely, Maybe' at No 6. On the Blu-ray chart, '10 000 BC' easily took the top spot. Nampa-Reuters |
