Movie and DVD sales, and television viewership, for the week of November 11 – 18.
Not a lot of news at the Box Office. Paranormal Activity 3 is still in the top 10 movies. Shark Night 3D reappears on the chart after a two week absence (somehow?) I won’t be surprised if Tucker & Dale vs Evil and Texas Killing Fields disappear next week, much like the Fright Night remake did this week.

Some interesting things at the DVD Top 30 Chart. The release of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 last week has caused a new wave of sales in the franchise. Expect to see more next week when we get official numbers. The trailer release for the latest Twilight movie has the same effect. Wrong Turn 4 will probably be the last entry in the series due to low sales numbers. Scream 4 is outside the top 30, but I was still able to get numbers; and still stunned by how poorly it has done overall.

Once Upon A Time is still the most watched horror/scifi show according to the Nielson ratings. The Walking Dead is still doing great though, averaging over 6mil viewers an episode. American Horror Story is way up in viewership, as Scare Tactics hits a new low. Also, Grimm is doing decently and I hope it sticks around because I’m beginning to like it.

Terra Nova – 7,060,000
The Walking Dead – 6,124,000
