Horror Sales: The Devil Inside, Final Destination 5, and Face Off

Movie sales, DVD sales, and television viewership for January 6 to January 12, 2012.

No surprise here that The Devil Inside was the #1 movie at the Box Office this week. The Darkest Hour stays in the top 10 for its third week as Twilight and Real Steel continue their downward sales trend.

It was a big week at the DVD Top 30 chart. Final Destination 5 debuted at #8 and Apollo 18 debuts at #12. Straw Dogs debuted last week at #7 but I missed it. Season five of Dexter and season three of True Blood re-emerge on the chart. Finally, Transformers/Moon falls off.
