A Night To Remember 

"Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" debuts at #1 with sales of nearly 2 million units. That's lower than the sales of the first movie which opened with 5.2 million in April 2007. "Night 2" is Ben Stiller's 7th number one DVD title. His first DVD chart topper was "There's Something About Mary" in August 1999. 

"Terminator: Salvation" enters at #2 with 1.6 million. The first two "Terminator" movies went to number one in 1997. "T-2" was one of the ten biggest DVDs of 1997 (the format's first year). "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" opened at #1 in November 2003 with first week sales of 2.3 million. 

"Planet Earth" re-enters the VS Top 20 chart. The BBC documentary is by far the biggest selling documentary in the history of the DVD format with total sales of more than 5 million. It peaked "only" at #5 in June 2007 (after 2 months on the charts) but it continued to sell for months and months. "Planet" has spent a total of 18 weeks in the top twenty which is an impressive feat for the documentary series.
