After three weeks, Happy Feet finally tumbles from the top spot to box office loser Smokin' Aces. Next week, we should see Night at the Museum at the top.

Despite its third-place opening on the rental chart, Eragon manages to top the sales list just above its competitor Blood Diamond. Films that focus on younger audiences tend to do significantly better on the sales chart than the rental as many parents buy them to allow their children to watch repeatedly. Next week, we should see a top-spot finish of Happy Feet.

Borat tumbles from the number one position down to fourth with last week's number two film coming in ahead of it. New films Casino Royale and The Holiday take the top two spots at the box office. The new direct-to-video Barbie: Fairytopia comes in a solid, but disappointing sixth.

Following its successful debut on the top of the rental chart, Borat topped the sales chart just ahead of the reissue of Peter Pan. South Park's ninth season opened at 8 and the rest of the chart saw standard downard movement. The Secret broke that trend and edged up one more position to sixth showing amazing staying power.

The Departed returned to the top of the sales chart to spend its second week at the top, making it the first such film this year to do so. Next week, however, Borat should easily knock the Scorsese flick from the number one spot.

Disney direct-to-video sequel Cinderella III beat out Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers for the top spot on this week's sales chart. It's premiere highlights two things. The first is that Eastwood's Flags is virtually a financial disaster, having failed first at the box office and now on the sales chart. The second is that the sales chart is indelibly weak during the early months of each year otherwise a third-rate animated sequel can top the chart.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is no surprise to top the sales chart for this week. It even pulls in the long-off-the-charts prequel The Curse of the Black Pearl into the top 10. More than half the chart is gone replaced by new DVDs Miami Vice, Beerfest, 24 (Season 5) and The Polar Express (returning to the top 10 for the second time this holiday season).

Waist Deep debuts in the fourth position while feline sequel Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties limps in at fifth. The Fox and the Hound, one of Disney's most recent pulled-from-the-vaults release, found limited success debuting below Garfield. A Prairie Home Companion was better received as a rental than as a sales offering as it premiere's at position 9.

The rest of the top 10 is completely new with three re-releases and three television series. The Wild, however, ended up the top dog of the pack, the only kids-friendly film in the top 10. Grey's Anatomy season 2 came in at position 2. Smallville's fifth season came in at position four and The Office: Season Two premiered in 8th. Star Wars and its sequels Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi fell into release order in positions five, six and seven. Lucky Number Slevin, the leader of the rentals chart for two weeks fills out the top 10 debuts at number 3 .

It is officially a dreadful period for movies. Not only does a direct-to-video animated sequel top the sales chart but continuing weak performances on other charts are creating the impression that people aren't enjoying their movies. Brother Bear 2, purportedly one of Disney's last direct-to-videos sequels to be produced topped The Sentinel, Take the Lead and Akeelah & the Bee all against expectations (namely, it hasn't appeared at all on the rental chart).

Final Destination 3 debuted at #2 and fell to position 4. Spider-Man 2 leaps into the 5th spot after lingering last week at #12. Failure to Launch has rebounded from no. 8. Last week's #3, Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes Uncensored fell four positions while She's the Man is beating a similarly hasty retreat from 4 to 8. Pirates mania is slipping as Curse of the Black Pearl falls to #9. Van Helsing rises from #35 all the way to #10. This week's two new entries are The Shaggy Dog at #2 and the unsurprising debut of V for Vendetta at #1.

With its stellar performance in rentals, it's no surprise that Failure to Launch remained on top against the only debut The Matador which failed even more strongly on this chart than on the video chart. Things aren't likely to change when Basic Instinct 2 comes out next week. The big surprises here are the return to the top 10 of two other films. High School Musical seems to be steaming along as it returns to the 10th position but even more unlikely, though expected considering its performance at the box office, the original Pirates of the Caribbean rises from the depths like its storied undead to wreak havoc on the top 10 sales chart.

Syriana may have been the top rental last week, but two films of genres that are immensely more own-able topped it in sales. Eight Below took in the kiddie/parent crowd while HIlls Have Eyes capitalized on the horror fanbase. High School Musical doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon but the rest of the chart is typically fluid.
