Ok, so working at Blockbuster, I've been dealing with handing out 9 rentals to all the customers. It's been doing surprisingly well. Infact, I was once almost attacked by a woman who wanted the movie so bad when we didn't have any in stock! XD Also, I had another woman offer me 300 dollars if I gave her a copy of 9 (though we didn't have any in stock at the time). AND recently there was this cute little 7 year old and her father, I had overheard their conversation while they were browsing the DVDs, which went something like this:
Kid: Daddy daddy! I want to see 9!!
Dad: I don't know... *he's looking at the case*
Kid: PLEEEASE!!! I wanna see 9 save the universe!! 8DDD
Dad: Sorry, it's PG13, we can't get it.
Kid: NOOOO! I WANNA SEE 9 SAVE THE UNIVERSE!!!
XDD Ah, this reminds me why I love my work.
Anyways, I've checked the database, and here are the results for top-sold rentals:
Top Selling Rental Titles for the Week of 12/29 (These are all titles released during the same week 9 was released, and which ones sold the most)
1. 9
2. Perfect Getaway
3. Jennifer's Body
4. Paranormal Activity
5. Marine 2
6. Diagnosis Death
Top Selling Rental Titles Overall: Last updated 1-3-10
1. District 9
2. Hangover
3. 9
4. All About Steve
5. Public Enemies
6. Night at the Museum 2
7. Jennifer's Body
8. Inglourious Basterds
9. Four Christmases
10. Perfect Getaway
^
Now consider that second list: District 9 and Hangover were actually released 1-2 weeks BEFORE 9, so it is only natural that they have been rented more times than 9. All I gotta say is HOLY COW, 9 IS A SUCCESS.

BAD NEWS: Because 9 placed 11th place this past week, it has moved down from 3rd to 4th place in the overall category (which isn't too bad, considering that's still the top 5...)
GOOD NEWS: So far for the coming week, 9 is actually selling MORE copies than what it did for the week of 1/4-1/10, so hopefully next week it will either keep 4th place, or move up. We'll have to wait and see...
Kid: Daddy daddy! I want to see 9!!
