"Narnia" video roars to No. 1 on DVD sales chart.

That's Thomas K. Arnold's Entertainment News report for Reuters featured today at Entertainment Weekly's EW.com website.

Here's an excerpt:
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" easily topped the national DVD sales chart for the week ending April 9, while the previous week's top seller, "King Kong," notched a second round atop the rental chart.
"Brokeback Mountain" finished a distant second…"Brokeback" distributor Universal said the gay cowboy romance sold 1.4 million DVDs its first day in stores, while first-day sales for Disney's "Narnia" were pegged at 4 million units.

Hollyweird could split hair all year long about niche movies and audience size not necessarily being a good gauge of the success of a movie. And that if a low budget movie makes money, no matter how small by today's going rate, it's a good movie.

I wonder if Hollyweird denizens could spell C-L-U-E-L-E-S-S?
