Once Again Number One

Despicable Me 2 has been #1 at world turnstiles, number one in animated features (2013) and now ...

In the week ending Dec. 22, Despicable Me 2 and Fast & Furious 6, both from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, held onto the No. 1 and No. 2 positions at the top of both the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart -- which tracks overall disc sales, DVD and Blu-ray Disc combined -- and Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart. ...
