DVD/Blu-Ray Sales: 'Takers' takes over top spot, 'The Social Network' stays strong

Crime thriller Takers, which earned a surprisingly solid $57.7M in theaters, led both the DVD Sales Chart and the Blu-Ray Sales chart this week, with combined-format sales of about 964,000 units. Last week's victor, The Social Network, also remained strong, shifting another 719,000 copies for strong two-week sales of 2.6M. I don't have time for analysis, but check out this week's DVD Sales Chart (from The-Numbers), as well as TBOJ's exclusive Blu-Ray Sales Chart below:
