'12 Rounds' tops video charts in slow week

July 08, 2009 The dog days of summer are upon us, and as studios continue to hold back their big films for fourth-quarter release consumer spending levels are going down and movies that otherwise would have been also-rans are shooting up the charts, simply because there's no high-profile competition to contend with. The top-selling home video release for the week ending July 5 was 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's "12 Rounds," an actioner that was one of the last films from the now-shuttered Fox Atomic division, launched two years ago to produce low-budget theatricals aimed at teens. The film also managed to snag the No. 1 sales spot with estimated unit sales of fewer than 150,000 discs, according to Home Media Magazine's market research department.
