    Following up reports from both the UK and Australia, home video sales for Quantum of Solace in the US have now come in.

    According to the Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Craig’s second James Bond film debuted in the #2 spot overall for the week ending 29 March. Summit Entertainment’s megahit Twilight, entering its second week of sales, prevented 007 from taking the top spot.

    However, Quantum of Solace did top both the Nielsen VideoScan Blu-ray Disc chart and Home Media Magazine’s video rental chart for the week. The Blu-ray disc edition of the Bond film accounted for 28% of the title’s total sales.

    Twilight emerged as the winner on the digital download chart. The film came in #1 on on Apple’s iTunes chart, while Bond debuted in second place. MGM reports half the purchases were in HD.
