Even after his death, Michael Jackson cannot be beat! Michael Jackson's This Is It has debuted at the top of the DVD sales charts. Not even some roller-derby girls, Jigsaw or lifelike robots could stop Michael Jackson's swan song atop the DVD charts. According to The Hollywood Reporter

There was plenty of competition on the DVD charts this week, with the Bruce Willis film Surrogates taking second place in sales, but prevented Michael Jackson's This Is It's home video sweep by taking the top spot on the DVD rental chart. Tobin Bell's Saw VI came in third place in DVD sales and sixth on the rental charts while the Ellen Page/Drew Barrymore film Whip It came in fifth place in sales, but took second place on the rental charts.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film featuring The King of Pop in his last days of rehearsal has sold 1.2 million copies, which is a record for a music DVD.

This Is It debuted atop the Blu-ray sales charts as well, with an impressive 21% of the units sold. It came in third to Surrogates and The Invention of Lying on the list of DVD rentals. But that’s probably just because everyone wanted to own a copy rather than rent it!

This Is It was also released in Japan and beat expectations there as well. Sony Pictures mounted a huge publicity campaign in support of the release, including a YouTube video of Filipino prisoners dancing to two Jackson songs from the film that generated more than 3 million hits.
