Batman v Superman to score the Official Video Chart Number 1

A super chart position for these two.

The Official Video Chart is certainly not like Kryptonite for Superman.

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot has shifted 160,000 DVDs and Blu-Rays at the halfway point on today's Official Video Chart Update, a figure that sees the superhero epic outsell the rest of the Top 20 combined.

The film's predecessor Man of Steel also reached Number 1, sitting at the top for one week after sales of 330,000 back in 2013. It looks the all-star sequel could be on course to match that figure.

Last week's Number 1 Zootropolis continues to perform well at 2, with a boxset of Superman vs Batman and Man of Steel sitting pretty at 3. Last week's Number 2 London Has Fallen has dropped two spots to Number 4, while My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a new entry at 5.

New entries and high climbers 

Outside of the Top 5, there are a further four new entries, all that look certain to keep their Top 40 placing by Sunday. Hardcore Henry is the first of those at Number 9, closely followed by The Complete Second Season of Gotham, which starts out at 11.

The Blacklist - Complete Third Season slots in at 18, Sniper - Special Ops is brand new at 19, and The Hateful Eight rises seven spots to 20. Finally, as school summer holidays are in full swing, some children's titles rise: Minions vaults from 52 to 31 and Paw Patrol: Marshall & Chase rises from 49 to 36.
