The end of the world as we know it is apparently big business these days. The Denzel Washington apocalyptic tale "The Book of Eli" captured the top slot in Blu-ray releases in its first week in circulation, moving former frontrunner "Alice in Wonderland" down to third. Finishing in the runner-up post was another former frontrunner, "Avatar."
Another apocalyptic-themed film, "2012," still remains on the most recent bestsellers list, in fifth, after its Blu-ray release several weeks ago. The John Travolta international thriller "From Paris with Love" placed sixth.
