‘Friends With Kids’ On Top 10 VOD Films List

The week’s top watched video-on-demand (VOD) films were announced Monday by Rentrak, based on data collected over the period July 9-15, with American Reunion seizing the No. 1 from 21 Jump Street.

The comedy sequel starring Seann William Scott and Alyson Hannigan is part of the successful American Pie franchise, with friends reuniting for their high school reunion. It’s collected $233.5 million with 75% from the international market.

In addition to Reunion, another new film to the top ten VOD chart, released July 13, is Friends with Kids with Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig and Megan Fox.
