Disney’s 3-D animated summer movie “Planes” appears to have some lift as a home entertainment title, soaring to the top of Rentrak’s DVD and Blu-ray sales chart in its first week in release.

Featuring the voice of comedian Dane Cook, the “Cars” spinoff beat Warner Bros.’ R-rated comedy “We’re the Millers,” which made more money than “Planes” at the box office. The Disney movie generated $90.2 million in domestic ticket sales, while “We’re the Millers,” starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, took in $150 million during its run.

Taking third place on the DVD/Blu-ray chart was another newcomer, “2 Guns,” the action comedy with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as a pair of undercover agents. The trio of new releases knocked last week’s No. 1, “Man of Steel,” down to fourth place.

Also debuting on retail shelves was the boozy sci-fi comedy “The World’s End,” directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It came in at No. 7.

“The Heat,” a buddy cop comedy with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, was the top rental in its sixth week on the market.
