Starring Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Peter Fonda and Ben Foster, the gritty remake debuted at No. 1 on the DVD and high-definition charts, said Lionsgate, the independent film studio that released the film.

"With its star power and critical acclaim, '3:10 to Yuma' is just the type of release we envisioned as being a success in our 'fifth quarter,' leading up to the awards season," Ron Schwartz, Lionsgate Home Entertainment general manager and executive vice president, said in a statement.

"Holding major releases like 'War,' '3:10 to Yuma,' 'Good Luck Chuck,' and 'Saw IV' until after the holidays has given us a strong reputation with retailers and consumers for delivering a diverse, high-profile slate of titles for buyers to purchase with their holiday gift cards."
