Rentrak (RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and TV everywhere, today announced the top ten Movies on Demand (MOD) titles based on consumer transaction rate. Movies on Demand are transactional (pay-per-purchase) films available through cable and telco providers.

Kevin Hart portrayed Ben Barber in the original comedy, a security guard who wants to marry his girlfriend Angela (Tika Sumpter). He has to contend with Angela's overprotective brother James (Ice Cube), an Atlanta cop who gives Ben a chance to prove he's worthy of marrying his sister by taking him on a ride along. It isn't known if co-stars John Leguizamo, Bruce McGill, Bryan Callen and Laurence Fishburne will be returning for the sequel at this time.

According to the company's OnDemand Essentials service, the top ten most-viewed Movies on Demand titles, per data collected April 14-20, 2014 are below.
