Posted July 7, 2016 12:21 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on July 3rd, DreamWorks Home Entertainment's Kung Fu Panda 3 debuted at the top of the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. The third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, Kung Fu Panda 3 was a solid box-office hit when it debuted last January. The film grossed almost $519 million worldwide, and it scored an average Metacritic score of 66%. This week, Kung Fu Panda 3 had a Blu-ray market share of 54%.

Next on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts was Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's Zootopia. This animated adventure - the latest from Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore - was a box-office smash when it debuted last March. Zootopia grossed just over $1 billion worldwide, and it scored a respectable Metacritic score of 78%. In terms of sales percentages, Zootopia sold 43% as many Blu-rays as Kung Fu Panda 3 (and had a Blu-ray market share of 47%) and 49% as many total units.

Finally, Paramount Home Media Distribution's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi rounded out the top three positions on the Blu-ray-only media ranking. A violent, relentlessly-paced rendering of the controversial 2012 Benghazi attacks, director Michael Bay's latest film was a modest earner for the studio last January. 13 Hours grossed over $69 million worldwide on top of its estimated $50-million production budget, and it scored a 48% favorability rating on Metacritic. On the Blu-ray-only list, 13 Hours sold 17% as many discs as Kung Fu Panda 3 and had a Blu-ray market share of 59%. Regarding the overall package-media chart, 13 Hours came in fifth place (behind My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and Deadpool) and sold 15% as many total units as the DreamWorks hit.
