For the week that ended on November 6th,
Star Trek Beyond took the number-one spots on both the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media rankings. The latest of the
Bad Robot-produced Star Trek reboots,
Star Trek Beyond had a tough time connecting with audiences this summer. While it engendered fairly respectable critical notices (as evinced by its
68% Metacritic score), this sci-fi blockbuster only
grossed just under $159 million domestically on top of its estimated $185-million production budget. This week,
Star Trek Beyond had a strong Blu-ray market share of 74%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists was Universal Studios Home Enterainment's
Bad Moms. This raunchy comedy was one of Summer 2016's sleeper hits, scoring an average
Metacritic ranking of 60% but then going on to
gross $113 million domestically on top of its modest $20-million production budget. In terms of the Blu-ray-only list, the film had a Blu-ray market share of 47% and sold 25% as many Blu-rays as
Star Trek Beyond. On the overall package-media chart,
Bad Moms sold 38% as many total units as the
Star Trek sequel.
Finally, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's
Independence Day: Resurgence rounded out the top-three titles on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media rankings. The long-awaited sequel to
the 1996 smash hit,
Resurgence nonetheless struggled with critics and audiences. This sci-fi adventure only
grossed $103 million domestically on top of its estimated $165-million production budget, and its critical reception was even less impressive, given its
Metacritic score of 32%. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Independence Day: Resurgence sold 10% as many discs as
Star Trek Beyond and had a Blu-ray market share of 54%. And regarding the overall package-media chart,
Resurgence sold 13% as many discs as the
Star Trek feature.
