For the week that ended on November 20th, Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment's
Finding Dory premiered at the top of both the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media rankings. The long-awaited sequel to the 2003 animated classic
Finding Nemo was one of Summer 2016's biggest hits. To date, the film has gone on to
gross more than $1 billion globally, and it also mustered a robust critical reception (its
Metacritic score is 77%). This week,
Finding Dory had a strong Blu-ray market share of 70%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists was HBO Home Entertainment's
Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season. This dark fantasy - an adaptation of author George R. R. Martin's acclaimed
A Song of Fire and Ice series - has been a hit for the network since its premiere in 2011, and the sixth season saw its ratings and critical acclaim rise to even higher levels. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Game of Thrones sold 10% as many discs as
Finding Dory and had a Blu-ray market share of 55%. And regarding the overall package-media chart,
Game of Thrones sold 12% as many discs as the Disney/Pixar sequel.
Finally, Paramount Home Media Distribution's
Star Trek Beyond rounded out the top-three titles on 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. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Star Trek Beyond sold 6% as many Blu-rays and total units as
Finding Dory and had a solid Blu-ray market share of 67%.
