For the week that ended on January 1st, Warner Home Entertainment's
Suicide Squad took back the top spot on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking. The most recent entry in DC's live-action cinematic universe,
Suicide Squad was a controversial success for the studio during its summer theatrical release. The film

Metacritic score is 40%). This week,
Suicide Squad had a Blu-ray market share of 57%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales list was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
The Magnificent Seven. A remake of
the 1960 John Sturges classic,
The Magnificent Seven was a modest success for the studio during its fall theatrical release. The film
grossed more than $160 million globally on top of its estimated $90-million production budget, and it scored a
Metacritic score of 54%. On the Blu-ray-only list,
The Magnificent Seven sold 93% as many discs as
Suicide Squad and had a Blu-ray market share of 47%. And regarding the overall package-media chart,
Seven came in first place, beating the DC actioner, which sold 89% as many copies as director Antoine Fuqua's star-studded Western.
Finally, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
The Secret Life of Pets rounded out the top-three titles on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media rankings. This animated comedy was a big success for the studio during its summer theatrical release. The film
grossed more than $875 million globally on top of its estimated $75-million production budget, and it also mustered a decent critical reception (its
Metacritic score is 61%).
