Blu-ray Sales, November 5-11: Cars 3 Races Past Super Heroes

Posted November 19, 2017 10:53 AM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on November 11th, Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment's Cars 3 debuted at the top of the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. The third feature in Pixar's animated Cars franchise, Part 3 didn't make much of an impact with either critics or audiences. It earned average critical notices (a Metacritic rating of 59%) and grossed just under $153 million domestically. This week, Cars 3 had a very strong Blu-ray market share of 76%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only media rankings was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's Spider-Man: Homecoming. This newly rebooted Spider-Man adventure proved a reliable critical and commercial success for both Sony and its partner Marvel. The film garnered solid critical notices (a Metacritic rating of 73%) and then went on to gross over $879 million worldwide on top of its estimated $175-million production budget. On the Blu-ray-only list, Homecoming had a strong HD market share of 72% and sold 14% as many Blu-rays as Cars 3. Regarding the overall package-media chart, the film came in third place (behind Sony's The Dark Tower) and sold 15% as many total units as the Pixar offering.

Finally, Warner Home Entertainment's Wonder Woman filled out the top-three spots on the Blu-ray-only sales list. A standalone adventure designed to showcase Gal Gadot's Amazon warrior, Wonder Woman quickly became Warner and DC's most beloved superhero fantasy since the release of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. After its premiere last June, the film scored good critical notices (a Metacritic rating of 76%) and then went on to gross over $820 million worldwide on top of its estimated $149-million production budget. Wonder Woman had a solid HD market share of 74% and sold 13% as many Blu-rays as Cars 3. On the overall package-media rankings, the film came in fifth place and also sold 13% as many total units as the Cars installment.
