Blu-ray Sales, November 19-25: Wonder Woman Beats Spider-Man

Posted December 3, 2017 11:52 AM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on November 25th, Warner Home Entertainment's Wonder Woman rose to the top of the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. 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. This week, Wonder Woman had a strong Blu-ray market share of 72%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-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 robust HD market share of 72% and sold 92% as many Blu-rays and total units as Wonder Woman.

Finally, Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment's Cars 3 filled out the top-three spots on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. 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. Cars 3 had a very strong HD market share of 78% and sold 83% as many Blu-rays as Wonder Woman. On the overall package-media rankings, the film sold 76% as many total units as the DC superhero installment.
