For the week that ended on April 14th, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's
The Greatest Showman debuted at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. This musical biopic about the life and times of P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman),
The Greatest Showman proved a sleeper hit with audiences last December. The film garnered mediocre critical notices (a
48% Metacritic rating), but viewers still supported the picture, helping it net a
worldwide gross of $424 million on top of its estimated $84-million production budget. This week,
The Greatest Showman had a very good Blu-ray market share of 66%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. The latest - and most controversial - installment in the iconic
Star Wars franchise,
The Last Jedi was a massive hit with critics and audiences. The film garnered great critical notices (an
85% Metacritic rating), and viewers supported the picture to the tune of a
$1.3-billion gross (worldwide) on top of its estimated $200-million production budget.

The Greatest Showman.
Finally, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle filled out the top-three spots on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. A sequel to the
1995 family favorite, this spirited action-comedy proved a major hit with audiences. While the film only scored okay critical notices (a
58% Metacritic rating), viewers adored the picture, which has gone on to
gross over $943 million worldwide on top of its rumored $90-million production budget.
