For the week that ended on May 12th, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
Fifty Shades Freed premiered at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. The final entry in the
Fifty Shades of Grey series, this erotic thriller overcame toxic critical notices and found decent commercial success. Critics hated the film (
vide its
31% Metacritic rating), but viewers were more supportive, helping it
gross over $368 million worldwide on top of its estimated $55-million production budget. This week,
Fifty Shades Freed had a Blu-ray market share of 59%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
Peter Rabbit. A slapstick-heavy interpretation of the popular children's stories,
Peter Rabbit was a modest success when it premiered last February. The film only scored so-so critical takes (a
51% Metacritic rating), but viewers were more supportive, with audiences helping it to
gross over $114 million domestically on top of its estimated $50-million production budget.
Peter Rabbit had an HD market share of 54% and sold 27% as many Blu-rays and 29% as many overall package-media units as
Fifty Shades Freed.
Finally, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's Fox's
The Greatest Showman filled out the top-three spots on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. 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.
The Greatest Showman had a solid HD market share of 64% and sold 27% as many Blu-rays as
Fifty Shades Freed. Regarding the overall package-media list, the film sold 24% as many total units as the
Fifty Shades sequel.
