For the week that ended on July 14th, Paramount Home Media Distribution's
A Quiet Place debuted at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. Director John Krasinski's intense creature-feature is - so far - the sleeper hit of 2018. It received terrific critical notices (the film has a
82% rating on Metacritic) and has gone on to gross
$332 million worldwide on top of its modest $17-million production budget. This week,
A Quiet Place had a strong Blu-ray market share of 67%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
Blockers. This R-rated teen comedy was a modest success with critics and audiences following its premiere last April. It received fairly good critical notices (the film has a
69% Metacritic rating), and it then grossed
$93 million worldwide on top of its estimated $21-million production budget.
Blockers had an HD market share of 49% and sold 23% as many Blu-rays and 31% as many total units as
A Quiet Place.
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. A 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 an HD market share of 58% and sold 18% as many Blu-rays as
A Quiet Place. Regarding the overall package-media list, the film sold 20% as many total units as John Krasinski's sci-fi thriller.
