For the week that ended on November 10th, Pixar and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
Incredibles 2 debuted at the top spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales charts. Director Brad Bird's long-awaited follow-up to
his iconic 2004 superhero adventure,
Incredibles 2 was a massive commercial success following its June 2018 release. The film scored terrific critical notices (it has an
80% score on Metacritic), and then it went on to
gross over $1.2 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $200-million production budget. This week,
Incredibles 2 had a great Blu-ray market share of 79%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was another Disney feature: the family dramedy
Christopher Robin. This gentle, live-action reimagining of Disney's
Winnie the Pooh adventures proved a modest hit for the Mouse House this summer. While not a huge critical favorite (it has a
60% score on Metacritic), the film
grossed over $196 million worldwide on top of its estimated $75-million production budget.
Christopher Robin had a very solid Blu-ray market share of 71% and sold 23% as many Blu-rays and 26% as many total units as
Incredibles 2.
Finally, Marvel and Disney Home Entertainment's
Ant-Man and the Wasp rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. After the massively consequential release of Marvel's
Avengers: Infinity War, this second installment in the
Ant-Man superhero series acted as a more modestly scaled palette cleanser. The
Ant-Man follow-up scored decent critical notices (it has a
70% score on Metacritic), and then it went on to
gross over $216 million domestically on top of its estimated $162-to-$195-million production budget.
Ant-Man and the Wasp had a strong HD market share of 71% and sold 6% as many Blu-rays and 7% as many total units as the
Incredibles sequel.
