Blu-ray Sales, November 19-24: Deadpool 2 Returns to Number One

Posted December 2, 2018 09:29 AM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on November 24th, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's Deadpool 2 returned to the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. The much-anticipated follow-up to Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds' 2016 smash hit, this raunchy action-comedy proved almost as successful as its predecessor. Deadpool 2 garnered fine critical notices (note its 66% Metacritic score) and grossed over $734 million worldwide on top of its estimated $110-million production budget. This week, the film had a very good Blu-ray market share of 63%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking was Universal Studios Home Entertainment's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This direct sequel to Jurassic World - and the most recent installment in the successful Jurassic Park franchise - this dinosaur adventure was another massive commercial success for its distributor. While the film scored mediocre critical notices (it has a 51% Metacritic score), it went on to gross over $1.3 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $170-million production budget. On the Blu-ray-only list, Fallen Kingdom had a solid HD market share of 67% and sold 87% as many Blu-rays as Deadpool 2. Regarding the overall package-media chart, the film came in fourth place (Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation took the number-two position) and sold 82% as many total units as the Deadpool sequel.

Finally, Pixar and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Incredibles 2 rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. 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. Incredibles 2 had a good Blu-ray market share of 62% and sold 83% as many Blu-rays and 84% as many total units as Deadpool 2.
