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.
