For the week that ended on December 1st, Pixar and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
Incredibles 2 returned to the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media 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, the film had a very good Blu-ray market share of 63%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's
Deadpool 2. 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.
Deadpool 2 had a Blu-ray market share of 59% and sold 43% as many Blu-rays and 47% as many total units as
Incredibles 2.
Finally, Marvel and Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
Avengers: Infinity War rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only sales list. The third entry in the joint
The Avengers series - and the most narratively consequential MCU feature of 2018 -
Infinity War has proven to be one of the year's biggest successes. After receiving decent critical notices (a
68% score on Metacritic), the film then went on to
gross over $2 billion worldwide on top of its massive estimated production budget (somewhere in the realm of $315-to-$400 million). On the Blu-ray-only list,
Infinity War had a terrific HD market share of 71% and sold 39% as many Blu-rays as
Incredibles 2. Regarding the overall package-media chart, the film came in eighth place (
The Meg took the number-three position) and sold 35% as many total units as the
Incredibles sequel.
