For the week that ended on March 30th, Warner Home Entertainment's
Aquaman premiered at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. Director James Wan's superhero adventure proved one of WB and DC's most successful comic-book adaptations following its theatrical release last December.
Aquaman might have garnered only so-so critical comments (it has a
55% rating on Metacritic), but it was a box-office juggernaut,
grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $160-to-$200-million production budget. This week,
Aquaman had a very good Blu-ray market share of 66%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This animated
Spider-Man adventure - which exists outside of the MCU's
Tom Holland-starring iteration - proved an unlikely critical and commercial hit during its theatrical release last December. The film
grossed over $189 million domestically on top of its estimated $90-million production budget, and it netted not only strong critical notices (it has a
87% rating on Metacritic) but also the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Into the Spider-Verse had a very solid Blu-ray market share of 67% and sold 19% as many Blu-rays and total units as
Aquaman.
Finally, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
Mary Poppins Returns rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. The long-awaited follow-up to Disney's
1964 classic Mary Poppins,
Mary Poppins Returns was a modest success following its holiday release. The film scored solid reviews (note its
66% Metacritic score) and
grossed over $171 million domestically on top of its estimated $130-million budget. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Mary Poppins Returns had a solid HD market share of 62% and sold 15% as many Blu-rays as
Aquaman. Regarding the overall package-media list, the film sold 16% as many total units as the DC superhero feature.
