For the week that ended on May 4th, FUNimation Entertainment's
Dragon Ball Super: Broly remained at number one on the Blu-ray-only chart. The twentieth feature film in the
Dragon Ball Z series,
Broly was a modest success following its North American release last January. While the film garnered only okay critical comments (it has a
59% rating on Metacritic), it then went on to
gross $30 million domestically on top of its estimated $8.5-million production budget (and it made an additional $80 million overseas). This week,
Broly had a strong Blu-ray market share of 70%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking was Warner Home Entertainment's
Aquaman. 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 netted 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.
Aquaman had a Blu-ray market share of 57% and sold 91% as many Blu-rays as
Dragon Ball Super. On the overall package-media chart, the superhero adventure was the top seller, knocking
Broly down to fourth place.
Finally, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
Glass rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only sales list. This controversial finale to director M. Night Shyamalan's
Eastrail 177 Trilogy proved yet another financial success for its writer/director/producer. Yes, the film netted often poisonous critical notices (it has a
42% rating on Metacritic), but it still went on to
gross over $246 million worldwide on top of its estimated $20-million production budget. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Glass had an HD market share of 52% and sold 83% as many Blu-rays as
Broly. Regarding the overall package-media list, the film came in second place where it sold almost the same amount of total units as
Aquaman.
