For the week that ended on May 18th, Warner Home Entertainment's
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part remained at number one on the Blu-ray-only media chart. This sequel to the hit animated comedy
The LEGO Movie was a modest success following its North American release last February. The film garnered okay critical comments (it has a
65% rating on Metacritic), and it then went on to
gross $105 million domestically on top of its estimated $99-million production budget. This week,
The Second Part had a fine Blu-ray market share of 60%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking was Lionsgate's
Cold Pursuit. The latest actioner from star Liam Neeson,
Cold Pursuit struggled to connect with audiences and critics. The film netted so-so critical comments (it has a
57% rating on Metacritic) and didn't do much better at the box-office,
grossing $32 million domestically on top of its estimated $60-million production budget.
Cold Pursuit had a Blu-ray market share of 47% and sold 94% as many Blu-rays as
The LEGO Movie 2. On the overall package-media chart, the superhero adventure came in first place - there, the
LEGO Movie follow-up sold 84% as many total units as
Cold Pursuit.
Finally, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
Fighting with My Family rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. Director Stephen Merchant's comedically-flavored biopic about the rise of WWE wrestler Paige,
Fighting with My Family proved a quiet success for its studio. The film netted solid critical notices (it has a
68% rating on Metacritic), and it went on to
gross almost $23 million domestically on top of its estimated $11-million production budget. On the Blu-ray-only list,
Fighting with My Family had an HD market share of 59% and sold 41% as many Blu-rays as
The LEGO Movie 2. Regarding the overall package-media list, the film sold 35% as many total units as
