Blu-ray Sales, June 16-22: Captain Marvel Saves the Day on Home Media

Posted June 28, 2019 02:45 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on June 22nd, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Marvel's Captain Marvel remained at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. The MCU's first female-centric superhero story, Captain Marvel proved a sizable hit following its North American release last March. The film garnered very decent critical comments (it has a 64% rating on Metacritic), and it then went on to gross over $1.1 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $152-million production budget. This week, Captain Marvel had a strong Blu-ray market share of 70%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Universal Studios Home Entertainment's Us. Director Jordan Peele's follow-up to his Academy Award-winning hit Get Out has already become one of 2019's biggest success stories. Us netted very strong critical comments (it has an 81% rating on Metacritic), and it grossed over $175 million domestically on top of its modest $20-million production budget. The film had a solid Blu-ray market share of 62% and sold 32% as many Blu-rays as Captain Marvel. On the overall package-media chart, the surrealist thriller sold 37% as many total units as the Marvel adventure.

Finally, Paramount Media Home Distribution's Wonder Park rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. This animated comedy couldn't overcome a sea of production-and-post-production controversies plaguing its theatrical release this year. The film grossed $45 million domestically on top of its estimated $80-to-$100-million production budget, and it accrued less-than-optimal critical notices (it has a 45% rating on Metacritic). Wonder Park had a Blu-ray market share of 56% and sold 21% as many Blu-rays and 26% as many total units as Captain Marvel.
