Blu-ray Sales, June 30-July 6: Dumbo Keeps Flying High

Posted July 12, 2019 03:05 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on July 6th, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's Dumbo remained at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. Director Tim Burton's live-action remake of Disney's iconic 1941 animated feature, Dumbo struggled to connect with critics and audiences last March. The film garnered mediocre critical comments (it has a 51% rating on Metacritic), and it then went on to gross $114 million domestically on top of its estimated $170-million production budget. This week, Dumbo had a solid Blu-ray market share of 61%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Disney and Marvel's Captain Marvel. 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. The film had a decent Blu-ray market share of 66% and sold 73% as many Blu-rays as Dumbo. On the overall package-media chart, Captain Marvel sold 67% as many total units as the Disney remake.

Finally, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Escape Plan: The Extractors rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. The second sequel to the Sylvester Stallone-and-Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring prison thriller Escape Plan, this DTV actioner reunites Stallone with his Reach Me director John Herzfeld. Regarding the Blu-ray-only sales list, the film had an HD market share of 45% and sold 27% as many Blu-rays as Dumbo. On the overall package-media rankings, The Extractors sold 36% as many total units as Dumbo.
