For the week that ended on October 5th, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Marvel's
Spider-Man: Far from Home took the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. A sequel to both

Avengers: Endgame,
Far from Home was one of 2018's biggest hits. The film netted decent critical notices (a
Metacritic score of 69%, for example) and made over
$1.1 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $160 million production budget. This week,
Spider-Man had a terrific HD market share of 80%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales rankings was Lionsgate Home Entertainment's
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. This third installment in the
John Wick action franchise did well with both critics and audiences last May. The film garnered good critical notices (it has a
73% rating on Metacritic), and it ended up grossing
$171 million domestically on top of its estimated $75-million production budget.

Aladdin rounded out the Blu-ray-only sales rankings. The latest live-action opportunity for Disney to remake its animated back catalog,
