For the week that ended on November 16th, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's
Hobbs & Shaw remained at number one on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. A spinoff of the hit
Fast & Furious franchise starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham's brawling buddy pair,
Hobbs & Shaw was a fairly solid hit during the Summer 2019 season. Even though the film scored mediocre critical notices (it has a
60% rating on Metacritic), it grossed
almost $759 million worldwide on top of its estimated $200-million production budget. This week,
Hobbs & Shaw had an HD market share of 53%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Walt Disney Home Entertainment's 2019 version of
The Lion King. The latest live-action opportunity for Disney to remake its animated back catalog,
The Lion King was one of 2019's biggest success stories. Although the film scored mediocre critical notices (it has a
55% rating on Metacritic), it ended up grossing
over $1.6 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $250-260-million production budget.
The Lion King had a decent Blu-ray market share of 56% and sold 48% as many Blu-rays and 45% as many total units as
Hobbs & Shaw.
Finally, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
The Angry Birds Movie 2 rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only sales list. The follow-up to the 2016
animated comedy based on the popular video game,
The Angry Birds Movie 2 was a modest success last July. The film didn't garner strong critical notices (it has a
Metacritic score of 60%), but it did earn over
$148 million worldwide on top of its estimated $65-million production budget.
Angry Birds 2 had an HD market share of 61% and sold 42% as many Blu-rays and 37% as many total units as
Hobbs & Shaw.
