For the week that ended on December 14th, New Line and Warner Home Entertainment's
It: Chapter Two debuted at Number One on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. This follow-up to
the hit Stephen King adaptation was a massive commercial hit when it premiered last September. While the film only scored average ratings (it has a
58% approval rating on Metacritic), it earned
$472 million worldwide on top of its estimated $79-million production budget. This week,
It had a solid HD market share of 63%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Director Quentin Tarantino's nostalgic trip through the Hollywood of his youth scored bug with both critics and audiences following its release last August. The film netted rapturous critical notices (note its
Metacritic score of 83%, for example), and it made over
$372 million worldwide on top of its estimated $96 million production budget.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had a very good Blu-ray market share of 72% and sold 86% as many Blu-rays and 74% as many total units as
It: Chapter Two.
Finally, HBO Home Entertainment's season-set of
Game of Thrones' eighth season rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. This final season of the iconic
fantasy melodrama concluded in controversial fashion this year, with most episodes generating some high level of viewer and/or critical opprobrium.
Game of Thrones had an HD market share of 53% and sold 30% as many Blu-rays and 35% total units as
It: Chapter Two.
