Blu-ray Sales, February 16-22: Midway Battles Other Home Media Titles

Posted February 28, 2020 02:05 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on February 22nd, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Midway debuted at the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. Director Roland Emmerich's WWII epic about the titular battle struggled to connect with critics and audiences. The film scored lower-than-average critical responses (it has a 47% approval rating on Metacritic), and it has grossed almost $125 million worldwide on top of its estimated $100-million production budget. This week, Midway had a solid HD market share of 62%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. A fictionalized docudrama centering around the legendary Fred Rogers, the film was a sleeper hit for Sony following its November premiere. It netted very strong critical notices (it has an 80% approval rating on Metacritic) and earned $61.6 million domestically on top of its estimated $25-million production budget. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood had a Blu-ray market share of 54% and sold 44% as many Blu-rays and 50% as many total units as Midway.

Finally, Twentieth Century Studios' Ford v Ferrari rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. This racing docudrama - from Walk the Line director James Mangold - proved to be one of 2019's sleeper hits. The film scored terrific critical responses (it has an 81% approval rating on Metacritic), and it has grossed $225 million worldwide on top of its estimated $97.6-million production budget. Ford v Ferrari had a good HD market share of 63% and sold 33% as many Blu-rays and total units as Midway.
