Blu-ray Sales, March 8-14: Frozen II Remains at Number One

Posted March 22, 2020 09:04 AM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on March 14th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Frozen II held the top spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media charts. The sequel to the smash 2013 animated musical, Frozen II also proved massively lucrative for Disney. The film scored decent critical responses (it has a 64% approval rating on Metacritic) but grossed almost $1.5 billion worldwide on top of its estimated $150-million production budget. This week, Frozen II had an HD market share of 57%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales rankings was 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment's Spies in Disguise. This high-concept animated adventure - essentially, it asks the age-old question, "What if James Bond turned into a pigeon?" - underperformed for its distributor last December. It garnered mediocre critical notices (it has a 54% approval rating on Metacritic) and earned almost $67 million domestically on top of its estimated $100-million production budget. Spies in Disguise had a solid Blu-ray market share of 65% and sold 51% as many Blu-rays and 45% as many total units as Frozen II.

Finally, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Knives Out rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. A spirited riff on Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries, this Rian Johnson film was a sleeper hit following its Thanksgiving premiere. It netted very strong critical notices (it has an 82% approval rating on Metacritic) and earned $308 million worldwide on top of its estimated $40-million production budget. Knives Out had an HD market share of 59% and sold 25% as many Blu-rays and 24% as many total units as the Frozen sequel.
