For the week that ended on July 11th, DreamWorks and Universal Studios Home Media Entertainment's
Trolls World Tour debuted at Number One on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales charts. This sequel to the
hit 2016 animated comedy became unexpectedly controversial during its release last April. The film, which netted mediocre reviews (it has a
50% approval rating on Metacritic), became Universal Studios' biggest high-profile foray into the world of day-and-date VOD premieres, a move that made the film the "most successful day-one rental" (to date, VOD sales have accounted for a
$95-million gross on top of Trolls's estimated $90-110-million production budget) and drew the ire of AMC Theaters, which said they would stop theatrically screening Universal releases. This week,
Trolls World Tour had a solid HD market share of 61%.
Next up on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales ranking was also
Trolls-centric: Universal's
Trolls Two-Movie Collection. This set had a Blu-ray market share of 42% and sold 6% as many Blu-rays as
Trolls World Tour. Regarding the overall package-media list, the double-feature package sold 9% as many total units as the sequel-only version.
Finally, Paramount Home Media Distribution's
Sonic the Hedgehog rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales lists. A live-action adaptation of the popular video game,
Sonic struggled with critics but entertained audiences during its release last February. The film scored mediocre reviews (it has a
47% approval rating on Metacritic), but it grossed
$306 million at the worldwide box office on top of its estimated $81-95-million production budget.
Sonic had a Blu-ray market share of 48% and sold 5% as many Blu-rays and 7% as many total units as the
Trolls sequel.
