Our DVD and Blu-ray sales estimates are based on weekly retail surveys, which we use to build a weekly market share estimate for each title we are tracking. The market share is converted into a weekly sales estimate based on industry reports on the overall size of the market, including reports published in Media Play News.

For example, if our weekly retail survey estimates that a particular title sold 1% of all units that week, and the industry reports sales of 1,500,000 units in total, we will estimate 15,000 units were sold of that title. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey.

We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group. Figures will therefore fluctuate each week, and totals for individual titles can go up or down as we update our estimates.

Because sales figures are estimated based on sampling, they will be more accurate for higher-selling titles.

Last weekend’s highly anticipated arrival of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice surpassed most expectations at the box office, tallying up just over $111 million in domestic receipts, while earning north of $36 million from overseas markets.

This weekend, two new wide releases make their way into North American cinemas, with one poised to knock the dynamic duo from their perch once and for all.

While Deadpool & Wolverine has been in the spotlight for the majority of its run, it is time to shine some light, and box office, on this weekend’s most anticipated release, Beetlejuice-Beetlejuice. The long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice debuts in 4,575 theaters this weekend, tying Toy Story 4 as the seventh-widest release of all time. 36 years after the original film, the dark fantasy-comedy brings back Michael Keaton as the titular character while featuring an array of Hollywood talent, including Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara, and Willem Dafoe among others.

It was one and done for Alien: Romulus as the most widely available film in the land, as Deadpool & Wolverine is back in familiar territory, once again taking the top spot as this weekend’s widest film. The film was also back on top of the box office, taking in $18.3 million for a 31-day domestic total of $577.2 million. Despite falling to second place, Romulus still enjoyed a weekend haul of $16.3 million, for a 10-day North American total of $72.8 million.

Theater counts: Deadpool & Wolverine three-peats as widest release

August 8th, 2024

After two weeks of dominance at the box office, Deadpool & Wolverine is still pulling in remarkable numbers during both weekend and weekday showings. The sequel crossed the $900 million mark worldwide on Wednesday and should find itself as the newest member of the $1 billion club at the weekend’s close. The film will have to fend off three newcomers, however, if it wants to remain atop the domestic box office podium. More...

Theater counts: Deadpool & Wolverine slash their way into 4,210 theaters

July 25th, 2024

Twisters blew into theaters last weekend, whisking up a splendid $81 million in its opening frame, and currently enjoys a six-day domestic total of just over $113 million. The disaster film’s reign at the top of the box office, however, will likely be short-lived as two new wide releases make their way into theaters, including the long-awaited arrival of Deadpool & Wolverine.

July 18th, 2024

After six consecutive weeks of box office dominance, the reign of animated features looks to be coming to an end this weekend as Twisters funnels into theaters. It has been impressive run for Inside Out 2, and Despicable Me 4, however, as the two films have combined for a worldwide total of over $1.84 billion, largely due to the massive success of the former.

Thursday Night Previews: Kong is a Little Short in its Debut with $3.7 million

March 10th, 2017

Kong: Skull Island is the only wide release of the week, so it is the only release that had previews last night. The results were… okay. The film earned $3.7 million, which is the third-best preview result for 2017 so far. However, it is a far cry from the $9.5 million Logan earned just last week. Granted, Logan was the latest installment of two franchises, so the Fanboy Effect was in full force, but Logan also earned better reviews and that helped its legs. Kong’s number is slightly better than than $3.6 million Pacific Rim earned during its previews, but it is low enough that I think we should adjust our prediction for the weekend down to about $42 million. We will have a better idea where it will end up tomorrow once we have Friday’s estimates. More...

Weekend Predictions: Logan is set to Skewer the Competition

March 2nd, 2017

The first weekend of March has three wide releases, but the one everyone is talking about is Logan. It should become the biggest hit of the year so far. The other two releases are The Shack, a faith-based film, and Before I Fall, which is essentially Groundhog Day set in high school. Neither film is expected to compete for top spot. In fact, it would be a surprise if both landed in the top five. As far as holdovers are concerned, only Get Out has a shot at $20 million, while only The Lego Batman Movie will earn more than $10 million. This weekend last year, Zootopia led the way with just over $75 million, while the other two new releases earned less than $30 million combined. 2017 will be bigger on top, won’t have as strong new releases overall, but should have about the same depth.
