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.

The Tax Collector

Weekend Wrap-Up: Tax Collector Collects What’s Due

August 12th, 2020

The Tax Collector

For the third weekend in a row, a new film topped the weekend box office chart. This time it was The Tax Collector, as the action film opened in first place with $310,000 in 129 theaters. The film didn’t win over many critics, but it has a grindhouse feel that helped it thrive in drive-ins. The overall market for films reporting official results was close to $750,000, making this technically the best weekend since March 13. It’s a low bar to clear, but we’ll take what we can get at the moment. More...

Limited and Virtual Releases: I Used to Go Here Leads the Pack

August 6th, 2020

I Used to Go Here

It is a busier week than usual for theatrical releases, with twelve of them in total. Unfortunately, most of them are earning reviews that are merely good, or worse. Much worse in some cases. The few films that have the reviews strong enough to thrive are the wrong genre for the pandemic era. Hopefully films like I Used to Go Here will do well enough in VOD, but don’t expect much in theaters. More...

VOD Releases: Humming a Cheerful Tune

August 5th, 2020

Lake Michigan Monster

It is a very busy week for VOD releases, but sadly this is mostly a case of quantity over quality with most of them not earning much buzz. There are three films that stand out, though—Lake Michigan Monster, House of Hummingbird, and Ride Your Wave—and a couple of others that will appeal to adult animation fans and family audiences.
