Synopsis

Suddenly touched by the crime overrunning the streets of Boston, Irish twin brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus embark on a journey to cleanse their city of evil with their own brand of vigilante justice straight from the Emerald Isle, one fueled by Catholic ritual and spiritual belief. As the bodies of notorious gangsters hit the floor, one after the other, the brothers become controversial folk heroes in their adoptive community. But eccentric FBI agent, Paul Smecker, is closing in on them fast as the boys deliver vengeance from what many believe is the great and terrible right hand of God. Are they sinners, or are they Saints? You decide.

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.

Full financial estimates for this film, including domestic and international box office, video sales, video rentals, TV and ancillary revenue are available through our research services. For more information, please contact us at research@the-numbers.com.

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for June 21st, 2011

June 21st, 2011

It's another busy week for DVD / Blu-ray with four first-run releases coming out this week. Five if you include Cedar Rapids, which was had surprisingly brisk ticket sales in limited release. Cedar Rapids is also the only one of the big releases that I would consider for Pick of the Week honors. Despite the number of wide releases on this week's list, I'm going with an unorthodox choice for Pick of the Week, "Weird Al" Yankovic - Alpocalypse, but Louie: Season One on Blu-ray earns an honorable mention.

Featured Blu-ray review - Boondock Saints: Truth and Justice Edition

June 16th, 2011

Boondock Saints is a movie with a reputation that is hard to ignore. In fact, the behind-the-scenes, Overnight, earned better reviews than Boondock Saints earned. Boondock Saints also bombed hard at the box office. However, it developed a huge following on the home market with some reports giving its total home market revenue at $50 million. It has done so well that the studio recently gave the film its second Blu-ray release. But is it worth the upgrade? Will newcomers to the film want to grab the new version? More...

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for June 14th, 2011

June 13th, 2011

It's actually a rather busy week for DVD / Blu-ray releases, at least for the summertime, with four first run releases coming out. Granted, those four films averaged just 21% positive reviews, so it is certainly a matter of quantity over quality. Unfortunately, the quantity of first run releases appears to have scared away quality alternatives and there are not a lot of top notch releases. There are a few that are with picking up, some of which are for limited audiences, but as far as Pick of the Week contenders go, there are none. However, True Blood: Season Three arrived late, and I'm giving the Pick of the Week honor to the Blu-ray. More...

Contest: Lighting the Way

June 10th, 2011

While there are two saturation level releases opening next weekend, it would be a shock if Green Lantern didn't come out on top and as such, it is the target film in this week's box office prediction contest. In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for Green Lantern. Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), regardless if they go over or not, will win a copy of The Boondock Saints: Truth and Justice Edition on Blu-ray. Entries must be received by 10 a.m., Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay! More...

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.
