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.

Theater Counts: Free Guy edges out Candyman to remain widest release

August 26th, 2021

After dethroning Jungle Cruise two weeks ago, and keeping four wide releases at bay last week, Free Guy once again leads this week’s theater counts. The film has earned just over $64 million domestically and an estimated $117 million worldwide in its first 13 days in release. The theater count does drop from 4,165 last week to 3,940 this week, but is still good enough to fend off Candyman—the latest feature from Universal Pictures—which debuts in 3,569 locations. Candyman is a sequel to the original 1992 horror film of the same name and stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Still near the top of our list is the previously-mentioned Jungle Cruise, which has amassed just north of $94 million in North America, and $175 million worldwide. The adventure film plays in 3,370 locations this week. Of the four wide releases to debut last week, the best earner at the box office was the animated kids feature, PAW Patrol: The Movie.
