But you failed to include the * parts. The charts indicates that during this week GotG sold 10 times as many units as Covenant. Well is that good?

red0guy@gmail.com I think it's ok. I mean GotG was a huge hit at the box office and it's normal that it crushed all the other movies this week.

Basically, A:C is doing good job at DVD/Blu-Ray sales. It's also #8 on iTunes - https://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/movies/

#11 and #54 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-movies-TV-DVD-Blu-ray/zgbs/movies-tv/ref=pd_dp_ts_movies-tv_1#1

I hate this percentage values as they don't show the weekly evolution of a movie. Are these values global or only US?

I am not sure what 69% Blu ray share for title means.

Don't forget though that GotG and Wonder Woman are both all-ages, feel-good Super-hero film with huge budgets and  Disney/Marvel/DC backing. 

I know its business but it really doesn't seem fair to compare it against a +15 sci-fi/horror film about aliens. 

The real problem is that Covenant did significantly worse than Prometheus at the box office, even with the Alien Prefix stapled to it.

All we can hope for is that Home Entertainment sales show a huge surge, showing the changing trends in viewer platforms away from cinema

I spent $6 to stream A:C to my TV through my cable company.  I wish ticket prices were $6.

The problem with today is that people can illegally stream movies off the internet without really trying at all.  It's ridiculous how easy it is to stream movies!  Plus now-a-days, people can stream movies to their TV so they don't have to watch a movie on a computer screen and instead can watch it on a big screen with surround sound.
