On the VOD charts, action rules. A recent price drop to $5.99 has propelled “John Wick: Chapter 4” (Lionsgate) to continued #1 positions at iTunes and Google Play, while revenue-ranking Vudu kept “Fast X” (Universal) in the top position. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (Universal), price now reduced to $19.99 (including download) placed #2 at all three sites.
New entry “The Machine” (Sony), an action comedy starring Bert Kreischer, here adapting his semi-biographical stand-up routine, is #3 at Vudu at $19.99 while placing on a three charts. It hit home viewing after its fourth weekend in theaters, where it managed only $10 million in gross.
After a recent spate of theatrical releases dominating Netflix’s top ten movie chart, their home-grown titles took six of the slots this week. “Extraction 2” repeats at #1, with their usual eclectic mix taking other slots.
“Fast X” joined “John Wick,” “Super Mario,” and “The Machine” on all three charts, as well as “The Covenant” (MGM) and “Kandahar” (Open Road). The other new entry is “The Black Demon.” The Avenue release at $5.99 stars Josh Lucas fighting off a shark in Baja California. It sits at #8 at Vudu.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” hits PVOD on July 9, but iTunes is already listing pre-sales, where it is #9. If multiple sets were included on our charts, then the four-pack of earlier “Indiana Jones” films, now owned by Disney, not Paramount, would be #5 at iTunes for $19.99.
Apart from the repeat showing for the original “Extraction” (currently #5), other three romantic titles from different countries and a recently Tribeca Festival-premiered documentary debuted as Netflix productions. The medical-themed doc “Take Care of Maya” is #4.
Among romantic titles, highest ranked at #2 is “The Perfect Find,” with Gabrielle Union as a fashion editor falling for her boss’ son. “Make Me Believe” from Turkey is #8 (two grandmothers play matchmaker) while “Through My Window: Across the Sea” is #9. It’s a sequel to the Spanish love story about two long-time neighbors trying to reignite their relationship. Clint Eastwood’s “The Mule” continues as the best theatrical release at #3.
