Summer is usually the slowest time of the year on the home market however, this week we have the biggest theatrical hit of the year so far coming out. Figures will therefore fluctuate each week, and totals for individual titles can go up or down as we update our estimates.īecause sales figures are estimated based on sampling, they will be more accurate for higher-selling titles. In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group. We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey. 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.įor 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.
But Hollywood loves a redemption arc, so we'll have to see if his Bourne days are truly behind him.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 head of Universal once publicly said, "Look, here's what I think the goal is: to keep Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass doing Bourne movies till they can't do them anymore." It seems as if Greengrass has escaped from that creative constraint and is thriving outside of it ( News of the World is very good!). I guess if you keep milking IP for long enough, the odds of making good entries eventually go up. (Anyone who saw Jason Bourne knows that their initial instinct to walk away at that point was the correct one.) But then again, look at what happened with Sylvester Stallone and the Rocky franchise: after a significant lull with Rocky V, he resurrected it with Rocky Balboa and then passed it off to a new creative voice with Creed, which gave the franchise a shot in the arm. That certainly sounds like he's tapping out of making more films about Jason Bourne/David Webb, but it's worth noting that both Greengrass and star Matt Damon were adamant that they were done with this franchise after 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum.
