June 22, 2022
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s comic book adaptation Morbius landed at No. 1 on both Redbox’s disc rental chart and the Redbox On Demand chart the week ended June 19.
The film, based on the character from Marvel’s Spider-Man comics, tells the story of a scientist played by Jared Leto who attempts to cure his disease with a special serum created from the blood of bats, and instead gains vampire-like superpowers.
The newly released disc of Universal Pictures’ Ambulance debuted at No. 2 on Redbox’s disc rental chart, which tracks DVD and Blu-ray Disc rentals at Redbox’s thousands of red kiosks. Directed by Michael Bay, the film tells the story of a pair of desperate brothers who steal an ambulance when a heist goes awry.
The No. 3 disc rental, and No. 2 on the Redbox On Demand chart, which tracks digital VOD and sellthrough transactions, was Sony Pictures’ Father Stu. The drama stars Mark Wahlberg as a former boxer who decides to become a priest following a life-altering accident.
Paramount’s The Lost City, slipped to No. 3 on the digital chart.
