‘Overboard’ Remake Tops Redbox Kiosk, On Demand Charts

Lionsgate’s Overboard, a remake of the 1987 MGM romantic comedy, debuted at No. 1 on both Redbox charts the week ended Aug. 6.

The film, which earned just over $50 million in U.S. theaters, took over the top spot on both Redbox’s kiosk rental chart, which tracks DVD and Blu-ray Disc rentals, and the Redbox On Demand chart, which tracks digital purchases (EST) and rentals (TVOD).

Overboard stars Eugenio Derbez, Anna Faris, Eva Longoria, John Hannah, and Swoosie Kurtz. The plot is the same as the original, but the roles are reversed: in the 2018 remake, a struggling single mom convinces a rich player with amnesia that they are married.

Rampage, the science-fiction monster movie based on the video game series of the same name, held onto the No. 2 spot on both charts. The Warner Bros. release stars Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Malin Åkerman, Jake Lacy, Joe Manganiello, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Ready Player One, the latest sci-fi film from Steven Spielberg, took the No. 3 spot on both Redbox charts after bowing at No. 1 the prior week.

Still holding strong is Amy Schumer’s I Feel Pretty, from Universal Pictures, which remains at No. 4 on both the kiosk disc rental chart and the transactional video chart.

Rounding out the top five on the kiosk chart was 20th Century Fox’s Super Troopers 2, which had debuted the prior week at No. 3.

On the Redbox On Demand digital chart, the No. 5 spot went to Universal Pictures’ Blockers.

On the kiosk chart, two other new releases bowed in the top 10. Universal Pictures’ Tully, starring Charlize Theron as a mother of three who strikes up a friendship with her nanny (Mackenzie Davis), debuted at No. 9. Lionsgate’s Dark Crimes, with Jim Carrey as a detective who detects similarities between a cold case murder and a popular novel, debuted at No. 10.

Also new on the digital chart is The Miracle Season, from 20h Century Fox, debuting at No. 10. The movie I based on the true story of the Iowa City West High School volleyball team after the sudden death of the team’s leader.

‘Rampage’, ‘I Feel Pretty’ Take Two Top Spots on Redbox Chart

Two new releases took the two top spots on both Redbox charts the week ended July 23.

Rampage, the sci-fi film starring Dwayne Johnson and based on the classic 1980s video game of the same name, rode its nearly $100 million North American box office gross to a No. 1 debut on both Redbox’s kiosk rental chart, which tracks DVD and Blu-ray Disc rentals, and the Redbox On Demand chart, which tracks digital purchases and rentals.

Universal Pictures’ I Feel Pretty, the Amy Schumer comedy that earned just under $50 million in U.S. theaters, debuted at No. 2, also on both charts.

Paramount’s A Quiet Place, the surprise horror hit about a family stalked by monsters that hunt by sound, slipped to No. 3 on both charts.

A third new release, Universal’s Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare, debuted at No. 5 on the kiosk disc rental chart and No. 6 on the transactional VOD chart. The Lucy Hale-starring supernatural horror film earned just over $40 million at the domestic box office.

And a fourth newcomer, Lionsgate’s Traffik, bowed at No. 6 on the kiosk chart and No. 8 on the digital chart.

‘Blockers’ Unimpeded in Path to Top of Home Video Charts

Universal Pictures’ Blockers easily debuted atop the national sales and rental charts the week ended July 7.
