PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak
(NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and
TV everywhere, today announced the top weekly cross-platform
entertainment rankings for September 2,
2015.
Paramount's "Terminator: Genisys" earned $23.6 million from 25 international markets,
giving it the top spot on the global chart. After just eight days
in release, the movie also delivered an impressive cumulative total
in China with $82.8 million.
In North American action, Universal's "Straight Outta Compton"
makes it three in a row at the top of the box office chart, with
$13.1 million and $134.0 million to date. In second place, Sony's
PG-rated faith-based drama, "War Room," is a resounding success,
earning a whopping $11.35 million in
just 1,135 theaters, proving that in a sea of R-rated fare, the
movie benefitted from filling a void in the marketplace for a
largely underserved audience.
On this week's Movies on Demand chart, we see a three-peat at
the top of the chart. Buddy comedy "Hot Pursuit," starring
Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, is once again followed by
Lionsgate's Young Adult action-adventure "The Divergent
Series: Insurgent" and Fox's Dreamworks Animation release "Home"
for the second straight week.
On our digital purchases and rentals chart, Warner Bros.' "Mad
Max 4: Fury Road" debuted strong in its first week of release,
easily grabbing the number one spot. Lionsgate's, YA
action-adventure "The Divergent Series: Insurgent," - now in its
fourth week of release continues - to make its mark on the charts,
landing in the number two position. Sony's new release, "Aloha,"
directed by Cameron Crowe and
starring Bradley Cooper and
Rachel McAdams, entered the charts
in fourth place.
Our DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales chart this week sees a flip-flop
of last week's top two movies with Lionsgate's YA action-adventure
"The Divergent Series: Insurgent" moving to second place in its
third week and Fox's Dreamworks Animation family-favorite "Home"
moving back to the top spot in its fourth week on the chart.
This week on the DVD and Blu-ray Disc rentals side of the
ledger, we notice a repeat of last week's one-two punch with
Lionsgate's "The Divergent Series: Insurgent" remaining in the top
spot as Warner Bros.' ever-popular buddy-comedy "Get Hard" holds
strong in the second position.
On our top viewer engagement for broadcast telecasts chart,
Telemundo's "El Señor de los Cielos" remains on top once again this
week and proves its never-ending popularity. Meanwhile, Univision's
"Yo no creo en los hombres" takes the second spot with Telemundo's
"Caso cerrado – Edicion especial" in third and Univison's "Lo
imperdonable" landing in fourth place.
Our top viewer engagement for cable telecasts chart puts TNT's
"Major Crimes" back on top, followed
by ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles"
and VH1's always-popular "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" in fourth
place.
Finally, on our combined social media and digital engagement
chart for viewers of broadcast and cable telecasts, ABC Family's
"Pretty Little Liars" uploaded a photo to Instagram of Lucy Hale to promote the night's episode and the
photo had 259k+ interactions. In the second spot, Comedy Central's
"Key & Peele" uploaded a video clip to Facebook with a link to
last week's episode and the post gained 16k+ interactions. Finally,
NBC's "America's Got Talent" uploaded a video on YouTube this week
of Paul Zerdin and his ventriloquist
dummy performing after Zerdin walked off stage and
it garnered 1.6M+ views.
