That’s not a lot, but it’s better than Searchlight’s theater-only flop “The Personal History of David Copperfield.” Based on those two performances, UA made the right move: Searchlight devoted marketing spend to a disappointheatrical release that now must wait until November before it can play VOD.

“Bill & Ted” was first on all three possible charts (Spectrum’s full-week list ended August 27, the day before its availability). “Fatima” (Picturehouse), the other new PVOD entry, appeared on two. FandangoNow (which ranks by revenue and boosts higher-price titles, not transactions) shows it at #3, while AppleTV has it as #9 among all rentals. Leading on rentals charts suggests the depth of its appeal.

Post-weekend, “42” is #2, “Black Panther” (which was available on ABC Saturday, commercial free) is #4, and “Marshall” is #6. Alison Cohen Rosa / Universal Pictures Price reductions boosted “The King of Staten Island,” now at $5.99 after its mid-June release. It stands as #2 at FandangoNow and #3 at AppleTV. Two recent action releases showed up on all four VOD charts. “The Tax Collector” was #1 at Spectrum and “The Silencing” was as high #2 at Google Play. Among specialized releases, the second week of “Tesla” held spots on two charts, though down from its initial response. Netflix continues to confound. “The Frozen Ground,” a 2013 Lionsgate release starring Nicolas Cage, Vanessa Hudgens, and John Cusack, ranks at #1 on its movie chart. In the U.S., this was a VOD play; perhaps that the lack of familiarity is an asset? Did subscribers see it listed, see the cast, and think it was a new title?
