Scheduled pre-COVID for theatrical release April 17, “Love and Monsters” (original title: “Monster Problems”) is no. 1 at both Apple TV and FandangoNow. Budgeted at $30 million, this adventure comedy led by”Maze Runner” and “Teen Wolf” star Dylan O’Brien, is not unlike “Zombieland” in its use of a young hero fighting off monsters in a dystopian society. It’s the only new PVOD title this week, so it’s unsurprising to see its high placement at FandangoNow, which ranks its charts by revenue. Still, it beat out “Mulan,” which costs $29.99. More impressive: It leads at Apple TV, which ranks by number of transactions, where it beat out right-wing documentary “Trump Card” with the bargain price of $3.99. (“Trump Card” was no. 1 at Google Play, no. 2 at Apple, and no. 3 on Fandango.)

In its fourth week, Jessica Chastain-actioner “Ava” remained #1 at Spectrum and is the only title to appear on all four charts this week. Along with “Love and Monsters,” two library titles now in theaters are also seeing a high level of home viewing. “Beetlejuice” and “Hocus Pocus,” both of which were in the box office top 10, received multiple rankings on VOD charts. Coexistence or coincidence? Major chains have no issue playing older films day and date, but continue to shun new ones (like “Love and Monsters,” which played independent outlets) despite the lack of new product available. Five new titles made their debuts this week; only one appeared on more than one chart. Grindstone’s zombie thriller “Alone” (not to be confused with Magnolia’s thriller “Alone”) ranked as no. 3 at Google Play and also is on FandangoNow. The other “Alone,” which is a remake of the Swedish film “Gone,” was no. 8 at Google Play. Also noted is “Into the Labyrinth,” an Italian thriller with a second-billed Dustin Hoffman in his first film since Netflix’s “The Meyerowitz Stories” in 2017. This was released in Italy a year ago and only now seeing U.S. play. Alex Gibney’s COVID documentary “Totally Under Control” got as high as no. 2 at Apple Play last week, but has yet to break through elsewhere. D.C. Comics’ animated home video release, “Batman: A Death in the Family,” and “Spontaneous,” a comedy-fantasy with Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer, also made single-chart initial debuts.

Netflix provides a curious top two titles, both originals. Adam Sandler’s “Hubie Halloween” has been #1 for 10 days, a long run for that rapid-turnover chart. Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” (a Paramount purchase), which debuted on Friday, is no. 2. That placement is higher than usual for a more-serious entry Netflix title. At no. 4 is “A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting” directed by Rachel Talalay, who broke out in the 1990s as a female genre pioneer with “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare” and “Tank Girl.”
