Using chart positions to determine relative revenues is an imperfect gauge of success and “Maverick” does remain on top at both iTunes and Google Play. What makes “Thor” stand out is, unlike “Maverick,” it can also be seen free streaming for subscribers at Disney+. iTunes has “Thor” at #2, while Google Play puts it third. It is one of three recent releases to place on multiple charts, with Sony’s “Where the Crawdads Sing” ($19.99, initially also to download) on all three, with #3 its highest placement at iTunes. Universal’s “Beast” ($19.99, to rent only) is on two and is #3 at Vudu.

“About Fate” (United Artists/$6.99), a direct-to-VOD rom-com starring Emma Roberts also is new this week, reaching #8 at iTunes. Along with “Maverick,” “Thor,” and “Crawdads,” Universal titles “Black Phone” (Universal/reduced to $5.99), “Nope,” and “Minions: The Rise of Gru” all placed everywhere. Universal continues as the dominant VOD studio, with 13 of 30 possible slots this week.
