Following a long theatrical run and a month at $19.99, “Tenet” is now thriving at $5.99 and holds the top spot at all three lists that rank by purchases. At FandangoNow, which ranks by revenue, it is #6, the highest among standard-price entries. Best of all for Warner Bros., its normal share of a VOD release is around 70 percent. That compares to the 63 percent it demanded from theaters.
“Tenet” held off two significant new PVOD entries from Universal and Focus, “News of the World” and “Promising Young Woman.” Paul Greengrass’ Tom Hanks western led Apple TV for three days and placed second to “Tenet” at Google Play over the weekend (before falling a notch at each, respectively). This comes as Universal’s “The Croods: A New Age” continues its strong presence at $19.99. “News” is #1 at FandangoNow, with “Promising” at #3 on their PVOD-dominated list.
“American Skin,” the first film from Nate Parker after “The Birth of a Nation,” priced at $6.99, placed #3 and 4 respectively at Apple TV and Google Play. The film, about a veteran seeking justice after his son is killed by police, was written by, stars, and was directed by Parker. It debuted at the 2019 Venice Film Festival to negative reviews. It also opened in 51 theaters this weekend, grossing around $35,000.
Also making a significant showing on one chart is IFC documentary “MLK/FBI,” timed for the Martin Luther King holiday. It is #5 at Apple TV.
“The War With Grandpa,” now at standard price, is on all four charts. Also on all four is “Greenland,” which remains popular as PVOD.
On Netflix, original title “Outside the Wire” from veteran Swedish director Mikkael Hafstrom (about a futuristic war involving robots) has topped the list since release last Friday. It replaced Robert Rodriguez’s family film “We Can Be Heroes,” which had six days at #1. “Pieces of a Woman,” which preceded it, has dropped off the chart.
