The Accountant was apparently the most rented movie in 2017: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mpaa-touts-netflix-streamers-driving-growth-movie-spending-1099560

 

 

The report could be interesting, more detailled in some aspect than in recent year:

 

https://www.mpaa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/MPAA-THEME-Report-2017_Final.pdf

 

I would say this, this report match more what I read in studio annual report (about the box office revenues vs tv&home ent) and does not match deadline apocalyptic scenario of them very much. 85b in global revenues, half from theater more than half (with 100% return for the TV section) after theater.

 

According to the MPAA spending report, spending match studios revenus quite a bit:

 

United state spending

Theatrical: 35%

Physical hom ent: 22%

Digital home ent: 43%

 

(and add TV to that....)

 

TV + internet views of tv product exploded in 2016/2017 (doubled), diminished for movie not too suprisingly.

 

Top physical sellers in 2017 according to them

1: moana

2: rogue one

3: Wonder woman

4: Beauty

5: Guardian 2

6: spider man

7: Sing

8: trolls

9: Cars 3

10: Fantastic beasts

Rank	Title	Units Sold	Total Consumer Spending
1	Moana	4,394,672	$116,286,634	Buy
2	Beauty and the Beast	4,255,929	$85,131,977	Buy
3	Rogue One: A Star Wars Story	3,985,851	$81,081,110	Buy
4	Wonder Woman	3,850,584	$93,095,921	Buy
5	Trolls	3,530,413	$73,822,484	Buy
6	Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2	3,342,461	$64,933,483	Buy
7	Sing	3,298,699	$62,868,456	Buy
8	Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them	2,780,803	$57,143,378	Buy
9	Spider-Man: Homecoming	2,612,740	$47,895,231	Buy
10	Logan	2,284,265	$46,549,464	Buy

 

With cars 3, 48.3m being quite close to logan.

 

Not sure which is the better source, MPAA is using comscore.

 

You can see a bit of a different crowd and quite the different popularity in what is rented vs bought (The Adam Sandler movies were rented a lot for example in the past vs how much they were sold).

 

2 of Top 5 rented physical:

1: Accountant*

2: Moana

3: Beauty

4: Wonder Woman

5: Passenger*

 

Are not in the top 25 sold (dominated by family and/or franchise movies and Nolan ), Why Him? is even above Rogue One there. Not surprising to see holder skewing title/family movie like deepwater horizon, Moana doing really well there.

Gen Z rotten tomatoes is gonna be something else.

 

I keep seeing ads for that new movie blockers, it’s basically a comedy about these parents who are obsessed with their teenage daughters’ virginity/sexuality. like ... it’s 2018. this premise is not funny, it’s uncomfortable and regressive

Blackish did a pretty funny episode on the difference between a father dealing with his teenage son losing his virginity vs his daughter

Here’s something that’s going to shock all of you: Peter Rabbit’s pretty bad. But Queen Ridley sounded like she had fun doing her voice work though.

[Morieris]

I liked Peter Rabbit 

 

The 2018 movies I've seen have been in such a sorry state, it's probably #4 for me. Let me go update my post in that topic, come to think of it.

Peter Rabbit > most films

Tomorrow's Thursday, so I have Grandma.  We're debating about Peter Rabbit or Acrimony, because she has literally seen everything else in the theaters.  My aunt even took her to God's Not Dead 3.  So - I'm getting mixed things about Peter Rabbit? What about Acrimony?

I haven't seen Acrimony, but Peter Rabbit is better.
