With major theater chains expected to remain closed indefinitely and no major releases on the horizon, DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group recently introduced the "Watched at Home Top 20" list, which would tally up the most popular titles consumed on disc and digital (excluding outside subscription-based streaming platforms).
This week, Sony's Bad Boys for Life continued trending upward and finally overtook Disney/Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to claim the #1 spot on the list. STX's The Gentlemen, Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sony's Jumanji: The Next Level rounded out the top five.
Bad Boys for Life, The Gentlemen, and Like a Boss all made their physical home video debuts last week and all benefitted from their respective Blu-ray sales, with each title making major jumps. The Will Smith/Martin Lawrence actioner went from second to first while Guy Ritchie's latest went from seventh to third and the Rose Byrne/Tiffany Haddish comedy finally entered the Top 20 at #13.
