As many major theater chains remain closed indefinitely with no major domestic releases on the horizon, DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group introduced the "Watched at Home Top 20" list earlier this year, which tallies up the most popular titles consumed on disc and digital (excluding outside subscription-based streaming platforms). 

There's finally a new #1 as RLJ Entertainment's The Tax Collector roared past DreamWorks/Universal's Trolls World Tour, ending the animated sequel's five-week reign. David Ayer (Suicide SquadFury) directed the crime drama which starred Shia LaBeouf (Transformers; The Peanut Butter Falcon) and Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time; 24), amongst others. 

The first and third seasons of Paramount's Yellowstone remained in third and fifth, respectively, while Universal's psychological horror film You Should Have Left starring Golden Globe-winner Kevin Bacon (Patriots DayBlack Mass) and Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls; Mamma Mia!) dipped to fourth.

The rest of the top five was rounded out by season two of the Kevin Costner-fronted series, Screen Media Films' The Outpost in seventh, Warner Bros.' Scoob! in eighth, IFC Films' The Rental starring Alison Brie (Community; GLOW) and Dan Stevens (LegionEurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga) in ninth, and Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog in tenth.

As for the backhalf of the weekly list, Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom jumped up all the way to eighteenth following a recent sale on all digital retailers, including iTunes and Vudu.

For the week of August 13, here is the ‘Watched at Home Top 20’ list:

So apparently Shia Labeouf’s character in The Tax Collector sports a giant chest tattoo, in one scene, and instead of using makeup Labeouf got it done for real. I understand wanting to sacrifice for your craft, but you’ve got to pick your battles. Do that shit for Scorsese & Spielberg, and not VOD post-Suicide Squad David Ayer movies.

@santoanderson - On the bright side, Shia’s next two films sound pretty promising. One of them debuts at the Venice Film Festival in a few weeks and the other is directed by Olivia Wilde & co-stars Florence Pugh and Chris Pine.
I really want him for Moon Knight, but I think that Marvel might see him as a risk on top of him seeming to be disinterested in big budget projects as of late.
