PORTLAND, Ore., June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak
(NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and
TV everywhere, today announced the top weekly cross-platform
entertainment rankings for June 3,
2015.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson created a seismic box-office
experience in 61 global territories this past weekend as Warner
Bros.' earthquake adventure "San Andreas" takes the top spot with
an impressive $114.6 million
worldwide debut. With $60 million
generated in the international markets, the movie also shook North
American theaters with a number one opening of $54.6 million.
Universal's "Pitch Perfect 2" keeps singing its way up the
charts with no end in sight and in its third weekend the movie
continues to draw enthusiastic crowds. The movie now has a
worldwide total of $228.2
million and with a second place finish in North America of $14.8
million, the movie posted a modest third weekend drop (just
52%) and now has a North American total nearing the $150 million mark (which is more than twice the
entire box office of the first installment).
On our digital purchases and rentals chart, 20th Century Fox's
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" was crowned with the number one spot
in its first week of release while Warner Bros.' "American Sniper"
in its fourth week of release continues to dominate the number
two position. Warner Bros.' 1981 release, "Mad Max 2: The Road
Warrior" starring Mel Gibson hit the
charts at the number 15 position thanks in part to the theatrical
release "Mad Max: Fury Road" and its success at the box office.
All is fair in love and war on our Movies on Demand chart and
our DVD and Blu-ray Disc Sales chart which are both topped by
Warner Bros.' war drama "American Sniper" followed in the second
spot by Universal's erotic drama "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Univision's "Hasta el fin del mundo" is number one this week on
our Top Viewer Engagement for Broadcast Telecasts chart followed by
last week's leader, Telemundo's "El Senor de los Cielos" and CBS's
"NCIS" in third.
AMC's "Mad Men" series finale drew a huge amount of audience
interest as the critical and audience favorite enjoyed its last
call at the bar. VH1's "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" landed in
second place while A&E's acclaimed "Bates Motel" took the third
position.
On our combined social media and digital engagement chart for
viewers of broadcast NBC's "The Voice" semifinals got under way
this week with Sawyer Frederick's
rendition of For What It's Worth leading this week with
over 519k views. ESPN's "SportsCenter" grabbed second with the
help of Odell Beckham Jr. with an
