PORTLAND, Ore., July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak
(NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and
TV everywhere, today announced the top weekly cross-platform
entertainment rankings for July 8,
2015.
Paramount's "Terminator Genisys" led the worldwide weekend
box office derby, earning a total of $101 million in 46
international territories plus North America. Universal had a
banner weekend with their monster-sized "Jurassic
World" adding another $71.2
million globally this weekend, bringing its global
tally close to $1.4 billion. Meanwhile, Universal's diminutive
"Minions" earned a not-so-small $54.3
million in 26 international territories in advance of its
North American release later this week.
In North American box office action, Disney's "Inside Out"
impressively took the top spot for the very first time in its third
weekend of release, just barely outpacing Universal's "Jurassic
World" with a mere $529,199
separating the two movies. "Inside Out" has a North American
total to-date of nearly $250 million
and "Jurassic World," with a $556.5
million total, is now the fifth-highest grossing film ever
released domestically (and counting).
Warner Bros.' "Run All Night," an action-packed gangster crime
thriller starring Liam Neeson, takes
the top spot this week on our Movies on Demand chart, with
Lionsgate's teen comedy "The DUFF" dropping to second place after a
first place finish last week.
On our digital purchases and rentals chart, Fox's, "Kingsman:
The Secret Service" continues to dominate the top spot with its
amazing R-rated action premise with Sony's robot
movie, "Chappie," in hot pursuit in second place. Warner
Bros.' "Run All Night" climbed up the charts to the number three
spot.
At the top of our DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales chart, in a repeat
performance, Fox's "Kingsman: The Secret Service" guards its place
at number one in its third week in release once again against
Warner Bros.' "American Sniper" at number two. On the rentals side,
"American Sniper" holds the top spot, followed by Sony's popular
"Chappie."
Telemundo's "El Senor de los Cielos" once again tops our viewer
engagement for broadcast telecasts chart, followed again this week
by the "2015 NBA Finals" on ABC with third place going to ION's
"Criminal Minds."
Our top viewer engagement for cable telecasts chart has a
newcomer to the top spot with TNT's "Major
Crimes" knocking last week's number one-ranked VH1's
"Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" to the second spot followed by TNT's
"Rizzoli & Isles."
On our combined social media and digital engagement chart for
viewers of broadcast and cable telecasts, BBC America's "Top
Gear" announced Chris Evans as its new lead as well as
the rest of the line-up. The story was posted on Facebook and
earned 3k+ interactions. This was followed by ABC's "Jimmy
Kimmel Live" on which Fifth Harmony performed. The performance
was uploaded to YouTube, where it received 891k+ views. The
third spot went to ESPN's "SportsCenter" that posted a picture of
the Curry family ready to celebrate on Instagram.
