It is fitting that Universal's "Minions" tops the global box

around the globe, making it the 12th Marvel Universe

prison comedy "Get Hard" is number one again this week followed by
newcomer "Woman in Gold" and Sean
Penn in Universal's action drama "The Gunman."

Hard," now in its fourth week of release, has ascended the chart to
the top position. Fox's Dreamworks animation title "Home"
holds strong in its second week in the second spot. Sony's
comedy sequel "Paul Blart: Mall Cop
2" debuts on the charts in the number six position.
It's déjà vu at the top of our DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales chart
this week in the top two spots with Warner Bros.' "Get Hard"
starring Will Ferrell and
Kevin Hart and Fox's action favorite
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" leading the charge followed by the
debut of Lionsgate's suspense drama "Maggie" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger & Joely Richardson.
This week on the DVD and Blu-ray Disc rentals side of the
ledger, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" takes first followed by
Warner Bros.' caper crime comedy "Focus" starring Will Smith and Margot
Robbie, which continues to be an audience favorite in its
sixth week in release on the small screen, followed by Warner's
sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending."
