PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak
(NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and
TV everywhere, today announced the top weekly cross-platform
entertainment rankings for Jan. 13,
2016.
Disney's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" continued its
record-breaking sprint, adding another $145.93 million this past weekend
globally. The film began its box office journey
in China on Saturday, bringing in $52.4 million over the two-day weekend
and making it the highest Saturday/Sunday opening of
all-time in that country. The box office juggernaut is
now the third-highest grossing movie of all-time on a worldwide
basis (with $1,733.4 billion) after
just 26 days in cinemas.
FOX's awards season favorite, "The Revenant," starring
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, is off to a
blazing wide-release start, taking in an impressive
$58.2 million globally this weekend
in theaters across just 11 territories around the
globe. It also took the number two spot this weekend in North
America, chasing close behind "Star Wars."
"Star Wars" fever continues on the small screen as "The Star
Wars Trilogy" lead the way in DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales
and is getting an obvious boost from the attention paid to the
latest installment now breaking box office records in theaters
around the world.
FOX's "The Martian" was a major hit on the big screen
late last year and enjoyed a solid showing at "The Golden
Globe Awards" this past weekend. It is no surprise
that the Matt Damon acting tour-de-force directed by Ridley Scott topped our latest digital
movies sales and rentals chart.
In TV engagement for broadcast and cable, NBC's
"Saturday Night Live" leads the way, having aired
its last episode of 2015 on Dec. 19. The "A Hillary
Christmas" clip was the top performer with 2.35M
views.
