Limited and Virtual Releases: Shirley, You Can’t be Serious
June 5th, 2020
It is actually a busy week for limited and virtual releases with a handful of higher profile films hitting theaters. This includes Shirley, which has enough appeal that it could have expanded wide, and earned some level of mainstream success under normal circumstances. Tommaso has more limited appeal, but it could have been a hit on the art house circuit. As theaters open up around the country, this weekend is going to be the biggest test yet of how the theatrical market might grow in the next few months.

Home Market Releases for June 26th, 2018
June 26th, 2018
As long time readers know, summer is the worst time of the year for the home market. Summer blockbusters are taking up everyone’s attention and it is still too soon for the rush of TV on DVD releases. The biggest first-run release of the week is Acrimony, which is only for Tyler Perry fans. As for the best of the rest, there are a handful of Pick of the Week contenders, including two Anime titles. To be more accurate, only one of them came out this week, as it took a couple of weeks for my screener of My Hero Academia: Season Two, Volume Two: Limited Edition Combo Pack to arrive. It is the Pick of the Week.

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for March 25th, 2014
March 25th, 2014
It is a good, but very shallow week on the home market. The Wolf of Wall Street is leading the pack, with the Blu-ray Combo Pack earning first place and DVD earning second. This is a $100 million hit and a multi-Oscar nominee, so it is not surprising it is earning the top two spots. On the other hand, third place currently belongs to Monster High: Frights, Camera, Action! on DVD. That's a real sign that it is a shallow week. That's not to say some of the smaller releases are not worth picking up. Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXIX is certainly a contender for Pick of the Week, but in the end I went with The Wolf of Wall Street. On a side note, Continuum: Season 2 on Blu-ray earned the Puck of the Week, for Best Canadian Release.
