PORTLAND, Ore., June 10, 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 10,
2015.
Warner Bros.' "San Andreas" caused a seismic worldwide box
office event as it led the global pack this weekend with
$124.24 million in 69 territories and
nearly $300 million total to-date. In
comedy action, Fox's comedy "Spy" starring Melissa McCarthy infiltrated 55 territories
earning $55.6 million this weekend
for a worldwide total nearing $90
million. Notably, Warner Bros.' "Mad Max: Fury Road" crossed
the $300 million mark globally this
weekend and Universal's "Pitch Perfect 2" hit the $250 million global mark and counting.
In North American box office action, a casting coup and an
irresistible R-rated comedy action concept took Fox's "Spy" to the
top of the box office chart this weekend with $29.1 million. The pairing of Melissa McCarthy with Jason Statham (not to mention Jude Law and Rose
Byrne) gives the star her third biggest debut in a lead role
behind only "The Heat" and "Identity Thief." Last weekend's big
winner, Warner Bros.' action-adventure "San Andreas," starring
mega-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, shook things up in the second
spot with $25.8 million and a total
just shy of $100 million in
North America after 10 days in
release. In the wake of a very strong showing on Friday, Focus
Features' PG-13 horror sequel "Insidious 3" debuted in third place
with $22.7 million.
On our digital purchases and rentals chart, Warner Bros.'
"American Sniper," now in its fifth week of release, shoots back up
the charts into the number one position while 20th Century Fox's,
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" moves to the second spot in its
second week of release. Sony's acclaimed "Whiplash" re-enters the
chart in the third position.
Warner Bros.' war drama "American Sniper" this week tops both
our Movies on Demand chart and our DVD and Blu-Ray Disc sales
chart. Notably, Universal's family sci-fi movie "Seventh Son,"
starring Jeff Bridges, makes a
strong second place debut on the very same DVD and Blu-Ray Disc
sales list, while taking third position on the Movies on Demand
lineup. Also on this week's DVD and Blu-Ray Disc sales chart,
Liam Neeson takes first place with
'Taken 3," followed by Jennifer
Lopez in the campy fun of "The Boy Next Door."
Azteca America's "Futbol Liga MX"
hits number one this week on our top viewer engagement for
broadcast telecasts chart followed by Telemundo's "El Senor de los
Cielos" and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" in
third.
On our top viewer engagement for cable telecasts chart, VH1's
"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" lands in first place while WE's
"Braxton Family Values" grabs the second spot followed by Logo's
"RuPaul's Drag Race."
On our combined social media and digital engagement chart for
viewers of broadcast and cable telecasts, Christina Aguilera helped secure the top spot
for NBC's "The Voice" this week. Her digital exclusive,
"Master of Impressions," had 4.6M+ YouTube views. A very
sincere speech by Jimmy Kimmel
bidding farewell to David Letterman helped lead ABC's
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" to the second spot. The video earned 2.1M+
views on YouTube. ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" added a
finale video of Derek and Julianne's dance to Facebook. The post
had over 152k interactions.
