“Monster Hunter” spent nine weekends as a theatrical exclusive and grossed $13.4 million domestically, for about $25 million worldwide. The film took a hit when Chinese officials banned it for content offensive to local sensibilities. (It would have been Sony’s first post-COVID release in China.) It leads FandangoNow’s chart (based on revenue earned) and spent five days as #1 on Apple TV. It’s now #2 at Apple TV and GooglePlay, which lists by rentals.

“Greenland” is now #1 at Apple TV and GooglePlay. Considering the word-of-mouth generated since its December 25 home-only release at $19.99, the price reduction will likely propel it to many weeks more play.

Four titles placed on all charts. “Tenet,” continuing its very successful transition to $5.99, had the highest placement with two slots at #3. “The Croods: A New Age” is still PVOD and #1 in theatrical box office, was in the top five everywhere. “Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar” found rankings between #4 and #7, making it the best start for a PVOD original since “Greenland.” Focus Features Spectrum’s #1 is Focus’ standard-price “Let Him Go”; the long-running modern Western ranks at the lower end of three other lists. Like its parent Universal, it’s releasing films on PVOD three weeks after theaters and reducing the rental fee about two months later. Also continuing strong is PVOD “Wonder Woman 1984,” which is still in theaters but currently unavailable on HBO Max. Unknown is the performance of “Nomadland” on Hulu. It debuted on the streaming site the same day as it went into general theatrical release, with an apparent (though unreported) $500,000 gross at around 1,200 theaters nationally. Three new releases popped up for the first time on one chart each. “Silk Road,” a thriller about a DEA agent chasing a drug-selling website, is #4 at Apple TV at $5.99. “The Swordsman,” a Korean period action film, is #7 there, with a price as low as $3.99 at some sites. The animated “Monster Zone,” from Mexico’s Anima Studios and now with English-speaking voices, is #7 at Spectrum. “I Care a Lot,” a dark comedy in which Rosamund Pike tries to swindle seniors out of their homes, raced to #1 at Netflix. The other new original there this week is a 45-minute interactive documentary of sorts, “Animals on the Loose.” Last week was led by sequel “To All the Boys: Always and Forever”; it’s dropped off the chart after its Valentine’s Day weekend debut.
