Comic book movies of 2017: Home media sales
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 debuted at the number one spot on DVD and Blu-ray. It even managed to stay number one at both for three weeks. Not only that, but sold over 1.7 million units combined in its first week. It was in the top ten best selling Blu-rays for nearly two months. Come Black Friday week it got a huge boost, becoming the number seven best seller of the week. It would drop but remain in the top ten best selling Blu-rays until Christmas! It even entered the all-time best selling Blu-ray list.
Now Vol. 2 has not done the numbers of the first one, but again this film is still brand new. Plus, we can look at the fact Vol. 2 beat the original in the box office. At the moment, Vol. 2 resides on the lower end of MCU’s sales but give it some time. No doubt it will sell a bunch more. That or Rocket can steal enough to make up for the gap.
