That said, the dominant title is Universal’s thriller “Nobody” starring Bob Odenkirk. It holds #1 spots on three of the charts (two based on total rentals, meaning even at $19.99 it outpaced all others) and is #2 on the fourth. The Universal film added PVOD after three weeks and remained #4 in theaters for the weekend. Odenkirk’s Nobody may be the next John Wick. “Promising Young Woman,” which went to PVOD in mid-January and has been available at standard pricing for more than a month, has been the best Oscar performer. It’s the only Oscar title on all four charts, including its first-ever #1 (at AppleTV). It’s also the top standard-price VOD at FandangoNow, where non-PVOD releases are at a disadvantage.
Other surge leaders include “Nomadland,” which was previously a Hulu exclusive along with its theatrical play. Going for $14.99, it placed #3 at AppleTV and #7 at FandangoNow. “Minari,” available for $19.99, placed #4 at AppleTV and #6 at FandangoNow. “The Father” made its initial showing at AppleTV at #8. It was a strong week for PVOD entries overall. “The Courier” and “Tom & Jerry” (both $19.99), and “Raya and the Last Dragon” ($29.99) each had at least one placement among the top four, as did the standard-price “Wonder Woman 1984.” One new title appeared: Saban’s “Night of the Sicario,” which has no connection to “Sicario” or its sequel, “Sicario: Day of the Soldado.” (All films have plots related to drug cartels.) Starring Natasha Henstridge as a federal witness under a death threat, it eked out 10th place at FandangoNow. Netflix There’s no sign of the Oscars on the Netflix charts. “Stowaway,” the Netflix Original mission-to-Mars thriller starring Toni Collette and Anna Kendrick, debuted on Friday to an immediate top position. “Thunder Force” with Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy is #3 in its third week. That’s greater longevity than most of its original content, and they’ve stuck around far longer than any of the Netflix awards contenders.
