Knock at the Cabin #1 on PVOD, The Whale Leads Oscar Nominees

M. Night Shyamalan’s “Knock at the Cabin” (Universal/$19.99), the studio’s final film before moving to Warner Bros. Discovery, was No. 1 on all VOD charts in its first week of release. This, like the Universal titles, will hit theaters after its third weekend. In contrast, the director’s 2021 film “Old” waited more than two months.

“The Whale” (A24/$19.99) challenged, reaching No. 2 on iTunes and Vudu and No. 4 on Google Play. Darren Aronofsky’s film, fresh off Brendan Fraser’s SAG Best Actor award, spent more than two months as a theatrical exclusive.

Four Universal titles took up 12 of the 30 possible slots this week, or 40 percent. All were released after the third weekend; All but “The Fabelmans” remain at the premium price of $19.99. “Puss in the Boots: The Last Wish” is number two or three on all lists, and “M3GAN” (which also has an unrated version on Google Play) is number four.
