THE HUNT Breaks Into The Top Three On DEG's Watched at Home Top 20 List While SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Remains #1

On DEG's latest Watched at Home Top 20, Paramount's smash hit Sonic the Hedgehog remains the top film, but there's a new entrant in the top three as Universal's The Hunt reenters the list.

With major theater chains expected to remain closed indefinitely and no major releases on the horizon, DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group recently introduced the "Watched at Home Top 20" list, which tallies up the most popular titles consumed on disc and digital (excluding outside subscription-based streaming platforms). 

For the fourth straight week, Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog was the #1 film on the list while Universal's The Invisible Man repeated in second place. Warner Bros.' Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and Sony's Bad Boys for Life dipped to fourth and fifth, respectively, as Universal's The Hunt leaped to third place following its Blu-ray and DVD debut last week.

Outside of that, there weren't many surprises, but Warner Bros.' Gone with the Wind made its debut at #10, getting an unexpected boost after its recent removal from HBO streaming platforms.

For the week of June 18, here is the ‘Watched at Home Top 20’ list:

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog (Paramount)
  2. The Invisible Man (Universal, 2020)
  3. The Hunt (Universal)
  4. Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn (WB)
  5. Bad Boys for Life (Sony)
  6. Jumanji: The Next Level (Sony)
  7. Bloodshot (Sony, 2020)
  8. The Call of the Wild (Disney, 2020)
  9. 1917 (Universal)
  10. Gone with the Wind (WB)
  11. Fantasy Island (Sony, 2020)
  12. The Gentlemen (STX/Universal, 2019)
  13. Onward (Disney)
  14. Spies in Disguise (Fox)
  15. Dolittle (Universal)
  16. Ford v Ferrari (Fox)
  17. Yellowstone: S1 (Paramount)
  18. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: S5 (MTV)

I wonder how many people who rented Gone with the Wind actually watched the whole movie?

@TheUnworthyThor - It's an 80 year old movie that is #1 at the boxoffice all time when adjusted for inflation. I'd say it's safe to say that tens of millions of people have watched the whole thing. 😜

@inkniron - It’s just like it’s in the top ten as a sort of protest which is whatever but I just have a hard time believing that most people who rented or bought it actually sat down and watched all 3 hours and 40 minutes plus of the movie after doing so.

@TheUnworthyThor - Oh, I get that. Surely some watched though. Personally, I'll probably watch Grease and Dirty Dancing before I ever hit that one up and I've been avoiding those for decades.

@inkniron - Scarlet O'Hara is basically every vapid mean girl you've ever seen in a teen movie, but in a hoop skirt.

@knocturnalzen10

It was dumb fun for me. I think it could've been better...A LOT BETTER with a different director and another pass or two on the script. But as an on the couch feature, it was fine.

And Betty Gilpin never gurts.

@BlackBeltJones

Betty Gilpin was the one thing I LOVED about this movie. She was awesome and this flick definitely put her on my radar.

As a movie I paid $20 for....I expected a lot more. They genuinely made this movie sound more controversial than it was and most of the jokes were such low hanging fruit.

I just expected a lot more from Lindelof after the roll he was on.

I’d give it a 3 or 4/10 but I am glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 I probably wouldn’t have been so hard on it if it wasn’t a $20 rental.

@regularmovieguy - How many times do you guys have to hear LINDELOF MAKES TRASH FILMS before you'll believe it.

Sonic was funny. The Invisible Man was GREAT! I'll see The Hunt this weekend. Bloodshot was a good Vin Diesel film. Knives Out was AWESOME. If you haven't seen Guns Akimbo...DO SO!!!! Samara Weaving is wicked good and Daniel Radcliffe had me cracking up. Samara Weaving is the next Margot Robbie. Ready or not was good. She will be in Bill and Ted: Face the Music,Snakeyes, plus 4 other films in 2020.

@knocturnalzen10 - Bro I wanted that film with my 12 year old daughter...we had to pause it a dozen times to laugh. We can never look at a yellow Minion in the same light ever again! I rented it from Redbox and bought it the next day.

@knocturnalzen10 - Do yourself a little favor. Use pause and read some of the post that are being written in the film. Some of them are pretty funny.
