Saban’s Power Rangers movie released on home video this past June, and sales data is beginning to trickle in.
Lionsgate’s re-imagined Power Rangers pulled in $10.9 million in home video sales in its first month of release. Over half of that number came in the film’s first week of release, with $7.2 million of the total coming from Blu-ray purchases, and the remaining $3.7 million coming from DVD purchases.
The sales are as of July 16, 2017 via movie financial website The Numbers.
For comparison purposes, while Saban’s Power Rangers movie earned $6.7 million in its first week of release, other recent films such as Universal’s The Fate of the Furious earned $23.7 million in its first week, and Disney’s Beauty & the Beast earned $50.4 million in its first week.
The numbers would suggest that while Saban’s Power Rangers movie didn’t perform horribly, it far under-performed in home video sales versus its heavyweight competitors that accompanied the film in theaters in spring 2017.
Home video sales are beginning to release now as data is typically released at a 3-4 month delay.
Lionsgate has yet to issue any official word on a potential sequel.
The movie opened to mixed reviews from critics, but overwhelmingly positive reviews from both longtime fans and moviegoers alike. With an A grade from industry market research firm CinemaScore, and audience scores exceeding 80% on platforms such as Rotten Tomatoes and MetaCritic, Saban’s Power Rangers movie has thus far ranked among audience’s favorites in 2017.
Yet despite positive moviegoer reception, the film experienced mediocre results throughout its box office run – pulling in only $141.9 million worldwide.
Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary teens who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world- is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so, they will have to overcome their real-life issues and before it’s too late, band together as the Power Rangers.
Starring Becky G, Ludi Lin, Naomi Scott, Dacre Montgomery, RJ Cyler, Elizabeth Banks, and Bryan Cranston, Saban’s Power Rangers is available on home video now.
So where is the sequel news. I want a sequel dammit
Relax man! You will see the sequel trailer in dvd & video will released! So Saban Brand is to get in there and make trailers in dvds and videos!
I want a female red ranger for the sequel. Jason gets a cough and can no longer handle the pressure of two coughs per week so an unknown sister takes his place.
Power Rangers is dying slowly in America cause Ninja Steel’s ratings are freaking abysmal and everyone in the fandom hates it. Whats gonna save Power Rangers. I say having the show move to Netflix.
right!
@SuperDick Harry I haven’t seen the ratings for Ninja Steel, how far have they dropped?
Dino Charge was super popular both in terms of toy sales and ratings. There’s so much wrong with Ninja Steel that it would take forever to explain why it failed. If the show is bad from the get-go. People will NOT watch for 2 years. Which is why Saban’s current format is so flawed.
It’s because Ninjas aren’t super popular or relevant in America. That’s why adopting from Sentai can be a double edged sword.
Power Rangers Future/Upcoming: 2017 Film/Movie Sequels, 2018 Book, Documentary, TV Special and More: 25 Years of Power Rangers
Hopefully this garbage disappears, I was not a fan of the movie.
Power Rangers Future/Upcoming: 2017 Film/Movie Sequels, 2018 Book, Documentary, TV Special and More: 25 Years of Power Rangers (Franchise)
There will be no sequel, why can’t people finally embrace this idea? The movie vastly under-performed.
This Power Rangers Future/Upcoming: 2017 Film/Movies Sequels in 2018. IS ALWAYS BE IS SEQUEL!!
I’m Sorry. I Did Not Mean it. Maybe. But I talked too much.
Power rangers needs to move from Nickelodeon and somewhere else
Hey! Wait a minuite! Why did power rangers super ninja steel is coming back to nick or Why did power rangers steller force moving to Disney XD?
Agreed. Needs to be on a better network.
The movie was amazing and it deserves a sequel. Sick of these original power ranger fans that will not allow this franchise to evolve. It’s not mmpr or any of the series. It’s def not the first movie and thank god it wasn’t the turbo movie. It was its own great thing and comparing it to those other block busters is dumb. Beauty and the beast longevity could not be touched. Fast and furious had plenty of movies befor that to add to its hype. The movie made over budget and the toys were successful so let’s get to a sequel people.
Again for your mmpr who won’t let that go instead of going to the movie theatre and hating on progress just stay at home and watch Netflix. You can get all the mmpr you want there. I’ll end with saying I hate I have to agree with some people on this post. Ninja Steel could be a lot better. However as a true die hard fan from mmpr till now I’m still supporting it. We survived Disney so we should survive this too.
What are the international home video sales for Power Rangers? You forgot to mention those numbers.
