Universal Studios Home Entertainment was very busy this past
week with announcements for not one, but three recent box office successes that
will making their way from your local multiplex to the home entertainment

The ARR works out to 95 days and ticket sales during the
film’s domestic theatrical run came to $26.4 million.
