It is a slow week on the home market for two reasons. Technically it is one reason, but it is having two effects.

The biggest release of the week, not counting VOD releases is The Hitman’s Bodyguard, which I reviewed.

It was down to a roll of the dice, but The Villainess on Blu-ray Combo Pack is the Pick of the Week.

It is not a particularly strong week on the home market. Cars 3 is the biggest new release, but it is far from the best. There were not a lot of contenders for Pick of the Week. The Philadelphia Story and Your Name were the two best with the latter coming out on top and its Blu-ray Combo Pack is the Pick of the Week.

There are not a lot of prime choices on this week’s list of limited releases. Beach Rats is likely going to be the biggest hit, but Unleashed only costs $10 to buy on Video on Demand, which is a good deal.
