Two major hits debuted for home viewing this week, with very different gaps between their theatrical releases and PVOD availability. “Avatar: The Way of Water” (Disney), which appeared after 100 days and $680 million in domestic gross, is currently #1 everywhere. “Creed III” (MGM) arrived after only 28 days to place #2, also on all charts. “The Way of Water” is available to buy for $19.99, while “Creed III” can only be rented for 48 hours.

Also debuting is “Champions” (Focus, $19.99), consistent with the company’s usual post-third weekend release. It made two lists, as high as #4 at Vudu (which measures by revenue, not transactions, unlike iTunes and Google Play). Vudu also has the latest DC Comics home video original “Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham” (Warner Bros. Discovery) at #9 for $14.99.
Two films that made all three lists are now available at $5.99 with “A Man Called Otto” (Sony) and “Puss in Boots: The Last Exit” (Universal). “Cocaine Bear” (Universal), still at $19.99, also made all three and charted as high as #3 at Vudu.
Last week’s “John Wick”(Lionsgate) boomlet receded, with “Chapter 4” presales holding on to #10 at iTunes, and two earlier titles at the lower end of Google Play’s top 10.
Netflix original “Murder Mystery 2” with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston was an immediate #1 for the streamer, with the 1999 original placing second. “Kill Boksoon,” a South Korean thriller about a woman whose life is split between maternal duties and work as a hired killer, placed #9 as the second in-house title in its top 10. Most of the chart is comprised of studio releases making their first appearances led by 2011 remake “The Thing” at #3, with three animated titles that reflect a lot of young kids on spring break.
