The Greatest Showman tops Bohemian Rhapsody and Avengers Endgame in incredible milestone

The Greatest Showman fought off mixed reviews upon its cinematic opening, storming the box office for months and seeing its soundtrack album top the charts around the world. Now almost four years since its release and the Hugh Jackman musical has hit another incredible milestone. In fact, this one topped the likes of Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and Marvel epics Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame.

Announced by the Official Charts Company and the British Association for Screen Entertainment, The Greatest Showman is the most digitally downloaded movie of all time in the UK.

The news came as these organisations celebrate 100,000,000 digital movie downloads since the Official Charts began.

The Greatest Showman topped the list with 1.1 million digital downloads since its release in 2018 – the first and only movie to surpass a million in Britain.

The Hugh Jackman musical was also the first film to ever reach 500,000 Download and Keep sales.

According to the Official Charts Company: “Ever since the film’s release, its success has continued to make headlines across both the Official Albums Chart and the Official Film Chart, including a return to the Official Film Chart Top 10 in February – marking Top 10 success across four different years.

“In total, The Greatest Showman has notched up over two years in the Top 40, with 126 non-consecutive weeks in the chart – more than any other film.”

Just behind the movie musical was Bohemian Rhapsody at No 2, followed by Avengers Endgame and Avengers Infinity War.

Meanwhile, this week’s Official Film Chart has seen Godzilla vs Kong climb back up to No 1 following its release on Blu-ray and DVD.

The monster movie knocked Zack Snyder’s Justice League off the top spot and back down into second place.

On digital download sales surpassing 100 million, Martin Talbot, Chief Executive of the Official Charts Company said: “Reaching 100m digital movie downloads is a huge milestone for the evolution of the video sector.

“Ownership of movie downloads was already growing rapidly before the beginning of 2020, but over the past 18 months it has genuinely surged.”

Talbot added: “Film fans of all generations have embraced the convenience of instantly delivered, always available digital entertainment – and I have no doubt that it won’t be long before we are celebrating the 200 million landmark.”

While Liz Bales, Chief Executive of BASE commented: “This is a huge moment of celebration for the Home Entertainment category as it shows just how much audiences have embraced the freshest ways to grow their film library, with a number that translates to around five-film downloads per household in the UK.

“It’s also so exciting to see digital formats snapping at the heels of the nation’s long-held favourite, the DVD, and sister premium formats Blu-ray and 4K UHD.

“Today’s news, coupled with the billions of physical film sales since the inceptions of those formats, continue to demonstrate just how much audiences love watching their favourite films at home as well as in cinemas.”
