Disney’s Marvel spin-off took the top spot at Apple TV and FandangoNow, while Russell Crowe’s stalker thriller is #1 at Google Play. Two items of note: “Mutants” shows its strength by taking the top spot at Fandango, which ranks by revenue, not transactions; that’s impressive for a standard-price title. Unlike “Mutants,” “Unhinged” had a PVOD release and now sees a revival at its lower price. These two titles were the only ones to place on three charts. (Spectrum’s weekly chart lags behind and will likely show them next week.) “Unhinged” placed #2 and #3 elsewhere, while “Mutants” was #5 on Google. Spectrum lists “The Informer” (Vertical) in first.

The sole new PVOD release is “Come Play,” which Focus opened in theaters October 30. It also was #4 in theaters this weekend, though like all titles it saw little revenue ($550,000). The Amblin Entertainment horror title grossed about $8 million in theaters. It came in at #3 at FandangoNow (its weeklong chart included three days of the film’s availability) and is at #8 on Google Play. “Iron Mask” (Lionsgate), a Russian-Chinese $50 million coproduction that saw minor foreign theatrical response last year, stars Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the story of Peter the Great; it got as high as #2 at Apple TV. “Jiu Jitsu” (Avenue), a $25 million Cyprus-shot tale of martial artists taking on aliens, starring Nicolas Cage, Tony Jaa, and Alain Moussi, placed on two charts. The oddball title of the week “My Cousin Vinny” (Disney, former Fox) is #4 at Apple TV. It showed up prior to Rudolph Giuliani citing the 1992 film during his sweaty press conference November 20. Maybe he channel-surfs VOD platforms in his spare time. Christmas has taken control at Netflix, which features in seven of its top 10 titles. At #1 is sequel “The Princess Switch: Switched Again Part 2.” Originals dominate their listings; expect “Christmas on the Square” with Dolly Parton to rise quickly. Meantime, “The Life Ahead” with another icon, Sophia Loren, fell off the chart after a week. The streamer reports the Italian production is an international success with initial high placement in all their territories. An original twist this week on their chart at #7 is “If Anything Happens to You.” The 12-minute film describes how grieving parents recover after a child dies in a school shooting.
