Projections: 'Straight Outta Compton' Seeks to Top Disc Sales Chart
25 Jan, 2016 By: John LatchemUniversal's Straight Outta Compton will look to take over the home video sales charts the week ending Jan. 24 after an impressive theatrical run.
The film, about the rise of rap group NWA, earned $161.2 million at the domestic box office.
Compton will have to displace strong holdover titles such as Fox's The Martian and Sony Pictures' Hotel Transylvania 2. Also in the mix are newcomers such as Universal's Everest and Warner's The Intern.
The rental chart doesn't expect to see much change from the previous week, with HT2 on top.
