Rather they’ve serviced a statement pointing to The Digital Entertainment Group/Screen Engine/ASI’s VOD weekend rankings which contains streaming, PVOD and VOD feature titles claiming the comedy sequel was No. 1, even beating Paramount+’s first weekend stream of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Oddly enough, Screen Engine/ASI’s chart doesn’t even rank the weekend results for Disney+’s Raya and the Last Dragon.
