In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group. We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey. The market share is converted into a weekly sales estimate based on industry reports on the overall size of the market, including reports published in Media Play News.įor example, if our weekly retail survey estimates that a particular title sold 1% of all units that week, and the industry reports sales of 1,500,000 units in total, we will estimate 15,000 units were sold of that title. Our DVD and Blu-ray sales estimates are based on weekly retail surveys, which we use to build a weekly market share estimate for each title we are tracking.

I thought The Wedding Ringer was funny, and I quite liked it. He finds laughs, he clearly trusts Gad and Hart, and – even though it feels longer – he stops the film before it gets to an hour 50. But director Jeremy Garelick, who co-wrote the script with Jay Lavener, knows his way around comedy. ![]() Characters drift in and out, as if it’s a sketch show rather than a movie. The narrative veers between utterly predictable to a little creepy. At one point, I even forget I was listening to Olaf from Frozen, such is his commitment to physical comedy in particular. Kevin Hart, in an instant, makes you wish he’d got one of The Hangover roles, as I was left feeling that he’s far better at making something out of slight material than the lead trio there. But The Wedding Ringer lives or dies on whether it makes you laugh.Īnd it made me laugh. To clarify: it still huffs and puffs through the motions, and there’s a random American Football game and a stop more than an ending to contend with. And it’s when he’s building his relationship with his new bought in best friend, Jimmy, that the film works. Still, at least Gad’s Doug Harris gets the screentime to be something else. It’s a couple getting married on a comfortable bedding of bullshit, and both are actively complicit in that. Not that Gad’s, ultimately, is too much nicer. One of those who can organise wedding stuff for other people but never… oh, hang on. If you’re very rich – which Gad’s character is – then you can hire the services of Kevin Hart’s Jimmy (the other leading man). One of them, Josh Gad, is getting married, but has no friends, so doesn’t have a best man, and doesn’t have a wedding party, and somehow – in that way that only happens in movies – he’s neglected to mention this to his bride. ![]() It’s called… (two ticks)… The Wedding Planner! See? It’s all planners, ringers and singers. The Wedding Ringer, though, shares a bit in common with The Hangover films (don’t run away yet), and a bit in common with that Jennifer Lopez movie where she organises weddings for other people, but never one for herself. Where next? The Wedding Swinger? The Wedding Dinger? Don’t bother registering the URLs, I’m ahead of you. So derivative is it, it actually shares 15 characters with the title of The Wedding Singer. Rotten Tomatoes says it’s rubbish, plus it’s a sort-of-romantic-comedy that sticks to its formula and adds nothing to cinema. I’m not supposed to like The Wedding Ringer.
