Lots of new stuff in the chart this week. Wish they had compared the Sparks of Hope sales to the original like they often do with sequels.

Christopher Dring gave some info on Twitter. It sold half of what the original sold and dropped 52% in the second week while the original dropped 69%.
Sparks of Hope had a digital share of a bit below 30%.

Damn selling half what the original did in its debut week isn't great. But a drop of 50 % is a pretty good hold though. I guess like the original it might end up getting the majority of its sales further down the line when it goes on sale.

Forgot to say, it sold half of the original physically. So with digital it probably looks a bit better.
