The box office has suffered some major disappointments this year. But some of those movies that dramatically flopped are finding a modicum of new life through digital.
Every week, Fandango Now provides Business Insider with its top movies that people are renting or buying through the service. Fandango Now is movie-ticket service Fandango's on-demand video service, in which viewers can rent or buy from a selection of over 900,00 movies on digital, including recent theatrical releases, without a subscription.

This week includes blockbusters like "Toy Story 4" and "Spider-Man: Far From Home" as well as movies that failed to attract audiences while in theaters, such as the comedy "Stuber" and the "X-Men" movie "Dark Phoenix." It suggests that audiences are far more willing to watch a movie they are hesitant of on digital at a lower cost than they are to go to the theater.
We've included the percentage of the total of buys/rentals the movie has on Fandango Now. A lower percentage doesn't necessarily mean it's not desirable, just that bigger or newer movies are making up a larger percentage. However, a movie can also climb if it resonates: "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum" rose from ninth place last week to sixth on this week's list.
