LOS ANGELES – January 31, 2019 – FandangoNOW, Fandango’s on-demand video streaming service, reported that in its first two weeks of availability, “A Star Is Born” has already eclipsed 2013’s “Frozen” in total digital purchases. Bradley Cooper’s music-based drama is now the service’s #3 best-selling title to own, with only 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” ranking ahead of the film in all-time sales.
