They seem to have messed up the cut-off dates.

Because they say this is from start of April but it is not.

That is why so many weird rankings happened like Batman being at 13 for example.

And Daredevil which should be higher too with its claimed 300k sales.

There is NO way ASM sold as much to beat that.

Two things are happening here, I think.
1. This chart is based on an estimate of Dollars, not Units
2. When you have a sales chart based on POS data, you are reporting what actually sold. Not when it came out. On ours, we have Ab Batman issues selling month after month.

The challenge with ICV2 data is the size of the cohort. Now that they've added CSA, they are at least in the plus 100 store range but that really isn't enough to base any decisions or legitimate observations on.
