    Top 10:

    Blu-ray sales rose compared to the previous week thanks to the release of Jumanji: The Next Level, which topped the Blu-ray sales chart quite easily. The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle/The Next Level double movie pack finished in 7th.

    The other new releases didn't do as well, with Superman: Red Son coming closest, finishing in 3rd place.

    Richard Jewell was in 8th, while the Blu-ray exclusive release One Piece: Stampede finished outside of the top 10 in 17th.

    This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both 'Jumanji: The Next Level' and 'Superman: Red Son' got UHD editions. 7 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.



    The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
    1. Jumanji: The Next Level+
    2. Frozen II+
    3. Superman: Red Son+
    4. Spies in Disguise+
    5. Knives Out+
    6. Midway+
    7. *Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle/The Next Level
    8. Richard Jewell
    9. Ford v Ferrari+
    10. Uncut Gems


    Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

    BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

    Out of this week's previously mentioned new releases, 'Superman: Red Son' had the best BD sales share - 83.64%.

    'Jumanji: The Next Level' was the next best with 57.12%, while 'Richard Jewell' just managed to get over the 50% hurdle with 51.18%.

    On 4K, 'Superman: Red Son' had a UHD sales share of 11.17%, while 'Jumanji: The Next Level' got 10.40%.

    The new Jumanji movie was up against both 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' and 'Mary Poppins Returns', so not much of a contest really. So yep, another "all red week".

    Blu-ray sales decreased by $17.54m (down 41.1%), with unit sales down 36.5%.

    DVD sales decreased by $6.69m (down 18.3%), with unit sales down 16.6%.

    This meant $24.23 million less in combined revenue for the week.

      Top 10:

      Despite the release of critical favourite 1917, Blu-ray revenue fell compared to recent weeks as sales of 'Frozen II' started to slow.

      The only other release in the top 20 was The Grudge: The Untold Chapter, coming in at 10th.

      This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: '1917' did have a UHD release. 7 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

      It was 'Aquaman' vs '1917', and the superhero movie that was released the same week last year won in the end easily. An "all red" week was unescapable.

      Blu-ray sales decreased by $22.85m (down 52.4%), with unit sales down 50.5%.

      DVD sales decreased by $14.58m (down 36.7%), with unit sales down 29.8%.

        Top 10:

        Blu-ray revenue rose above $30 million for the week again thanks to a big release: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.

        It easily outsold everything in its wake, including last week's number one '1917' by almost a 10-to-1 margin.

        In 4th place was Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 9-Movie Collection and the Star Wars theme continued with the 4K re-release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, coming in 14th place.

        The Current War: Director’s Cut rounded off the top 20 at 20th.

          Stats:

          For the week ending April 11, 2020, here are the stats:

          Percentage of revenue (MPN):
          Blu-ray vs DVD: 47.26% vs 52.74%

          Blu-ray sales total spending: $23.90 million
          DVD sales total spending: $26.67 million

          These stats available from here:

          Media Play News



          Top 10:

          This year's pre-Easter sales bump pretty much did not eventuate, with sales actually falling compared to the last week. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown, perhaps, finally visible clearly on the sales figures.

          Last year's pre-Easter week happened a little later (the week ending April 20, 2019), but it brought $35.81m in Blu-ray sales and $74.82m in total sales. This year, this is down to $23.90m and $50.57m respectively.

          And it's not due to releasing either, as while the film business grinds to a half, the current batch of new releases are all from pre-outbreak times and we won't be seeing the lull in new releases until a couple of months down the track.

          As such, Dolittle was the best selling new release for the week, coming in at a distant 2nd place behind last week's number one, 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker'.

          Little Women, the next new release, was in 3rd place while the much-maligned Cats was in 7th.

          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Only 'Dolittle' was available on UHD. 8 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

          The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
          1. Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker+
          2. Dolittle+
          3. Little Women
          4. Jumanji: The Next Level+
          5. 1917+
          6. Frozen II+
          7. Cats

          It was actually 'Cats' that had the best BD sales share, with 55.49%. 'Little Women' was next with 55.30% and 'Dolittle' wasn't too much behind with 52.60%.

          On 4K, 'Dolittle' managed a UHD sales share of 6%.

          DVD: $33.76 million
          This mid-outbreak pre-Easter week actually did less well than a week in which "A Dog’s Way Home" was the top-selling new release exactly a year ago. That says something!

          Blu-ray sales decreased by $2.95m (down 11.0%), with unit sales down 13.2%.

          DVD sales decreased by $7.09m (down 21.0%), with unit sales down 20.2%.

          This meant $10.04 million less in combined revenue for the week.

            Media Play News



            Top 10:

            The post-Easter lull is upon us, and sales this year were largely comparable to the previous year.

            There were a couple of new releases too, but they weren't the most popular titles. The most popular new release was Underwater in 6th place, followed by Just Mercy in 7th.

            We described last year's post-Easter lull (happening during the week ending April 27, 2019) as "one of the worst in terms of sales", but Blu-ray revenue managed to go even lower this year, albeit only slightly. DVD revenue actually rose for some reason.

            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Neither of the two new releases were made available on UHD. 7 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

            The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
            1. Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker+
            2. Dolittle+
            3. Jumanji: The Next Level+
            4. 1917+
            5. Little Women
            6. Underwater
            7. Just Mercy
            8. Frozen II+
            9. Joker+
            10. Knives Out+


            Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

            BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions).

            'Underwater' had the better BD sales share out of the two new releases, with a BD sales share of 54.72%. 'Just Mercy' had to make do with 43%.

            DVD: $38.97 million
            Not really a fair comparison because we're comparing the post-Easter lull with the pre-Easter sales bump, which happened this time last year. An "all red" week was inevitable.

            Blu-ray sales decreased by $16.51m (down 46.0%), with unit sales down 47.0%.

            DVD sales decreased by $11.3m (down 29.0%), with unit sales down 26.7%.

            This meant $27.81 million less in combined revenue for the week.

            Blu-ray's market share decreased from 47.94% to 41.19%.

              Top 10:

              A big A-list release coupled with a couple of other minor releases helped to lift Blu-ray sales slightly for the week ending April 25, 2020.

              Bad Boys for Life was that A-list release, easily beating everything else in its wake, include 'The Rise of Skywalker'.

              The Bad Boys 3-Movie Collection also sold well, coming in at 6th.

              There were four other new releases in the top 10. The Gentlemen (trailer) came 3rd, just ahead of Ip Man 4: The Finale in 4th.

              Like a Boss got a 10th place finish, while The Last Full Measure (trailer).

              This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Bad Boys for Life' (not the 3 movie collection), 'The Gentlemen' and 'Ip Man 4: The Finale' were all made available on UHD. 7 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

              The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):

              Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

              BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

              'The Gentlemen' had the best BD sales share out of this week's new releases, with a BD sales share of 63.13%.

              'Ip Man 4: The Finale' got 56.12%, while top seller 'Bad Boys for Life' got 53.79%.

              'The Last Full Measure' got 52.60%, while 'Like a Boss' got 47.86%.

              DVD: $25.63 million
              Again not a fair comparison like last week, but the opposite - a normal week this year compared to the post-Easter lull from last year.

              Blu-ray sales increased by $1.89m (up 9.6%), with unit sales up 7.4%.

              DVD sales increased by $3.33m (up 13.0%), with unit sales up 10.0%.

              This meant $5.22 million more in combined revenue for the week.

              Blu-ray's market share decreased from 43.46% to 42.71%.

                Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

                BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

                'Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge' had a BD sales share of 73.46%, with 10.40% UHD sales share.

                  Top 10:

                  New release Bloodshot was the week's top-selling title in another week where Blu-ray revenue hovered around the $20 million mark.

                  Two more new releases were in the top 10, with I Still Believe in 3rd and Gretel & Hansel in 8th.

                  And that was it for new releases. The COVID-19 inspired lull in releases is just around the corner, so expect new releases to be far and few in between until the summer movies like Tenet and Mulan, if they don't get cancelled first, arrives on disc later in the year.

                  This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Only 'Bloodshot' was released on UHD. 7 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

                  The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                  1. Bloodshot+

                        BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

                        'The Invisible Man' had a BD sales share of 51.41% and a UHD sales share of 10.74%.

                        An "all red" week in which every metric below was worse off when compared to the same week a year ago. That week wasn't a big week in terms of new releases either, with the only release in the top 10 being 'Outlander: Season Four'. A combination of the long term decline of physical media and the COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for this week's poor showing.

                        Blu-ray sales decreased by $1.62m (down 8.1%), with unit sales down 6.5%.

                        DVD sales decreased by $0.84m (down 3.2%), with unit sales down 3.3%.

                        This meant $2.46 million less in combined revenue for the week.

                        Blu-ray's market share decreased from 43.10% to 41.83%.

                          Stats:

                          For the week ending June 6, 2020, here are the stats:

                          Percentage of revenue (MPN):
                          Blu-ray vs DVD: 39.49% vs 60.51%

                          Blu-ray sales total spending: $16.35 million
                          DVD sales total spending: $25.05 million

                          These stats available from here:

                          Media Play News



                          Top 10:

                          A lack of new releases, cased by the COVID-19 pandemic, has seen Blu-ray revenue dip to $16 million, the lowest I can remember for several years (edit: lowest since September 11, 2010!). Blu-ray market share also dipped below 40%.

                          Two new entries popped up in the top 10, with the 4K only 45th-anniversary re-release of Jaws, in 6th place, outselling the other new release Watchmen (the 2019 HBO limited series) in 10th.

                          With no big blockbuster releases in theaters until July at the earliest, this will become the new normal for the next couple of months at least.

                          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Jaws', being a 4K only release, was obviously available on 4K UHD. 'Watchmen', on the other hand, did not have a 4K release. 9 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

                          The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                          1. Sonic the Hedgehog+
                          2. The Invisible Man+
                          3. Onward+
                          4. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn+
                          5. *Justice League Dark: Apokolips War+
                          6. *Jaws: 45th Anniversary Edition+
                          7. The Call of the Wild+
                          8. Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker+
                          9. Bloodshot+
                          10. *Watchmen (2019)


                          Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

                          BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

                          'Watchmen' had a BD sales share of 74.42%.

                          DVD: $27.93 million
                          Another "all red" week in which every metric below was worse off when compared to the same week a year ago. Expect more of this for most the year, if not into 2021.

                          Blu-ray sales decreased by $4.56m (down 21.8%), with unit sales down 22.5%.

                          DVD sales decreased by $2.88m (down 10.3%), with unit sales down 11.4%.

                          This meant $7.44 million less in combined revenue for the week.

                            Stats:

                            For the week ending June 13, 2020, here are the stats:

                            DVD sales total spending: $25.43 million

                            Top 10:

                            Blu-ray revenue fell again this week, making it the new worst set of results since September 11, 2010, replacing last week's record. The COVID-19 caused lack of new releases continue, with only one new release in the top 10, The Hunt in second place, and coupled with the economic downturn, the poor results is therefore completely understandable.

                            The politically motivated buying of Gone With the Wind helped it to re-enter the top 100 at 5th place.

                            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: No new 4K releases in the top 20 this week. 8 titles in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

                            The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                            1. Sonic the Hedgehog+
                            2. The Hunt
                            3. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn+
                            4. Onward+
                            5. Gone With the Wind

                            9. The Invisible Man+
                            10. Top Gun+

                            'The Hunt' scrapped past the 50% mark with a BD sales share of 50.75%.

                            The stats for the week ending June 15, 2019 are as follows. Some small adjustments to the data posted last year (based on more recent updates) have been made and are shown below.

                            DVD: $34.41 million
                            It's fair to say that for the next few months, almost every week will be an "all red" week in which every metric from the currently examine week will be below that of the same week a year ago. This week certainly, because it's 'The Hunt' up against 'Captain Marvel'!

                            Blu-ray sales decreased by $22.19m (down 58.0%), with unit sales down 54.6%.

                            DVD sales decreased by $8.98m (down 26.1%), with unit sales down 19.7%.

                            This meant $31.17 million less in combined revenue for the week.

                            Blu-ray's market share decreased from 52.65% to 38.72%.

                              Blu-ray revenue and market share recovered slightly from recent (almost 10-year) lows, although there was not a single new release in the top 20 this week. This trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

                              For the record, 'Birds of Prey' was the top selling Blu-ray for the week.

                                'Sonic the Hedgehog', which has been on top of the combined Blu-ray and DVD charts for a few weeks now, was the top selling Blu-ray as well for the week.

                                Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share:

                                BD sales share for a title is the percentage of disc packages sold for this movie that contained the Blu-ray edition of the film (including combos, and Ultra HD editions). So a BD sales share of 60% indicates that 60% of disc packages sold for this particular film contained the Blu-ray edition for this film, and so anything over 50% means that the Blu-ray version of the film was more popular than the DVD version.

                                Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw had the best BD sales share (62.91%) in this week's market share top 20, while on UHD, the 45th anniversary edition of Jaws was once again on top with a 26.46% UHD sales share.
