    Stats:

    For the week ending June 11, 2022, here are the stats:

    Percentage of revenue (MPN):
    Blu-ray vs DVD: 42.10% vs 57.90%

    Blu-ray sales total spending: $11.25 million
    DVD sales total spending: $15.47 million

    These stats are available from here:

    Media Play News



    Top 10:

    The Northman was the top-seller for the week, that only included 3 other new releases, and two of them were 4K re-releases.

    The Contractor was the other new release, coming in at 7th.

    The 4K re-releases were Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai, in 8th and 15th respectively.

    So it was another quiet week, with Blu-ray revenue staying near record lows again.

    This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both "The Northman" and "The Contractor" were made available on 4K. Every single title 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. The Northman+
    2. The Batman+
    3. Top Gun+
    4. Spider-Man: No Way Home+
    5. Uncharted+
    6. Jurassic 5-Movie Collection+
    7. The Contractor+
    8. *Lawrence of Arabia+
    9. Dune: Part One+
    10. Sing 2+


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

    The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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 Northman" got a BD sales share of 63.27%, while "The Contractor" just failed to get over the 50% mark with 49.81%.

    On 4K, "The Northman" managed a UHD sales share of 20.08%, with "The Contractor" getting 9%.

      For the week ending June 18, 2022, here are the stats:

      Percentage of revenue (MPN):
      Blu-ray vs DVD: 45.87% vs 54.13%

      Blu-ray sales total spending: $14.12 million

      These stats are available from here:

      Media Play News



      Top 10:

      The top-seller for the week was the new release Morbius. It easily outsold everything else this week, including the next new release, Ambulance in 4th place.

      Father Stu, in 9th, was the next new release.

      The 4K SteelBook release of Raiders of the Lost Ark was 15th. The other movies are coming in a strange staggered release pattern.

      These new releases helped Blu-ray revenue rise by almost $3 million compared to the last week.

      This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both "Morbius" and "Ambulance" were made available on 4K. 9 titles out of 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. Morbius+
      2. The Batman+
      3. Top Gun+
      4. Ambulance+
      5. Spider-Man: No Way Home+
      6. Dune: Part One+
      7. The Northman+
      8. Uncharted+
      9. Father Stu
      10. Sing 2+


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

      The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

      "Morbius" had the best BD sales share out of this week's (non Blu-ray exclusive) releases, with 67.49%. "Ambulance" wasn't too far behind with 63.30%, with "Father Stu" at around 40%.

      On 4K, "Morbius" did quite well with a 4K UHD sales share of 26.19%. "Ambulance" didn't do too bad either with 21.54%.

        Top 10:

        The Bad Guys was the week's top-selling new release, coming in second place, behind last week's number one, "Morbius".

        The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was in third place, not too far behind "The Bad Guys".

        It was then all the way down to 15th for the next new release, the Best Buy exclusive 4K SteelBook release of Universal Soldier.

        This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both "The Bad Guys" and "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" were made available on 4K. Every single title in this week's top 10 had UHD editions!

        "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" had the highest of this week's BD sales shares, with 77.28%. "The Bad Guys" didn't do as well with 54.36% (still respectable for an animated title).

        On 4K, "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" continued its good run with a 4K sales share of 32.14%, ahead of the 10.02% earned by "The Bad Guys".

        The sea of red you see below is kind of unfair for this week, as it was up against this time last year when the Amazon Prime Day sale event was on (it's happening at a different time this week).

        Blu-ray sales decreased by $10.77m (down 45.6%), with unit sales down 34.5%.

        DVD sales decreased by $9.87m (down 37.5%), with unit sales down 33.1%.

        This meant $20.64 million less in combined revenue for the week.

          Top 10:

          New release Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was the top-selling title for the week. There were only two other new releases in the top 10, True Romance: Limited Edition in 6th and Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks & Legend of the Sea Devils.

          Despite the new "Fantastic Beasts" movie being a bit of a disappointment box-office wise, it still helped Blu-ray revenue rise slightly compared to last week.

          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" and "True Romance: Limited Edition" both had 4K editions. Every single title 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 +):

          "Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks & Legend of the Sea Devils" actually had the best BD sales share of this week's three releases, with a BD sales share of 63.91%. "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" wasn't too far behind with 61.76%.

          On 4K, "True Romance" managed a 4K sales share of 91.20%, meaning almost everyone bought the 4K editions over the Blu-ray only edition of this classic movie. "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" had a 4K sales share of 14.56%, which is only average, to be honest.

            Top 10:

            Fan-favourite and the better of this year's multiverse movies, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the top-selling title for the week.

            It was joined by Downton Abbey: A New Era in third, and Memory in 6th.

            Edge of Tomorrow gets a 4K release for the first time, and re-enters the top 10 in 7th, while the Criterion Collection version of Netflix's Okja was 15th.

            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: All of this week's new releases (in the top 20) had 4K editions or were 4K only releases like "Edge of Tomorrow", except for "Memory". 9 titles out of 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. Everything Everywhere All at Once+
            2. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
            3. Downton Abbey: A New Era+
            4. The Bad Guys+
            5. Morbius+
            6. Memory
            7. *Edge of Tomorrow+
            8. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent+
            9. The Batman+
            10. Spider-Man: No Way Home+


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

            The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

            "Everything Everywhere All at Once" had the best BD sales share of this week's new releases, with a super high 88.33% (I guess this is the dimension where people didn't want to buy the DVD version of this film). "Downton Abbey: A New Era" was all the way down the chart, with 47.59%, but was still better than "Memory" at 45.50%.

            For 4K sales share, "Okja" did best with 71.98% opting for the 4K release instead of the standard Blu-ray one. "Everything Everywhere All at Once" did well too with 43.95%, while "Downton Abbey: A New Era" had to settle for 4%.

              Media Play News



              Top 10:

              The Amazon Prime Day sales were on during this week, which explains the nice bump in Blu-ray sales, despite the lack of any compelling new releases. Weekly Blu-ray market share was also above 50% for the first time since April.

              The Criterion Collection editions of Raging Bull was the best-selling new release, coming in at 5th.

              The next new release was in 7th, The Beatles: Get Back.

              And that was it in terms of new releases in the top 20.

              This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: "Raging Bull" did have a 4K edition, but "The Beatles: Get Back" did not. 9 titles out of 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. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
              2. Everything Everywhere All at Once+
              3. The Batman+
              4. Downton Abbey: A New Era+
              5. *Raging Bull+
              6. The Bad Guys+
              7. The Beatles: Get Back
              8. Morbius+
              9. Harry Potter Complete 8-Film Collection+
              10. The Godfather Trilogy+


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

              The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

              "Raging Bull" wasn't made available on DVD, so it did not have a BD sales share (or rather, it was at 100%). "The Beatles: Get Back" did have both Blu-ray and DVD editions, and 65.91% of all sales for this title were on Blu-ray.

              On 4K, 87.44% of sales for the Criterion Collection edition of "Raging Bull" were for the 4K version. So Criterion's decision to start making 4K discs was the right one, it seems.

              The stats for the week ending July 17, 2021 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: $21.35 million
              Amazon Prime Day fell on a different week last year, so this explains the 41% rise in Blu-ray revenue compared to this time last year.

              Blu-ray sales increased by $5.87m (up 41.1%), with unit sales up 11.7%.

              DVD sales decreased by $2.95m (down 13.8%), with unit sales down 26.1%.

              This meant $2.92 million more in combined revenue for the week.

                Top 10:

                Bob's Burgers: The Movie was the best-selling new release for the week, coming in at 3rd place.

                Drive My Car was the next new release in 8th place. Outside of the top 10, the Criterion release of Devil in a Blue Dress was 11th.

                The SteelBook release of Good Burger was 15th. And finally in 19th was Castlevania: The Complete Fourth Season.

                This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: "Bob's Burgers: The Movie" and "Devil in a Blue Dress" both had 4K editions (the former's 4K edition was a Best Buy exclusive). 9 titles out of 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. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
                2. Everything Everywhere All at Once+
                3. Bob's Burgers: The Movie+
                4. The Bad Guys+
                5. Downton Abbey: A New Era+
                6. The Batman+
                7. Morbius+
                8. Drive My Car

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

                The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                Of the non Blu-ray exclusive releases this week, "Drive My Car" actually had the best BD sales share, with a massive 89.48%. "Bob's Burgers: The Movie" did well too with 70.45% and "Castlevania: The Complete Fourth Season" also did well with 67.82%.

                On 4K, "Devil in a Blue Dress" (both a 4K and standard Blu-ray release was made available) got a massive 4K UHD sales share of 79.87%. "The Bob’s Burgers Movie" had a Best Buy exclusive 4K edition, and it accounted for 34.90% of all disc sales.

                  For the week ending July 30, 2022, here are the stats:

                  Percentage of revenue (MPN):
                  Blu-ray vs DVD: 45.06% vs 54.94%

                  Top 10:

                  Blu-ray revenue fell from last week despite the release of an A-list title in the form of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The fact that this movie dropped on Disney+ way back in June probably had something to do with its lacklustre performance on Blu-ray.

                  It was still easily the week's top seller, selling almost three times as many copies as the second-placed, and also new, The Lost City.

                  Green Lantern: Beware My Power, in third place, was also new.

                  The only other new release was the 4K release of Species in 16th place.

                  This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: All of this week's four new releases in the top 10 had 4K editions or were 4K only releases. Every single title out of 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. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness+
                  2. The Lost City+
                  3. *Green Lantern: Beware My Power+
                  4. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
                  5. Everything Everywhere All at Once+
                  6. The Bad Guys+
                  7. Morbius+
                  8. Spider-Man: No Way Home+
                  9. Downton Abbey: A New Era+
                  10. The Batman+


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

                  The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                  "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" had the best BD sales share of this week's non Blu-ray exclusive new releases, with 71.63%. "The Lost City" didn't do as well, getting only 42.84%.

                  The new "Doctor Strange" movie did well on 4K, with a UHD sales share of 36.45%. "Green Lantern: Beware My Power" did well too, with 22.12%. Again, "The Lost City" was the one trailing everyone else, with only 8.79%.

                    Top 10:

                    Weekly Blu-ray market share fell below 40%, the first time since May, and Blu-ray revenue was almost at record lows - there was only one new release in the top 20!

                    That single release was the 4K release of Tenebrae, all the way down in 17th.

                    And that was it for the very, very quiet week.

                    This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Tenebrae was a 4K-only release. Every single title out of 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. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness+
                    2. The Lost City+
                    3. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+

                    9. The Batman+
                    10. Uncharted+


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

                    The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                    As "Tenebrae" was a 4K only release, it did not qualify for ranking in either the Blu-ray or the 4K sales share chart (as it nominally had a 100% ranking for both charts).

                    Interestingly, " Everything Everywhere All at Once" topped both the Blu-ray and 4K charts with the impressive results of 78.23% and 31.90% respectively.

                      Top 10:

                      Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was the best-selling overall title and new release for the week ending August 13, 2022. It easily outsold everything else for the week, and even the obligatory Blu-ray only Sonic 2-Movie Collection sold well enough to land a 5th place finish.

                      The 4K release of Heat was in third place.

                      Men was in 8th place, while another 4K release, this time for Event Horizon, was 10th.

                      There was only one new release outside of the top 10, and that was Last Seen Alive in 11th.

                      These new releases helped Blu-ray revenue and market share to recover slightly ... but only slightly.

                      This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Other than the 4K only releases, only "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" had a 4K edition. 8 titles out of 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 +):

                        Top 10:

                        A big release this week helped Blu-ray revenue and market share rise. Jurassic World Dominion outsold everything else quite easily. The obligatory multi-movie collection (they release one of these after every new movie it seems ... triple, quadruple dipping by now) was also in the top 10, Jurassic World: Ultimate Collection was 5th.

                        The Black Phone was in third place.

                        The rest of the new titles in the top 10 were all 4K-only releases, Child’s Play: Collector’s Edition in 7th, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 10th, and Red Dawn: Collector's Edition in 11th.

                        This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Other than the 4K only releases, only "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" had a 4K edition. 8 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

                        The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                        "Jurassic 6-Movie Collection" had the best BD sales share of this week's (non Blu-ray only) releases, with a BD sales share of 68.22%. "Jurassic World Dominion" wasn't too far behind at 65.55%. "The Black Phone" got a respectable 58.63%.

                        On 4K, "Jurassic 6-Movie Collection" managed a 4K sales share of 22.04%, just ahead of "Jurassic World Dominion" with 19.82%.

                          Top 10:

                          A very quiet week in which My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission was the sole new release in the top 20.

                          The only other note of interest was "Game of Thrones: The Complete Series" jumping back into 8th (was 95th last week) on the backs of the debut of "House of the Dragon". I wonder if "The Lord of the Rings" discs will make a comeback next week ...

                          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: "My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission" wasn't made available on 4K. 8 titles out of 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. Jurassic World Dominion+
                          2. *My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission
                          3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2+
                          4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness+
                          5. The Black Phone
                          6. Jurassic World: Ultimate Collection+
                          7. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
                          8. Game of Thrones: The Complete Series+
                          9. Dune: Part One+
                          10. The Lost City+


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

                          The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                          As "My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission" was a Blu-ray only release, it does not have a BD sales share (or rather, it's at 100%). On 4K, "Game of Thrones: The Complete Series" had the best 4K sales share, with 72.89% of buyers this week opting for the 4K edition.

                            Media Play News



                            Top 10:

                            The week ending September 3, 2022 has the unenviable record of the lowest weekly Blu-ray results since September 21, 2008. That's not a type, that's 2008, not 2018, and that's almost back to when we started keeping track of Blu-ray revenue.

                            The bad results may have something to do with the Labor Day long weekend and a total lack of compelling new releases in the top 10. The only new release in the top 10 was 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story, in second place.

                            We asked last week if "The Lord of the Rings" discs will make a comeback this week due to the release of Amazon's "Rings of Power" series, and yes, it did, coming in at 6th.

                            Outside of the top 10, the Best Buy exclusive 4K SteelBook edition of Warrior was 11th, while the 4K collector's edition of Belle was 14th.

                            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: "1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story" wasn't made available on 4K. 7 titles out of 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. Jurassic World Dominion+
                            2. 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story
                            3. My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission
                            4. Sonic the Hedgehog 2+
                            5. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness+
                            6. The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy+
                            7. The Black Phone
                            8. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
                            9. Jurassic World: Ultimate Collection+
                            10. Top Gun+


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

                            The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                            "1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story" only managed a BD sales share of 25%.

                            It's worth noting that "The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy" had a 4K UHD sales share of 42.88%, so lots of people decided to go straight to the 4K edition to get their LOTR fix.

                              Top 10:

                              ** Please note, there appears to be an error with this week's DVD stats posted by Media Play News, in that they are exactly the same as last week's. We are investigating. **

                              Blu-ray revenue recovered (slightly) from last week's historical lows as Minions: The Rise of Gru was the best-selling title of the week.

                              Other new releases this week include Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition, which along with the 6-movie 4K collection, was also issued with the five other movies in the TOS movie franchise. As such, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan were also in the top 10, in 9th, 15th and 16th respectively.

                              The 4K Best Buy exclusive version of 3:10 to Yuma was also in the top 20, at 11th.

                              This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: All of this week's previously mentioned new releases (in the top 20) were available on 4K. 8 titles out of 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. Minions: The Rise of Gru+
                              2. Jurassic World Dominion+
                              3. 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story
                              4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness+
                              5. My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission
                              6. *Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition+
                              7. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore+
                              8. Sonic the Hedgehog 2+
                              9. *Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country+
                              10. The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy+


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

                              The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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 only new release that actually had a DVD-only edition, and therefore a BD sales share, was "Minions: The Rise of Gru", and it managed a BD sales share of 55.76%. Respectable for a kid's title.

                              For 4K sales share, most Trekkies/Trekkers opted for the 4K edition when a couple of the new releases this week also had Blu-ray editions, notably "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" with a 4K share of 96.31%, "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" with a 4K share of 95.38%, and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Edition" with 78.50%.

                              "Minions: The Rise of Gru" only recorded a 4K sales share of 8.20%, which again is reasonable considering it's a kid's title.

                                Top 10:

                                Elvis was the best-selling new release for the week, and it was also the overall top-seller.

                                But despite this relatively successful movie (box office wise), and six other new releases in the top 20, Blu-ray revenue wasn't much higher than compared to the previous week, which has been fairly subdued in recent weeks.

                                The other new releases were Where the Crawdads Sing in third place, and Lightyear in fourth. The Pixar animated movie would normally be a big seller on Blu-ray, but ever since Disney started releasing their movies on Disney+ prior to their home release, sales haven't reached the peaks experienced in earlier years (the fact that "Lightyear" performed weakly at the box office was also another reason, although this doesn't always preclude a good run on Blu-ray).

                                The rest of the new releases were all 4K re-issues. Real Genius was 6th, just ahead of The Fog and its many Shout Factory exclusive editions in 8th.

                                Friday the 13th was 15th, just ahead of Platoon in 16th.

                                This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Apart from the 4K exclusive releases, "Elvis" was made available on 4K. 7 titles out of 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:

                                The BD sales share is the percentage of disc packages sold for that contained the titles's Blu-ray edition (including combos, and Ultra HD editions) for a particular title. 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.

                                "Lightyear" managed a respectable Blu-ray sales share of 58.35%, which was well ahead of the 49.07% earned by "Elvis".

                                On 4K, "Lightyear" was again ahead of "Elvis", with a 4K sales share of 18.50% versus 11.76% (a disappointing figure given the visual spectacle of a movie).

                                "Minions: The Rise of Gru" only recorded a 4K sales share of 8.20%, which again is reasonable considering it's a kid's title.

                                The stats for the week ending September 18, 2021 are as follows. Some small adjustments to the data posted last year (based on more recent updates) have been made and are shown below.

                                Blu-ray: $16.61 million
                                DVD: $21.78 million
                                This time last year saw the much bigger movie "Black Widow" being released for the first time on the disc formats, and as a result for this week, Blu-ray revenue was down 33.3% compared to that week. This is why we have an "all red" week once more (where every metric below is in the "red" compared to the same week last year).

                                Blu-ray sales decreased by $5.53m (down 33.3%), with unit sales down 34.7%.

                                DVD sales decreased by $4.64m (down 21.3%), with unit sales down 28.3%.

                                This meant $10.17 million less in combined revenue for the week.

                                Blu-ray's market share decreased from 43.27% to 39.26%
