    Stats:

    For the week ending June 3, 2017, here are the stats:

    Percentage of revenue:
    Blu-ray vs DVD: 37.37% vs 62.63%

    Blu-ray sales total spending: $27.10 million
    DVD sales total spending: $45.41 million

    These stats available from here:

    Home Media Magazine



    Top 10:

    Blu-ray sales dropped back by quite a bit this week, but DVD sales surprisingly remained resilient - this is most likely due to the type of new releases this week that may appeal more to DVD buyers than Blu-ray buyers.

    The top selling Blu-ray title this week was still 'Logan', but in second place was the highest selling new release, The Shack.

    It easily outsold the third placed title, another new release, Fist Fight.

    That was it for the action within the top 10, but in the top 20 was a couple of new releases, The Blackcoat's Daughter in 13th and Before I Fall in 20th.

    This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: None of the previously mentioned new releases were made available on UHD, which probably didn't help with the weekly Blu-ray market share, dropping back 8 percentage points compared to last week. Five out of the tpten number of titles in the Blu-ray top 10 that 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. Logan+
    2. The Shack
    3. Fist Fight
    4. The Great Wall+
    5. Get Out
    6. Fifty Shades Darker+
    7. Moana
    8. Rogue One
    9. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter+
    10. xXx: Return of Xander Cage+


    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.

    You might be interested to find out that it was actually 'The Blackcoat's Daughter' that had the week's best BD sales share result, with a massive 96.07%.

    'Before I Fall' managed 43%, but the other two new releases only did averagely on Blu-ray, which explains this week's less than stellar weekly Blu-ray market share results. 'Fist Fight' got 39% while 'The Shack' got 34%.

    None of this week's mentioned new releases were available on 3D or UHD.

      Stats:

      For the week ending June 10, 2017, here are the stats:

      Percentage of revenue:
      Blu-ray vs DVD: 51.86% vs 48.14%

      Blu-ray sales total spending: $56.26 million
      DVD sales total spending: $52.23 million

      These stats available from here:

      Home Media Magazine



      Top 10:

      There's a big new release this week and it was so big that it helped Blu-ray market share go over the 50% mark for the third time ever in history, and the other two times were all for Disney (Star Wars) titles. Blu-ray revenue was also over the $50 million mark for the first time since the April Easter sales.

      Disney's live action remake of Beauty and the Beast easily outsold everything this week, including last week's number one, 'Logan'.

      Bambi: Signature Collection was the next best selling new release in a distant 3rd place, and being a re-release, it too helped with the Blu-ray market share figure.

      That was it for new releases in the top 10, but there were a couple of others beyond it. A Cure for Wellness was in 11th, while The Assignment was in 12th.

      Aftermath was in 19th, and there was even one that failed to make the Blu-ray top 20, but got in the combined Blu-ray and DVD top 20, I Am Dragon (18th on the combined list).

      This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Sadly none of this week's previously mentioned new releases were available on Ultra HD Blu-ray. As a result, only four titles in the Blu-ray 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. Beauty and the Beast
      2. Logan+
      3. Bambi: Signature Collection
      4. The Shack
      5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them+
      6. Moana
      7. The Great Wall+
      8. Rogue One
      9. Fifty Shades Darker+
      10. Get 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). 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.

      Being a re-release, naturally 'Bambi' had the best BD sales share, with 77.42%. Beauty and the Beast wasn't too far behind though, with 72.36%.

      'A Cure for Wellness' also managed to get over the magical 50% mark with 56.77%, while 'The Assignment' just missed out with 47%.

      'Aftermath' and 'I Am Dragon' got 31% and 27% respectively.

      This time last year also saw a huge Disney release in the form of 'Zootopia', but Beauty and the Beast blew it out of the water, at least on Blu-ray.

      Blu-ray sales increased by $9.53m (up 20.4%), while DVD sales decreased by $8.22m (down 13.6%) producing $1.31 million more in combined revenue.

        Stats:

        For the week ending June 17, 2017, here are the stats:

        Percentage of revenue:
        Blu-ray vs DVD: 47.75% vs 52.25%

        Blu-ray sales total spending: $50.27 million
        DVD sales total spending: $55.01 million

        These stats available from here:

        Home Media Magazine



        Top 10:

        Blu-ray revenue stayed above the $50 million mark again this week on the back of not one but two fairly major releases, combined with last week's top seller, 'Beauty and the Beast', continuing to sell strongly. Despite the bigger box office draw, The Lego Batman Movie only came in third behind the aforementioned Disney live action remake in second place, and new release John Wick Chapter 2 in top spot. All 3 titles weren't too far apart either, in terms of sales.

        The other two new releases in the top 20 were a bit more apart. Mine came 17th while Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire came in at 20th.

        So while Blu-ray revenue did drop a bit compared to the high of last week, DVD revenue did grow.

        This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both of the top 2 selling new releases had Ultra HD editions and 'John Wick Chapter 2' was especially well received on UHD, just like the first John Wick movie. Five titles in the Blu-ray 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. John Wick Chapter 2+
        2. Beauty and the Beast
        3. The Lego Batman Movie+
        4. Logan+
        5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them+
        6. Bambi: Signature Collection

        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.

        'John Wick Chapter 2' not only led the Blu-ray sales chart, it was also the best of the new releases in terms of BD sales share (or maybe it was because of the high BD sales share that allowed the sequel to top the Blu-ray sales chart). 'John Wick Chapter 2' managed 64.48%.

        'The Lego Batman Movie' was so very close behind too on the BD sales share chart, with 64.35%.

        'Mine' got 39%.

        The Ultra HD edition of 'John Wick Chapter 2' got a high UHD BD sales share of 10.04% (meaning 1 in 10 copies sold contained the UHD edition), higher than the 3.35% for 'The Lego Batman Movie'. 'The Lego Batman Movie' was also available on 3D, with a 3D BD sales share of 2.04%.

          Percentage of revenue:
          Blu-ray vs DVD: 38.34% vs 61.66%

          Home Media Magazine



          Top 10:

          Blu-ray revenue came back down from the recent highs as the release schedule for the week did not contain an A-list release like in recent weeks.

          The best selling new release was Life, but it could only climb as high as 4th on the Blu-ray sales chart, within a whisker of the third best seller, 'The Lego Batman Movie'.

          And not only do we not get any big releases this week, we also don't have too many releases altogether. The only other new release in the top 20 was Jackie Chan's Railroad Tigers in 11th.

          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Life' did come with a UHD edition, but 'Railroad Tigers' did not. Five titles in the Blu-ray 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. Beauty and the Beast

            Stats:

            For the week ending July 1, 2017, here are the stats:

            Percentage of revenue:
            Blu-ray vs DVD: 37.08% vs 62.92%

            Blu-ray sales total spending: $26.49 million
            DVD sales total spending: $44.95 million

            These stats available from here:

            Home Media Magazine



            Top 10:

            Blu-ray and DVD revenue continued to drop from recent highs, despite the presence of 5 new releases in the top 20.

            Power Rangers was the top selling new release and overall top seller on Blu-ray for the week, toppling the recent top seller 'Beauty and the Beast'.

            It's all the way down to 5th for the next new release, CHiPs.

            The other three new releases fell outside of the top 10, with T2 Trainspotting coming closest at 11th, followed by The Belko Experiment in 15th and Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Dark Side of Dimensions in 16th.

            'Power Rangers' only did okay at the box office, and so without the availability of a real "A-list" release, naturally, disc sales dropped compared to recent weeks, as did weekly Blu-ray market share.

            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both 'Power Rangers' and 'T2' were available on UHD. 'Power Rangers' is an interesting release in that it's the first UHD title with Dolby Vision to come from studio Lionsgate (and one of the very few Dolby Vision titles available, at the moment). Five titles in the Blu-ray 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. Power Rangers+
            2. Beauty and the Beast
            3. John Wick Chapter 2+
            4. The Lego Batman Movie+
            5. CHiPs
            6. Logan+
            7. Life+
            8. Moana
            9. Bambi: Signature Collection
            10. Rogue One


            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.

            'T2 Trainspotting' led the BD sales share chart with a share figure of 66.64%. 'Power Rangers' wasn't too far behind either with 64.88%. 'The Belko Experiment', with 51.44%, completed the trio of releases that managed to get over 50% for their BD sales share.

            'Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Dark Side of Dimensions' managed 47.55% while 'CHiPs' got 45.39%.

            The two Ultra HD releases, 'Power Rangers' and 'T2' both did relatively well with UHD sale shares of 6.58% and 6.26% respectively.

              For the week ending July 8, 2017, here are the stats:

              Top 10:

              A lack of new releases, and the 4th of July holiday, meant that Blu-ray and DVD revenue dropped compared to last week.

              The most popular new release actually only finished in 6th place, and it was The Zookeeper's Wife. It was the only new release in the entire top 20. This isn't too hard to understand, since studios rarely want to release new movies during holiday weeks (unless it's something 4th of July related).

              This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: "The Zookeeper's Wife" was not released on UHD, and so no new UHD releases in the top 20 this week. Five titles in the Blu-ray 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. Beauty and the Beast

              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 Zookeeper's Wife" managed 41.96%, which is respectable but not the highest. No 3D or Ultra HD Blu-ray releases this week.

                Top 10:

                An A-list release in the form of The Fate of the Furious helped Blu-ray and DVD sales pick up from last week, and nearly got Blu-ray over the $40 million mark for the week.

                There were two other new releases, and a couple of re-releases on Ultra HD Blu-ray, that rounded off the week.

                In a very distant second place was Smurfs: The Lost Village (the Smurfs 3 movie collection also got into the top 20, at 19th).

                Amazon original production, The Lost City of Z, finished in 7th place, while Game of Thrones: The Complete Seasons 1-6 got back into the top 20 at 11th thanks to the (then imminent) release of the new season.

                The Ultra HD Blu-ray re-releases comes via King Kong in 12th (the 12th place finish on the Blu-ray sales chart includes all Blu-ray versions, including the standard 1080p version as well as the new 4K version) and The Fifth Element in 14th.

                All of these new releases helped Blu-ray market share jump more than 10% compared to the previous week.

                This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'The Fate of the Furious' and 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' both had UHD editions. Seven titles in the Blu-ray top 10 all 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.

                Being a re-release, 'King Kong' had a gargantuan BD sales share of 85.23%. 'The Lost City of Z' didn't too bad either, second place on the BD sales share chart with 78.00%.

                'The Fate of the Furious' had a BD sales share of 65.37%, which wasn't too bad. 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' failed to get above 50% with 42%.

                As for the UHD sales share, the re-release 'King Kong' topped the UHD BD sales share chart with 62.88%. 'The Fate of the Furious' got a respectable 6.08%, while 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' only got 1%. There were no new notable 3D releases.

                  Top 10:

                  Weekly Blu-ray market share remained above 40%, despite falling revenue for both Blu-ray and DVD, thanks to the release of another A-list title in the form of Kong: Skull Island, which was also the week's top seller.

                  Other than the 'Kong: Skull Island/Godzilla' double pack, which was a Walmart exclusive, that came in at 10th, the other new releases for the week were Resident Evil: Vendetta in 6th and Free Fire in 14th.

                  This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both 'Kong: Skull Island' and 'Resident Evil: Vendetta' were available in Ultra HD Blu-ray. It was almost a clean sweep for UHD in the top 10, with no less than 8 titles in the top 10 all available on Ultra HD Blu-ray.

                  The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                  1. Kong: Skull Island+
                  2. The Fate of the Furious+

                  10. Kong: Skull Island/Godzilla


                  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.

                  'Resident Evil: Vendetta' led the BD sales share chart with a whopping 85.23%. 'Free Fire' was the next best with 58.08%. 'Kong: Skull Island' also got over 50% with 52.70%.

                  With the two UHD releases in the top 20, 'Resident Evil: Vendetta' did extremely well with 18.09%, while 'Kong: Skull Island' didn't do too bad either with 8.89%. The latest King Kong movie was also available on 3D, with a 3D sales share of 3.08%.

                  DVD: $53.11 million
                  'Kong' was up against a real heavyweight in the year-on-year comparison, as this time last year, 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' was released. The "all red" week is understandable, therefore.

                  Blu-ray sales decreased by $11.88m (down 27.2%), while DVD sales decreased by $7.01m (down 13.2%) producing $18.89 million less in combined revenue.

                    Top 10:

                    Blu-ray revenue remained relatively unchanged for the week ending July 29, 2017. The biggest release for the week, an A-list release, was The Boss Baby. It easily outsold the week's second top seller, which was also a new release, Ghost in the Shell.

                    There were 3 other new releases in the top 20, with the best selling being Gifted in 7th place.

                    Just outside of the top 10 was Unforgettable in 13th, Dragon Ball Super: Part One in 14th and then Black Butterfly in 17th.

                    This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both 'The Boss Baby' and 'Ghost in the Shell' were available on Ultra HD Blu-ray (and on 3D as well). Just like last week, 8 titles in the top 10 were available on Ultra HD Blu-ray.

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

                    9. Power Rangers+
                    10. Smurfs: The Lost Village+


                    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.

                    'Ghost in the Shell' led the BD sales share charts with 72.76%, only a whisker above the 72.42% earned by 'Dragon Ball Super: Part One'.

                    'The Boss Baby' managed a respectable and not at all baby sized 55.03% while 'Black Butterfly' got 45.66%.

                    'Gifted' and 'Unforgettable' got 42% and 37% respectively.

                    For the two titles that had both UHD and 3D packages, 'Ghost in the Shell' easily beat 'The Boss Baby' on UHD, with a UHD sales share of 11.37% vs 1%. The same victory was observed for the 3D editions, although by a smaller margin - 'Ghost' beat 'Baby' with 2.58% compared to 0.51%.

                      Blu-ray vs DVD: 34.79% vs 65.21%

                      Top 10:

                      A very quiet week in which the top selling new release only came 5th. That new release was Going in Style. The next two new releases weren't far behind though, with Shin Godzilla and The Circle in 6th and 7th respectively.

                      That was it for the top 10 though. In 16th place, Colossal was also new, and outside of the top 20 (but inside the Blu-ray and DVD top 20) was 'Pure Country: Pure Heart' (a Walmart exclusive) in 9th and The Legend of Ben Hall in 20th.

                      The low popularity of the new releases meant that Blu-ray revenue took a tumble compared to last week.

                      This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: None of the new releases were made available on Ultra HD Blu-ray format. 6 titles in the top 10 were available on Ultra HD Blu-ray.

                      The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                      1. The Boss Baby+
                      2. Ghost in the Shell+
                      3. The Fate of the Furious+
                      4. Kong: Skull Island+
                      5. Going in Style

                      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.

                      'Shin Godzilla' had the best BD sales share of all Blu-ray titles this week, with 80.54%.

                      The next best belonged to 'The Circle', with 45.39%.

                      'Going in Style' got 36%, while 'The Legend of Ben Hall' got 31%. 'Pure Country: Pure Heart' only got 18%, which explains why it didn't make the Blu-ray top 20.

                      None of the previously mentioned new releases had either UHD or 3D editions.

                        Stats:

                        For the week ending August 12, 2017, here are the stats:

                        Percentage of revenue:
                        Blu-ray vs DVD: 34.00% vs 66.00%

                        Blu-ray sales total spending: $22.21 million
                        DVD sales total spending: $43.11 million

                        These stats available from here:

                        Home Media Magazine



                        Top 10:

                        Both Blu-ray and DVD spending dropped slightly compared to the previous week, as a fairly underwhelming release slate took its toll.

                        New release King Arthur: Legend of the Sword was the top seller for the week, easily beating the next new release, the third placed Snatched.

                        The other two releases fell outside of the top 10, with Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul coming in at 11th and Jackie Chan's Kung Fu Yoga at 18th.

                        Outside of the top 20, but within the Blu-ray and DVD top 20, was The Hunter's Prayer at 20th on that chart.

                        As you can see, these were hardly the box office smash hits, and as a result, all the metrics dropped, including weekly Blu-ray market share.

                        This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Both 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' and 'Snatched' were available on UHD, making it 7 out of 10 the number of titles in the top 10 that were also available on Ultra HD Blu-ray.

                        The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                        1. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword+
                        2. The Boss Baby+

                        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.

                        'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' managed to outdo all the other new releases in terms of BD sales share, with a respectable 55.42%.

                        The others all failed to get above 50%, with 'Snatched' at 35%, 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul' at 32% and 'The Hunter's Prayer' at 30%.

                        'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' was also available on 3D and UHD, with its 3D sales share at 1.35% compared to the UHD sales share of 5.75%. 'Snatched' managed a UHD sales share of only 1%.

                          Home Media Magazine



                          Top 10:

                          Thanks to the release of Alien: Covenant, and a few other titles, Blu-ray revenue and market share both rose compared to the previous week.

                          In a very distant third place was the next new release, Hickok.

                          Down in fifth place was The Case for Christ, the next new release and the last one in the top 10.

                          Outside of the top 10 was How to Be a Latin Lover in 13th and Everything, Everything in 14th.

                          Down at the bottom of the chart were another two releases, Once Upon a Time in Venice in 19th and Digimon Adventure tri. - Determination in 20th.

                          That's a lot of new releases!

                          This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Alien: Covenant' and 'Hickok' were both available on Ultra HD Blu-ray, with every Blu-ray copy of the latter including the UHD edition by default. Therefore, 8 out of the top 10 all had Ultra HD Blu-ray editions.

                          The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                          1. Alien: Covenant+
                          2. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword+
                          3. Hickok+

                          7. The Fate of the Furious+

                          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.

                          'Hickok' managed a Blu-ray sales share of 89.67% (and since every Blu-ray copy included the UHD edition, the UHD sales share was the same), and 'Alien: Covenant', managing 73.57%, also did well on Blu-ray.

                          'The Case for Christ' got 42%, while 'How to Be a Latin Lover' wasn't far behind with 41%. 'Once Upon a Time in Venice' got 33% and 'Everything, Everything' got 31%.

                            Stats:

                            For the week ending August 26, 2017, here are the stats:

                            Percentage of revenue:
                            Blu-ray vs DVD: 50.08% vs 49.92%

                            Blu-ray sales total spending: $44.89 million
                            DVD sales total spending: $44.75 million

                            These stats available from here:

                            Home Media Magazine



                            Top 10:

                            It's not often that weekly Blu-ray market share exceeds that of DVD's (meaning more Blu-ray movies were sold in the week compared to DVD only releases), and it usually takes a special release to make that happen. The last time it happened was for Disney's live action remake of 'Beauty and the Beast' (which is still in the top 10, at 10th).

                            This time, it's another Disney title that's responsible. Or rather, it's Disney/Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. It was a huge release, selling nearly 12 times as many copies as the second placed 'Alien: Covenant'.

                            Third place also belonged to a new release, The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season.

                            Being that time of the year (where new box sets gets released in time for the new TV season), 7th place was another TV box set, Ash vs. Evil Dead: Season 2.

                            The box sets continue outside of the top 10, with Daredevil: The Complete Second Season in 16th and Supergirl: The Complete Second Season in 18th.

                            But let's not kid ourselves, this week's great results was all to do with 'Guardians'.

                            This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Of the new releases, only 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' was available on Ultra HD Blu-ray. 6 out of the top 10 all had Ultra HD Blu-ray editions.

                            The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                            1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2+
                            2. Alien: Covenant+
                            3. The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season
                            4. The Boss Baby+
                            5. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword+
                            6. The Fate of the Furious+
                            7. Ash vs. Evil Dead: Season 2
                            8. Kong: Skull Island+
                            9. The Case for Christ
                            10. Beauty and the Beast


                            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.

                            'Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2' absolutely monstered the BD Sales Share chart for the week, with a massive 82.99%.

                            'Ash vs. Evil Dead: Season 2' managed a very impressive (for a TV box set) 67.18%, which is up compared to the first season of the show, which debuted at 64.48%.

                            'The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season' managed 42.35%, which is almost identical to season 6's 42.33%.

                            As for 3D and UHD editions, only 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' had these, and the 3D edition, with a 3D sales share of 3.40%, was a Best Buy exclusive. The UHD edition managed a very respectable 10.48%.

                            Once thing is for sure, 'Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2' is a much bigger release than this time last year's 'The Huntsman: Winter's War'!

                            Blu-ray sales increased by $21.42m (up 91.3%), while DVD sales decreased by $6.98m (down 13.5%) producing $14.44 million more in combined revenue.

                              Stats:

                              For the week ending September 2, 2017, here are the stats:

                              Percentage of revenue:
                              Blu-ray vs DVD: 42.24% vs 57.76%

                              Blu-ray sales total spending: $32.43 million
                              DVD sales total spending: $44.34 million

                              Top 10:

                              There were no big A-list new releases this week, but a big re-release (or is that re-re-re-release?) helped weekly Blu-ray market share to remain at least above 40% for the week.

                              The Lion King: Signature Collection was the re-release mentioned above, and it well enough to earn a second place finish on the Blu-ray sales chart, behind last week's mega hit 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'.

                              Baywatch was the next best selling new release in 3rd place.

                              In fifth place was Batman and Harley Quinn and it was the last new release in the top 10.

                              Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three was in 11th.

                              This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Disney being Disney, The Lion King re-release wasn't available on 4K (yet - we'll have to wait for the re-re-re-re-release). But both 'Baywatch' and 'Batman and Harley Quinn' had 4K editions. 8 out of the top 10 all had Ultra HD Blu-ray editions.

                              The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                              1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2+
                              2. The Lion King: Signature Collection
                              3. Baywatch+
                              4. Alien: Covenant+
                              5. Batman and Harley Quinn+
                              6. The Boss Baby+
                              7. The Fate of the Furious+
                              8. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword+
                              9. Beauty and the Beast
                              10. Kong: Skull Island+

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.

                              'Batman and Harley Quinn' wasn't too far behind with 58.53%, and 'Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three' also managed to get above 50% with 55.68%.

                                Top 10:

                                'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' topped the sales charts again this week, which means that we are once again having a week without a major new release.

                                The best selling new release was Megan Leavey in 4th place, selling way fewer copies than the three titles in front of it.

                                Rough Night in 6th place was the next best selling new release, and then it was all the way down to 10th for the next new release, All Eyez on Me.

                                Not that there were many new releases outside of the top 10 either, with First Kill in 12th being the only one.

                                The state of releases this week meant that Blu-ray revenue fell by quite a bit compared to the last week, and weekly Blu-ray market share dropped too.

                                This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Of this week's new releases, only 'Rough Night' had a UHD edition. 7 out of the top 10 all had Ultra HD Blu-ray editions.

                                The complete top 10 chart is below (new releases in bold, Blu-ray exclusives are denoted by *, UHD releases denoted by +):
                                1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2+
                                2. The Lion King: Signature Collection
                                3. Baywatch+
                                4. Megan Leavey
                                5. Alien: Covenant+
                                6. Rough Night+
                                7. The Boss Baby+
                                8. Kong: Skull Island+
                                9. The Fate of the Furious+
                                10. All Eyez on Me


                                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.

                                None of this week's previously mentioned new releases managed to get a BD sales share of above 50%. The title that came closest was 'Megan Leavey' with 49.04%. 'Rough Night' was a little behind with 45.12%.

                                'First Kill' got 28% and 'All Eyez on Me' got 22%.

                                For the sole ranked UHD release this week, 'Rough Night' had a UHD sales share of 2.91%.
