Both Blu-ray and 4K sales share increased thanks to the release of Disney's hit animated sequel, Moana 2, and a large number of other releases. While "Moana 2" was the top-seller on the combined Blu-ray and 4K sales chart, it was only 4th on the 4K only chart.

Godzilla vs. Biollante was made available on 4K and Blu-ray as part of Criterion's release - it was 3rd on the combined chart, but it was top of the 4K only chart.

Wolf Man was 5th (also 5th on the 4K chart), and The Penguin: Season 1 was 6th (also 6th on the 4K chart).

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 Penguin: Season 1" had a BD sales share of 63.86%. "Moana 2" just managed to break even, with a BD sales share of 50.00%.

"Wolf Man" got 34%, and "Tulsa King: Season Two" only got 17%.

For 4K sales share, "Godzilla vs. Biollante" got a 4K sales share of 72.30%, "The Penguin: Season 1" got 42.46%, "Babygirl" got 28.04%, and "Wolf Man" got 26.26%.

4K and Blu-ray market share fell as new releases dried up for the week. The top-selling new release was the 4K Criterion edition of Thief, which landed itself 10th on the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart (it was 4th on the 4K only chart).

The 4K restoration of Trick or Treat, available in 4K as well as a Blu-ray edition, was 13th (7th on the 4K chart).

The 4K edition of Daylight was tied in 13th place with "Trick or Treat", but it was 5th on the 4K chart.

For 4K sales share, the only title that had both 4K and Blu-ray new releases was "Trick or Treat", which had the 4K sales share of 73.34%.

The combined 4K UHD and Blu-ray market share decreased from 49.2% to 34.5%. The big drop was probably due to this time last year having "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom", "Wish", "The Abyss", "True Lies", "Aliens", "Poor Things" all in the top 10, and this year that being down to a single "Thief".

4K and Blu-ray market share remained relatively steady, despite the availability of a big release. Gladiator II was the best-selling release for the week, easily outselling the recent number one "Wicked". It topped both the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart, as well as the 4K only chart. Only a 4K, 4K SteelBook and a DVD edition was released by Paramount, no standalone Blu-ray edition - this is a combination they've been increasingly happy to use

Third place was also a new release, Red One, and it was 6th on the 4K only chart.

Kraven the Hunter was 4th (the 4K edition didn't sell enough copies to rank in the 4K only chart top 20).

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera was 5th (also 5th on the 4K chart).

The 4K SteelBook release of Akira was 7th (3rd on the 4K chart).

This was it for new releases on both charts.

Both 4K and Blu-ray market share dropped compared to last week, due to the lack of any captivating new releases this week.

The best-selling new release was actually a 4K re-release, the 4K edition of Amadeus - it was 3rd on the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart, and second on the 4K only chart.

Next up was Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy - Complete Season Two, release on Blu-ray only. It was 9th.

The Amazon exclusive 4K SteelBook release of The Forbidden Kingdom was 11th (6th on the 4K chart).

Also on 4K for the first time was Cruising - 20th on the combined chart, 11th on the 4K chart.

Two more new releases on the 4K only chart. The Wal-Mart exclusive 4K SteelBook edition of The Super Mario Bros. Movie was 14th, and Graveyard Shift was re-released on 4K and Blu-ray, and it was 19th.

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: "Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy - Complete Season Two" was the only previously mentioned new release that didn't have a 4K edition. 8 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

For 4K sales share, only "Graveyard Shift" was available on both 4K and Blu-ray, but it did not get into the 4K sales share top 20.

4K market share rose, Blu-ray market share dropped, as the number of new releases has started to increase.

Nosferatu was the top-selling title for the week, easily outselling the last couple of weeks' top seller, "Wicked". It was on top of both the combined 4K and Blu-ray and 4K only charts.

The 20th anniversary edition of Constantine on 4K was 3rd (second on the 4K chart).

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim was 4th (3rd on the 4K chart), just above the 4K SteelBook edition of Panic Room in 5th (also 5th on the 4K chart).

The 4K SteelBook edition of The Social Network was 8th (6th on the 4K chart), and the 4K restoration of Uncle Buck on 4K and Blu-ray was 10th (7th on the 4K chart).

A huge release headlines this week, and this has helped to raise Blu-ray and 4K sales share. Wicked absolutely outsold everything else for the week and rightly led the combined Blu-ray and 4K sales chart as well as the 4K only sales chart.

Finally, the new releases come flooding back in. And as a result, 4K and Blu-ray market share rose to a recent high.

New release Venom: The Last Dance was the top-seller for the week, on both the combined 4K and Blu-ray chart as well as the 4K only chart. The Venom 3-movie collection was also in the top 10, in 7th (while 4K edition was available, it was the expensive limited edition set with an included action figure - it did not rank in the 4K top 20).

Oscar winning The Substance was in a distant second place (selling less than a third as many copies as "Venom: The Last Dance") - it was third on the 4K chart.

Smile 2 was in third place (second on the 4K chart), and typical of recent Paramount releases, it was only available as a 4K, a 4K SteelBook and a DVD edition - no standalone Blu-ray edition again.

The next couple of releases come via Lionsgate and feature both 4K and 4K SteelBook packages. Kill Bill Vol. 1, just ahead of Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Jackie Brown, and they were 4th, 5th, and 6th, respectively, on both charts.

Arrow's release of The Cell on 4K and Blu-ray was 10th (8th on the 4K chart).

Heretic was available on Blu-ray and a 4K edition exclusive to the A24 Shop - it was 14th, and not in the 4K top 20.

Elevation was released on Blu-ray only and was 16th.

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 Substance" had the best BD sales share of this week's new releases, with 68.02%. "Venom: The Last Dance" wasn't too far behind with 61.07%, just ahead of "Smile 2" with 59.75%.

Still pretty quiet, but we have four new releases compared to last week's two, so things are starting to get going again.

The Arrow 4K and Blu-ray limited editions of Inglourious Basterds was the best-selling new release, coming in at 3rd on both the combined 4K/Blu-ray chart, as well as the 4K only chart.

The Amazon Exclusive 4K SteelBook release of Snowpiercer was 6th (second on the 4K chart), and in 18th, the 4K edition of Once Upon a Time in the West was 18th (11th on the 4K chart).

And finally on the 4K only chart, the 4K edition of Chinatown was 16th.

Another quiet week in which we only have two new releases in the top 20s.

The 30th anniversary 4K and 4K SteelBook re-release of Se7en was the top-seller for the week, on both the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart and also the 4K only chart.

The only other release was the Blu-ray edition of Armor in 16th.

The first week of a new year is usually a quiet one in terms of new releases, and this was the case for this week too.

It's so quiet, in fact, there were no new releases in the combined Blu-ray and 4K top 20. There were a couple of new releases in the 4K only top 20 though, and by couple, I mean exactly two, both from Kino Lorber.

The first was the 4K and Blu-ray (4K restoration edition) of Hatari!, which was 14th on the chart, just ahead of the new 4K edition of Snake Eyes in 15th.

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: 9 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

It's the week of Christmas, and this is usually a quiet time for new releases, and this time proved to be no different.

The only new release in the top 20 was the Warner Archive Collection 4K and Blu-ray release of The Searchers - it was 12th on the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart, and third on the 4K only chart.

And this was it. Quiet, as I mentioned.

4K sales share rose off the backs of several new releases, although none that you would consider an A-list release.

The top-selling new release was also the week's overall top seller, Terrifier 3 - it was second on the 4K only chart. Closely behind was Transformers One, which was the actual top-seller on the 4K chart. Interestingly, "Transformers One" skipped having a separate Blu-ray release, with only the 4K and DVD editions available (although the 4K edition does include the Blu-ray version).

The box office bomb Joker: Folie à Deux was 4th on both charts - not really redeeming itself on home release either.

Digimon: Digital Monsters - The Movies 1-3 was 9th - it wasn't made available on 4K.

Demolition Man arrives as an Arrow limited edition release on 4K and Blu-ray, and it was 12th (5th on the 4K chart).

Seinfeld: The Complete Series on 4K and Blu-ray was 18th (12th on the 4K chart).

The first of two Amazon exclusive 4K SteelBook releases was 19th, Kickboxer (10th on the 4K chart). We'll get to the other release shortly.

Rounding off the top 20 was The Mean One on Blu-ray SteelBook was 20th.

Two more new releases on the 4K only chart.

The other Amazon exclusive 4K SteelBook was Stir of Echoes was 16th, while the 4K release of The Holdovers was 19th.

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: Only "The Mean One" and "Digimon: Digital Monsters - The Movies 1-3" didn't have a 4K release or wasn't a 4K exclusive. 9 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD 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.

Of the new releases with separate DVD editions, "Terrifier 3" had the best BD sales share, 73.34%. "Transformers One" was the next best, with 68.63%, just ahead of "Joker: Folie à Deux" with 63.20%.

For 4K sales share for titles with both a separate 4K and Blu-ray or DVD editions, "Demolition Man" had the best result, with 96.98% - they probably shouldn't have bothered with the Blu-ray edition.

"Seinfeld: The Complete Series" had a 4K sales share of 79.58%, while "Transformers One" was the next best at 68.63%. "Terrifier 3" got 48.35%.

"Joker: Folie à Deux" at least did well relatively on 4K, with 34.24%.
