Top 10:

Both Blu-ray and DVD revenue rose again, with Blu-ray revenue's rise most likely related to the release of Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season, while DVD's rise may have something to do with the release of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.

There were four more releases in the top 20, starting with Sisters in 5th place. A little bit behind in 6th place was The Big Short.

Brooklyn was the next new release in 11th place. In 13th place was Carol.

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). 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.

'Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season' and 'The Big Short' had the best BD sales shares of the week, with 59.74% and 56.47% respectively.

'Sisters' managed 42.48%, which was respectable for a comedy.

'Carol' managed 35.95%, with 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip' getting 34.91%. 'Brooklyn' failed to reach the BD sales top 20 with "only" 31%.

None of these new releases were available on Blu-ray 3D or Ultra HD Blu-ray.

Both Blu-ray and DVD revenue rose compared to the previous week as the release of The Peanuts Movie helped sales go upwards for the week.

It was one of four new releases in the top 20, with the next most popular new release being In the Heart of the Sea in 4th.

Down in 10th place was Victor Frankenstein, while Open Season: Scared Silly in 13th place rounded out the new releases in the top 20.

While all disc revenue rose, Blu-ray did a bit better than DVD, and so weekly Blu-ray market share rose too as a result.

This week is also a bit special, as we have the first bit of data on Ultra HD Blu-ray disc sales, more details in the 'Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray Sales Share' section below.

Top 10:

Disc revenue and Blu-ray market share all fell this week, despite no less than six new releases in the top 20.

The most popular of these new releases, and this week's top seller overall, was Creed.

In third place was the next new release, The Night Before.

Room in 7th and Legend in 9th rounded off the new releases in the top 10.

Outside of the top 10, Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Cosmic Clash and Barbie: Spy Squad finished 15th and 16th respectively.

There were one more notable release outside of the top 20, The Danish Girl, which finished 20th on the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart.

So plenty of new releases, but none that you would call A-list, hence the lacklustre set of results.

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

'The Night Before' managed 39.82%, just slightly ahead of 'Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Cosmic Clash' with 38.87%. 'Room' wasn't too far behind either, with 38.10%.

As for the other new releases, 'The Danish Girl' had 35%, while 'Barbie: Spy Squad' got 20%.

None of this week's mentioned new releases were available on Blu-ray 3D.

Another "all red" week, but again understandable given that box office hit 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' was this time last year's top seller.

The Good Dinosaur was the best of this week's new release, and the week's top seller on Blu-ray. The release of this latest Pixar animated film helped Blu-ray revenue rise compared to last week's results (DVD revenue was up too, but not as much as Blu-ray, and so weekly Blu-ray market share rose as a result).

There were a few other new releases in the top 20 as well. The next best selling was the Oscar Best Picture winning film Spotlight, in 3rd place.

Further down in 7th place was the next new release, the 2015 English remake of Secret in Their Eyes.

Outside of the top 10, Extraction was in 12th place along with My All-American in 19th place.

Diablo finished 14th place on the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart, but failed to get into the Blu-ray top 20.

'Secret in Their Eyes' got 33%, while 'Extraction', 'My All-American ' and 'Diablo' got 29%, 27% and 19% respectively.

Following last week's first "all red" week for 2016, we have the second one straight away. But that's totally understandable because this time last year, 'Big Hero 6' was the standout release (and one of the biggest releases in 2016).

Blu-ray sales decreased by $21.24m (down 37.7%), while DVD sales decreased by $23.49m (down 24.7%) producing $44.73 million less in combined revenue.

Top 10:

Just like last week, we only have three new releases in the top 20. But unlike last week, none of them were 'Spectre', and so Blu-ray and DVD revenue both dropped compared to last week.

The best selling new release this week was Black Mass, but it only sold enough copies to be the second best selling Blu-ray title of the week (behind, you guessed it, 'Spectre').

Steve Jobs was the next best selling new release in 7th place.

Outside of the top 10, The 33 was in 14th, while further outside the top 20, we had Criminal Activities which finished 15th on the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart.

A big A-list release this week in the new James Bond movie Spectre, and it helped to raise both Blu-ray and DVD revenue. DVD revenue actually rose a bit more than Blu-ray, which meant Blu-weekly Blu-ray market share dropped slightly compared to last week.

It was only one of three new releases in the Blu-ray top 20 this week (which shows once again that it's not quantity, but quality) - Crimson Peak in 5th place and Love the Coopers in 16th were the only other new releases.

But it was 'Spectre' that really made the difference, with the highest weekly DVD revenue figures for 2016 being recorded this week.

'Love the Coopers' didn't do as well as the other two, with only 26%.

The week's top seller was kind of a new release, the recent re-release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on Blu-ray again (the new Signature Edition features the same video and audio transfer as the previously released Diamond Edition, but has a different set of supplements). Despite it being a re-release, it still managed to easily outsell the next best new release, The Last Witch Hunter, in second place. As an interesting side note, 'The Last Witch Hunter' will also be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray at the beginning of March.

There was another new release in 3rd place, Spielberg's Bridge of Spies.

The next new release was in 5th place - Batman: Bad Blood, with the last of the new releases (in the top 20) being Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo 9th place.

Outside of the top 20, we have Our Brand Is Crisis which managed to get as high as 14th on the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart.

With DVD revenue remaining virtually unchanged from the week before, but Blu-ray revenue rising, Blu-rat market share rose as a result, mostly helped by the Blu-ray exclusive re-release of Snow White.

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 Martian' led the BD sales share chart for the week, with a BD sales percentage of 59.24%. 'Hotel Transylvania 2' also managed to break through the 50% barrier, with 51.54%.

'Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimensio' got 43.88%, followed by 'Sinister 2' with 40.01%. 'Sherlock: The Abominable Bride' managed 26%.

As for Blu-ray 3D releases, both 'The Martian' and 'Hotel Transylvania 2' were available on 3D, with BD3D sales shares of 9.64% and 5.15% respectively.

There were 6 new releases in the top 20, but Blu-ray revenue and market share both shrank as the holiday sales are truly over.

Sicario was the week's best selling new release, and best selling overall DVD and Blu-ray title.

In fourth place, after the two obligatory Star Wars entries (Original and Prequel boxsets) was the next new release, The Visit. Another two places down, selling behind yet another Star Wars title (Complete Saga boxset) was The Walk in 7th place.

The rest of the new releases fell outside the top 10. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser were in 14th and 15th respectively. The Green Inferno finished in 20th place.

Top 10:

We now have one foot tentatively into 2016, and both Blu-ray and DVD revenue fell, although both fell at around the same level meaning Blu-ray market share remained relatively steady, near 38%.

In terms of new releases, we have a few, but the first week of 2016 was hardly a spectacular week. The best selling new release, Hitman: Agent 47, only managed a 4th place finish on the Blu-ray top 20 chart. Star Wars fever is obvious from the chart, as 3 of the top 5 titles, including the top 2, were all Star Wars titles.

The next new release was at 10th place. The Perfect Guy actually did much better on DVD than on Blu-ray, and was second on the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart.

Outside of the top 10, we have A Walk in the Woods in 12th place and Bone Tomahawk in 16th.

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

The last full week of 2015 became the best week of 2015, as holiday spending helped not only Blu-ray spending, but also DVD spending rise compared to the already good week that was last week.

New releases, as is often the case during this time of the year, was light on the ground, with only one new release in the top 10, and another in the top 20.

War Room got as high as 4th place, while critically panned Pan (pun intended) was panned by Blu-ray buyers too, coming only as high as 12th place.

That was it for new releases in the top 20, but recent releases, and some popular older ones (Star Wars!), helped Blu-ray revenue stay above $100 million for one more week.

Look out for our 2015 Blu-ray sales results review coming in the next week or two.
