For the week ending 26th September 2015, here are the stats:

Percentage of revenue:

Top 10:

Blu-ray revenue and market share both dropped compared to the near record highs of last week, but still remained at a high level (revenue above $30 million and market share above 30%).

The week's top selling title was a new release as well, Pitch Perfect 2. The next highest selling new release was also Pitch Perfect related, the Pitch Perfect Aca-Amazing 2-Movie Collection.

There are only two other new releases in the top 20, The Flash: The Complete First Season and Arrow: The Complete Third Season in 6th and 7th respectively.

Outside of the top 20, Chain of Command finished 18th on the combined Blu-ray and DVD charts.

So while this week's releases aren't in themselves particularly noteworthy, although 'Pitch Perfect 2' is still considered an A-list release, it's these combined with last week's 'Furious 7' that has helped the Blu-ray stats remain healthy for this week.

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

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.

'Pitch Perfect 2' had the best BD sales share out of this week's new releases, with 49.46%, just above the 'Aca-Amazing' two movie box set at 49.12%.

The first season of 'The Flash' did better than the third season of 'Arrow' on Blu-ray, 46.83% versus a still respectable 41.84%.

'Chain of Command' managed only 6%, which explains why it didn't make the Blu-ray top 20.

There were no Blu-ray 3D releases in the top 20 this week.

Top 10:

Not one, but two A-list releases this week and we have the second best set of weekly Blu-ray market share results ever. Weekly Blu-ray revenue wasn't that close to record highs, but it was still a high set of results outside of major shopping events like Black Friday.

The two major releases were Furious 7 and Cinderella. The former was clearly the best seller, selling twice as many copies of 'Cinderella' (which outsold last week's number one, 'Mad Max: Fury Road', by nearly a 9-to-1 ratio).

The new Fast & Furious movie was so popular, that the Fast & Furious Collection was also in the top 10 at 4th (and there were 13th, 19th and 20th place finishes for 'Fast & Furious 6', 'Fast Five' and 'The Fast and the Furious').

Other new releases in the top 10 includes The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season and Love & Mercy in 9th.

Outside of the top 10, we have the Blu-ray exclusive Monkey Kingdom in 11th.

Empire: The Complete First Season finished just outside of the top 20.

So a double hit of box office goodness helped Blu-ray weekly revenue go above $50 million for the first time since April (when 'Interstellar' was released).

'Furious 7' was also the week's top release when it came to BD sales share, with 62.22%. It was closely followed by the 'Fast & Furious Collection' at 60.17% (and there were five other 'Furious' movies in the BD sales share top 20). 'Cinderella' was in third place, with 60.02%.

'Love & Mercy' managed 31.03%, 'The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Eighth Season' got 28.19%.

'Empire: The Complete First Season' had a BD sales share of 19%.

There were no Blu-ray 3D releases in the top 20 this week.

No A-list releases this week, and so Blu-ray revenue and market share dropped back, with market share below 30% again.

The Age of Adaline was the week's best selling new release for the week, but it was only the second most popular Blu-ray title for the week, behind 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

The next new release in the top 10 was actually in 10th, Supernatural: The Complete Tenth Season.

Outside of the top 10, the TV box set releases continues with Gotham: The Complete First Season in 12th, and Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season in 15th.

In between these two box sets was Barbie in Rock ’N Royals in 14th and American Heist, tied in 15th with the new season of Homeland.

Star Wars fever is definitely in the air, with all three Star Wars box sets in the top 10 this week (and possibly in the weeks leading up to episode VII).

'Gotham: The Complete First Season' had the best BD sales share of all the new releases this week, with 49.84%. It's a terrific result for a TV box set, considering the other box sets this week, Homeland and Supernatural managed only 21% and 19% respectively.

The week's top seller, 'The Age of Adaline', didn't do as well, with a BD sales share of only 29.51%. 'American Heist' managed 23.03%, while 'Barbie in Rock ’N Royals' only got 14%.

No Blu-ray 3D releases in the top 20 this week.

Another "all red" week, but it's understandable given that this time last year was the week 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' was released, one of the biggest releases of the year.

Blu-ray sales decreased by $16.85m (down 44%), while DVD sales decreased by $14.95m (down 20.4%) producing $31.8 million less in combined revenue.

We finally have an A-list release in Mad Max: Fury Road and both Blu-ray revenue and market share rose as expected off recent lows. The new Mad Max film was such a boost to Blu-ray that the next best selling new release, in 4th place, was the Blu-ray exclusive Mad Max Anthology.

You then have to go all the way to 10th place for the next new release, Star Wars: Rebels - Complete Season One. There was only one other new release in the top 20, Texas Rising in 11th place.

On the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart, The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Sixth Season finished in 15th place, but failed to sell enough copies on Blu-ray to get into the top 20.

Of this week's new releases, 'Star Wars: Rebels - Complete Season One' had the best BD sales share, with 56.02%. 'Mad Max: Fury Road' wasn't too far behind though, with 55.74%, meaning both titles managed to sell more on Blu-ray than on DVD.

The other titles did less well, with 'Texas Rising' managing 24.86% and 'The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Sixth Season' only getting 18% (up from season five's 17%).

Of this week's top 20 Blu-ray releases, only 'Mad Max: Fury Road' was also available on Blu-ray 3D, with a BD3D sales share of 9.27%.

The run of "all red" weeks has been broken by this week's much improved Blu-ray revenue and market share figures, thanks to the new 'Mad Max' movie being up against this time last year's 'Draft Day'.

Blu-ray sales increased by $6.37m (up 30.7%), while DVD sales decreased by $6.94m (down 10.2%) producing $0.57 million less in combined revenue.

Another near record low for Blu-ray revenue and market share as a top tier new release failed to materialize yet again.

Given that it's that time of the year where TV season box sets gets released, it was appropriate that the week's top selling Blu-ray was The Walking Dead: The Complete Fifth Season boxset.

In third place was the next new release, Aloha.

There were three more new releases in the top 10, including Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Attack of the Legion of Doom!, Big Game and The Runner in 6th, 7th and 8th place respectively.

Skin Trade finished just outside of the top 10, in 11th.

Making the combined Blu-ray and DVD chart, at 19th, but failing to make it into the Blu-ray top 20 was Lila & Eve.

So plenty of new releases, but hardly a collection of what you would call must-have titles.

'Big Game' managed 29.34%, while 'Lila & Eve' got only 16%.

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

Another "all red" week, despite this time last year's best selling new release also being a Walking Dead season boxset. But 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' was still selling well at that time, so it explains the better results from last year.

Another very quiet week and Blu-ray weekly revenue and market share continued to drop, albeit only by a small amount compared to last week.

Unlike last week, this week's number one selling Blu-ray was indeed a new release, the Blu-ray exclusive Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection.

Unfortunately, that was it for new releases in the Blu-ray top 10, and it's all the way down in 13th for the next new release, Once Upon a Time: The Complete Fourth Season. This is the time of the year where TV shows are gearing up for their new seasons, and so there will be lots of TV box sets coming around this time, including The Blacklist: The Complete Second Season in 15th, and NCIS: The Twelfth Season, which failed to make the Blu-ray top 20 despite being 5th in the combined Blu-ray and DVD sales chart.

In 18th place was the last new release in the top 20, Little Boy.

Two others made the combined top 20, but failed to get into the Blu-ray top 20: Vendetta and Strangerland.

Another really poor week for Blu-ray, and if it wasn't for the record low from a couple of weeks back, Blu-ray weekly revenue would have been setting all new kinds of unwanted records this week.

The lack of a top selling new release is again to blame for the week's poor results. The best selling of this week's new releases was Hot Pursuit, but it only managed to get as high as third place on the Blu-ray sales chart.

Further back in 4th place was another new release, Unfriended.

The next new release was in 8th place, Police Story: Lockdown, while in 10th place was the week's last new release (out of the top 20), Northmen: A Viking Saga.

The lack of new releases really didn't help the Blu-ray numbers at all, with weekly Blu-ray market share falling back to just above 25%.

Insurgent, the second movie in the Divergent Trilogy, was the headlining new release for this week and also the week's clear top selling title. It easily outsold last week's number one, 'Home', by a considerable margin.

The release of 'Insurgent', which took more than $130 million at the US box office, helped Blu-ray revenue to rise slightly, and helped Blu-ray market share remain relatively steady compared to last week.

'The Divergent Series Double Feature' pack also managed to sell well, despite being a Walmart exclusive - it got as high as 3rd place on the Blu-ray sales charts.

In 4th place was another new release, Do You Believe?.

Weekly Blu-ray revenue fell again, as weekly market share retreated back to below 30%. The reason for this was simple: there were no new releases in the Blu-ray top 10!

The best selling new release was Wild Horses in 11th place, with Kung Fu Killer the next best in 13th place.

A 17th placed finish for Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery is the only other new release in the top 20.

So a very quiet week in terms of new releases, and Blu-ray revenue dropped back down to lower levels again as expected.

Of this week's new releases, the new edition of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' helped it to earn a BD sales share of 75.08%. 'Ex Machina' also did well, with 56.75%, and 'It Follows' also managed to get above 50% with 50.18%.

The other new releases were still more popular on DVD than on Blu-ray. 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2' managed 34.76%. The week's top seller 'The Longest Ride' only managed a BD sales share of 24%. 'The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' managed 17%.

A nearly "all red" week, with this week's zero new releases in the top 10 up against this time last year's 'Heaven Is for Real', 'Transcendence', 'Sabotage' and 'The Single Moms Club', but this week's higher Blu-ray market share saves the day.

Blu-ray sales decreased by $5.39m (down 20.7%), while DVD sales decreased by $18.2m (down 24.6%) producing $23.59 million less in combined revenue.

I think, "increased" used to be green

Blu-ray and DVD revenue, along with Blu-ray market share, all recovered this week as a half a dozen new releases were made available for the week ending 18th July 2015.

The Longest Ride was the week's best selling new release, and the overall best selling title for the week. The 'Rogue' cut of X-Men: Days of Future Past (which features more than 10 minutes of new footage featuring Anna Paquin's Rogue) was also available, and it did well enough on Blu-ray to take second place. This re-release was, as expected, hugely popular on Blu-ray, helping Blu-ray market share to rise to above 30% again this week.

This week's new releases also includes Ex Machina in 3rd place; Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 in 4th and It Follows in 5th.

The only other new release in the top 20 was The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, in 14th place.

These new releases, along with the week not having a major holiday, helped Blu-ray revenue and market share rise.

Finally an end to the streak of 'all red' weeks, with rising Blu-ray revenue this week finally stopping the worrying trend.

Blu-ray sales increased by $0.97m (up 3.6%), while DVD sales decreased by $6.27m (down 9%) producing $5.3 million less in combined revenue.

The week ending the 11th of July had the unfortunate distinction of having the lowest weekly Blu-ray revenue figures since September 2010. Weekly Blu-ray market share was also at a low, the lowest since August 2013. As you might guess from the poor set of results has largely to do with the poor release slate for the week.

The best selling new release of the week was Maggie, which only managed to get as high as second place on the Blu-ray top 10 ('Get Hard' retained the number one spot).

The next new release, Woman in Gold, was in 6th.

Then it's out of the top 10 for the next set of new releases. House of Cards: The Complete Third Season was in 17th, while Monster High: Scaris, City of Frights was in 19th.

As you can see, hardly a stellar line-up of new releases, although you would still expect Blu-ray revenue and market to be higher now than in 2010 and 2013.

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

'Maggie' had the best BD sales share for the week, with 35.32%. 'House of Cards: The Complete Third Season' managed 23%, with 'Woman in Gold' managing 21%.

'Monster High: Scaris, City of Frights' was further behind with only 13%.

Again, there were no new notable 3D releases this week.

This time last year, it was also a record low (the lowest Blu-ray revenue since August 2012), but this year was even worse - the available releases at the time have a lot to do with it (and the record low comes around the July 4th holiday, which always have an effect on sales), but you would still expect Blu-ray revenue to be a bit higher than in 2010!

Blu-ray sales decreased by $1.86m (down 9.7%), while DVD sales decreased by $2.86m (down 4.7%) producing $4.72 million less in combined revenue.

Blu-ray's market share decreased from 24.00% to 23.04%.
