Top 20:
Cyber Monday is here. Blu-ray sales remained above $20 million, although unlike last week, it was a very quiet one for new releases.
The best-selling new release was the 4K SteelBook edition of WandaVision, which was 4th on the combined 4K and Blu-ray chart (second on the 4K only chart).
A Haunting in Venice was the only other new release in the combined top 20, in 11th (it wasn't made available on 4K).
The Naked Gun made the 4K chart, but not the combined top 20, and it was 13th.
Comparing this Cyber Monday with the last, Blu-ray revenue rose 7.7%, although at least a large chunk of this, if not all of it, is due to the popularity of this and last week's number one, Oppenheimer.
This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: All of this week's previously mentioned new releases had 4K editions or were 4K only releases. Again, every single title out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions!

- Oppenheimer+

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.
Both "WandaVision" and "The Naked Gun" are 4K only releases, so no BD sales share or 4K share sales are applicable. "A Haunting in Venice" got a BD sales share of 49%.
