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.
"Asteroid City" got a BD sales share of 73.90%. "The Machine" got 55.66%. "Nefarious" managed 30.19%.
On 4K, "Babylon 5: The Road Home" got a 4K sales share of 49.28%.
