Top 10:

A very quiet week for new releases, but a relatively big selling week because it's the Cyber Monday sales week.

The one and only new release in the top 20 actually did well on Blu-ray, getting to the top of the Blu-ray sales chart quite easily. Game of Thrones: The Complete Eighth Season was that new release.

Comparing this Cyber Monday with the last one - Blu-ray sales dropped slightly ($47m to $43m), while DVD sales remained largely steady ($57m to $56m). Unit sales for both Blu-ray and DVD were actually up, suggesting that discounting is what caused the overall revenue drop.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Game of Thrones: The Complete Eighth Season' was available on 4K, the first for a GoT season release I think. 9 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

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

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, and Ultra HD 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.

For the week's sole new release, 'GoT: S8', it managed a BD sales share of 52.60% and a UHD sales share of 10.00% - all quite respectable for a season box set.

Top 10:

Blu-ray and DVD revenue continued to drop from the highs set by Black Friday despite the release of three titles that did quite well at the box office for their respective genres.

It: Chapter Two was the week's top-selling new release and overall top-seller, although it was only slightly ahead of the number two top-seller (and new release also), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The Best Buy 4K exclusive 'It: 2-Film Collection' also sold enough copies to get into the top 20, at 14th place.

The only other new release in the top 20 was Hustlers, getting a 7th place finish.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: Amazingly, all four new releases in the top 20 were available on 4K (or exclusively on 4K). Every single title in this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

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

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, and Ultra HD 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.

Out of this week's new releases, it was actually 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' that had the best BD sales share, with 72.38%. 'It: Chapter Two' got 62.59%, while 'Hustlers' managed to get 52.15%.

For the 4K editions, 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' was again on top with an amazing UHD sales share of 21.34% (more than 1 in 5 people opted for the 4K edition over the standard Blu-ray or DVD editions!), followed by 'It: Chapter Two' with 14.72% and 'Hustlers' with 7.31%.

Despite the three relatively big releases this week, it was another "all red" week in which all the metrics below were worse off than compared to the same week a year ago (which incidentally was the week 'The Equalizer 2', 'Smallfoot' and 'Peppermint' were released, hardly huge sellers, to be honest).

Top 10:

There were five new releases in the top 10, and the holiday sales period all helped to bring Blu-ray revenue over $50 million again.

The best-selling of the new releases was Rambo: Last Blood, narrowly outselling Downton Abbey: The Motion Picture, which incidentally was the top seller on DVD ahead of 'Rambo'.

Abominable got 3rd, while Ad Astra was in 6th place.

And finally in 8th was Overcomer.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Rambo: Last Blood', 'Abominable' and 'Ad Astra' all had UHD editions. 8 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

For the 4K editions, 'Ad Astra' once again led the way with a UHD sales share of 18.43%. 'Rambo: Last Blood' got 13.09% and 'Abominable' got 4%.

Top 10:

The last full week of 2019 yielded no new releases in the top 20, but sales were still relatively strong thanks to some pre-Christmas shopping and post-Christmas bargain hunting. In fact, the make up of the top 10 is exactly the same as last week, with the order only slightly different.

Compared to the same week last year, DVD sales dropped slightly, but Blu-ray sales had a bigger drop. This seems to a trend, especially for the second half of the year and suggests something a little bit more concerning - that DVD sales have largely bottomed out, but Blu-ray sales have just started the slide.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 8 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

With no new releases in the top 20, there's not much to mention in this section. 'Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi' was the best title in terms of BD sales share, while 'John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum' had the best UHD sales share.

Top 10:

The first week of 2020 has been a quiet one from a Blu-ray and DVD sales perspective, as is the case every start of a new year, but with Blu-ray sales slipping below $20 million and Blu-ray market share almost dropping below 40%, it's definitely one of the quietest January weeks on record (see below for a comparison with the same week from a year ago).

Not a single new release was present in the top 20 again, which might account for some of the below-par results.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 8 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

Another all red week. It seems to suggest that Blu-ray and DVD sales have slowed down this year compared to the last one. While this may be true, the fact that there were actually two new releases in the top 10, 'Night School' and 'Bad Times at the El Royale', may have something to do with it too.

Blu-ray sales decreased by $7.9m (down 29.5%), with unit sales down 30.2%.

Top 10:

Ford v Ferrari was the top-selling new release, and the overall top seller, for the week ending February 15, 2020.

Interestingly, this was the only new release in the top 20, but 'Ford v Ferrari' was good enough to help Blu-ray revenue rise above $20 million after last week's low.

This week's Ultra HD Blu-ray report: 'Ford v Ferrari' did get a UHD release. 7 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

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

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, and Ultra HD 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.

'Ford v Ferrari' had a BD sales share of 68.45%, with a quite impressive UHD sales share of 23.93%.

An "all red" week in which every metric below was worse off than when compared to the same week a year ago. At that time, 'Creed II' was released, and obviously we also didn't have a major disease outbreak to contend with. Going forwards, it will be interesting to see what kind of effect the current crisis has on disc sales - with most sales happening online these days and with many people stuck at home with nothing to do, perhaps sales might even go up!

Blu-ray sales decreased by $8.13m (down 25.4%), with unit sales down 24.4%.
