Blu-ray and 4K sales share increased quite a bit compared to recent weeks thanks to a big week of new releases. This is one of the best results for Blu-ray and 4K compared to DVD.
Headlining the new releases this week was Dune: Part Two - it was the clear top-seller for the week, outselling the number two title on the combined 4K and Blu-ray chart by more than a 17-to-1 margin. Even the 2-film boxset ranked in the top 10, Dune 2-Film Collection was 6th (5th on the 4K chart). Even the first film got back into the top 10, in a high second place.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space was third (second on the 4K only chart). Imaginary was 4th (it wasn't made available on 4K).
The 4K re-release of Once Upon a Time in the West was 5th (3rd on the 4K chart).
American Sniper gets a 4K and 4K SteelBook re-release, and it was 10th, and it was the last of the new releases in the top 20, of both charts.
This week's 4K Ultra HD report: Only "Imaginary" didn't have a 4K edition. 9 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

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.
"Dune: Part Two", the "Dune 2-Film Collection", and "Imaginary" all had DVD editions, and they had BD sales shares of 83.25%, 47.68%, and 62.85%.
For 4K sales share, "Dune: Part Two" managed 50.47% and the "Dune 2-Film Collection" got 31.39%. The former result is quite a significant result, where 4K becomes the most dominant disc format for a major release, selling more than half of all copies of the films sold on disc.
