Top 20:

The top 20 was full of new releases, mostly 4K releases, and it was no surprise that 4K sales share and Blu-ray sales share both rose.

The 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch was the top-seller for the week, but only on the combined Blu-ray and 4K sales charts - it was third on the 4K only chart.

Karate Kid: Legends was second on both charts, while the 6-movie box set, The Karate Kid Ultimate 6-Movie Collection, an Amazon 4K exclusive, was 15th (10th on the 4K chart).

The 4K release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was 5th, but top of the 4K only chart. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was 8th (6th on the 4K chart).

The 50th anniversary 4K edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail was 6th (4th on the 4K chart).

The King of Kings was 9th - no 4K edition was available, and then we have another 4K re-release in 10th for The Conjuring.

Outside of the top 10, City on Fire is another 4K re-release, in 11th (9th on the 4K chart). The Amazon exclusive 4K edition of But I’m a Cheerleader was 14th (11th on the 4K chart).

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.

"Lilo & Stitch" had a BD sales share of 54.44%, and it was the best of this week's new releases that had separate 4K/Blu-ray and DVD editions. "Karate Kid: Legends" got 48.09%. "The King of Kings" wasn't too far behind with 43.36%.

It's Prime Day week, where DVD, Blu-ray and 4K discs go on sale en masse. It's why the likes of "Nosferatu", "The Thing", "The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy", "Blade Runner 2049", "Akira" and "Oppenheimer" are back in the top 20.

This doesn't mean there weren't new releases, though.

The quite amazing Sinners was the week's top-seller (on both the combined Blu-ray and 4K chart, as well as the 4K only chart), easily outselling everything else this week.

The stats for the week ending July 13, 2024 are as follows.

Percentage of Units Sold:
UHD: 19.7%
Blu-ray: 34.5%
DVD: 45.8%

The combined 4K UHD and Blu-ray market share increased slightly from 54.2% to 65.4%. Comparing this year's Prime Day sale event to last year's (which actually happened a week after the week of July 13), it looks like 4K was the winner, taking sales share away from Blu-ray and DVD. DVD's decline isn't surprising, given this year is DVD's 30 year (!) anniversary.

Both 4K and Blu-ray market share dropped back - both because of a smaller slate of new releases and also because this week included the 4th of July holiday.

The best-selling new release was Warfare, which was second on the combined 4K and Blu-ray list, and top of the 4K sales chart. No DVD edition was made available for this title.

Then it was all the way down to 13th for the next new release, the Criterion 4K and Blu-ray releases of The Big Heat (it was 9th on the 4K chart).

Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut on 4K was the last of the new releases, in 20th (13th on the 4K chart).

And that was it for new releases.

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: All three of this week's new releases had 4K editions. Every single title out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions!

The complete Blu-ray 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:

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.

There was nothing to report on the BD sales chart since none of the new releases had DVD editions. For the 4K sales chart, "Warfare" got 78.93%, only a nose ahead of "The Big Heat" at 78.59%.

4K sales share made a recovery this week, thanks to the release of a big movie: A Minecraft Movie. It outsold everything else for the week - including the second-placed The Monkey by a 3-to-1 margin. "A Minecraft Movie" was also top of the 4K only chart ("The Monkey" was 7th).

2025's much-maligned remake of Snow White (trailer) was third on the combined chart (9th on the 4K chart).

The action classic Lethal Weapon arrives on 4K and was 4th (2nd on the 4K chart).

Novocaine (trailer) arrives on 4K and DVD, without a standalone Blu-ray only edition (although there is an Amazon exclusive 4K SteelBook edition too) and it was 5th (3rd on the 4K chart).

Arrow's re-release of Dark City on 4K and Blu-ray was 6th (4th on the 4K chart). Criterion also gives Sorcerer the 4K and Blu-ray re-release treatment - it was 8th (6th on the 4K chart).

The 4K SteelBook release of Longlegs (trailer) was 10th (8th on the 4K chart). There was also a SteelBook release for Sonic Prime: The Complete Series, but on Blu-ray only, and it was 13th.

Doctor Who: Season One was 16th (it wasn't available on 4K), and finally, the 25th anniversary 4K re-release of Bring It On was 18th (14th on the 4K chart).

Two more new releases were in the 4K only chart top 20. The 4K release of Road Trip was 16th, while High Society being released on 4K and Blu-ray as part of the Warner Archive Collection, was 17th.

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: "Sonic Prime - The Complete Series" and "Doctor Who: Season One" were the two titles without 4K releases. Every single title out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions!

Blu-ray and 4K market share remained largely unchanged this week, despite not having many new releases.
