Top 20:

A relatively subdued week in terms of new releases, so while the top 2 were all new, they weren't exactly box office hits.

Over the Garden Wall: The Complete Series was released on Blu-ray only and was the top seller for the week. Mercy was second, and top of the 4K only chart.

Then it was all the way down to 12th for the next new release, the 4K SteelBook release of The Deer Hunter (it was second on the 4K chart).

Carlito’s Way was also available as a 4K SteelBook - it was 14th (5th on the 4K chart).

And finally, V/H/S/Halloween was 15th (no 4K edition was released).

This week's 4K Ultra HD report: "Over the Garden Wall: The Complete Series" and "V/H/S/Halloween" didn't have a 4K edition. 6 titles out of this week's top 10 had UHD editions.

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.

"Mercy" had a BD sales share of 47.31%, while "V/H/S/Halloween" had a BD sales share of 39%.

For 4K sales share, "Mercy" had a 4K sales share of 16.81%.

Top 20:

UHD sales share rose as sales helped titles, including older titles, get back into the top 20.

There were still a few new releases, like the Criterion 4K and Blu-ray editions of Monty Python’s Life of Brian, in 4th place - it was 4th on the 4K only chart as well.

Then it was all the way down in 15th for the next new release, the 4K release of The Phantom (it was 13th on the 4K only chart).

That was it for new releases, though.

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

Neither of the two new releases had separate DVD editions, so there's nothing to report in terms of BD sales share. Monty Python’s Life of Brian did have a separate 4K and Blu-ray edition, and so it had a 4K sales share of 88.67%.
