There wasn’t much week to week movement for the week ending January 24th, with a Blu-ray market share of 13% and a $19.46M revenue, according to Home Media Magazine.
Gamer from Lionsgate took 1st place in the sales chart, with Inglourious Basterds from Universal surprisingly in 2nd place.
Star Trek from Paramount, The Hangover from Warner and The Hurt Locker from Summit rounded out the top five.
The smaller studios continued to do well with Pandorum from Anchor Bay in 6th place and Weeds: Season Five from Lionsgate in 7th position.
New release Whiteout from Warner took 9th, while the new DVD combo versions of The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Ultimatum from Universal took 10th and 11th places, with The Bourne Supremacy in 13th.
Warner’s The Invention of Lying featuring Ricky Gervais was in 15th place and Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball from Universal was the last new release tomake the chart in 19th position.
Looking at per title market share, the top selling DVD titles Gamer and The Hangover took 31% and 27% on Blu-ray Disc respectively while family title Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs from Sony Pictures sold only 13% on Blu-ray Disc this week.
The Hurt Locker sells well on Blu-ray with 31%, and Inglourious Basterds sold more Blu-ray Discs than DVDs for the week.
Pandorum had a 32% Blu-ray Disc market share while I Can Do Bad All By Myself from Lionsgate had only 6%.
The Invention of Lying and Whiteout took in a respectable 17% and 26% for Blu-ray Disc.
Both Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Star Trek sold more Blu-rays than DVDs this week also, with Trek getting close to 2 Blu-rays for every DVD sold with 62%.
While I don’t doubt that promotional pricing is at play here, it is great to see so many titles breaking the 50% level for the week.
