fmpro Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Like it was on the DVD sales chart, there were three new releases to top the Blu-ray sales chart, although they finished in a slightly different order. Moneyball still led the way with 467,000 units / $9.74 million giving it an opening week Blu-ray share of 44%, which is excellent for a drama. The Killer Elite finished second on Blu-ray, one place higher than its DVD debut, with 242,000 units / $4.85 million. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 53%. This is better than average for the format, and it is even strong for an action film. Boardwalk Empire: Season One opened in second place in terms of dollars with $4.92 million, but third in terms of units with 141,000. TV on DVD releases tend to struggle on high definition, but this film earned an opening week Blu-ray share of 38%, which is better than a lot of theatrical releases earn. Rise of the Planet of the Apes returned to the top five in fourth place with 124,000 units / $2.55 million for the week and totals of 1.79 million / $38.30 million after five. The Hangover II fell to fifth place with 111,000 units / $1.57 million for the week. After six weeks of release, the film has sold 1.87 million units and generated $30.97 million in sales.The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption opened in ninth place, one place higher than it did on DVD, and it was stronger than expected on DVD. It sold 61,000 units generating $1.29 million in sales for an opening week Blu-ray share of 37%. That's about average for the format. Normally visual effects laden films perform better than average, but this was also a Direct-to-DVD release, which tends to hurt the Blu-ray share. What's Your Number? just missed the top ten with 57,000 units / $1.11 million. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 29%, which is actually really good for the genre.The overall Blu-ray market bounced back this week thanks to several stronger than expected new releases. Compared to last week, it soared 34% in terms of units and 45% in terms of dollars. Compared to last year it was up 64% in terms of units and 73% in terms of dollars. Surprisingly, DVD sales also did well compared to last week and last year, albeit not as well as Blu-ray did. The overall Blu-ray share hit 37% in terms of units and 42% in terms of dollars, which is significantly better than last year.Next week we will likely see Blu-ray slip significantly, as the biggest release is Ides of March, a political drama. It's just not the type of film that does well on high definition. Last year, Takers led the way on DVD and Blu-ray. Normally I would be cautious, but with the success of the new releases this week, I think Blu-ray should be fine next week.Taken from the-numbers Edited January 25, 2012 by fmpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) From The-Numbers.com January is typically a really bad month for the home market, and it is usually even worse for Blu-ray. Not only are there not many hits coming out, but those that are being released tend to be films that are better suited to DVD than Blu-ray (middling hits, dramas, etc.). This is certainly the case with this week's new releases. Leading the way on the Blu-ray sales chart was Ides of March, a political drama, with 116,000 units / $2.08 million. Its opening Blu-ray share was 39%, which is better than expected for the genre. Moneyball was in second place in terms of units with 109,000 units, but led the way in terms of dollars with $2.50 million. After two weeks of release, the film has sold 576,000 units and generated $12.24 million in total. Abduction was next with 83,000 units / $1.65 million, giving it an opening week Blu-ray average of just under 30%. Action films should do better, so this suggests the film's main audience was Twilight fangirls. Courageous opened in first place on DVD, but only managed fourth place on Blu-ray with 72,000 units / $1.48 million. An opening Blu-ray share of just 16% is bad, even for the genre. The Killer Elite remained in the top five with 54,000 units / $1.27 million for the week, lifting its totals to 297,000 units / $6.12 million after two. No other new releases charted. The overall Blu-ray market slumped when compared to last week and last year. Compared to last week, it was down 57% in terms of units and 53% in terms of dollars. Its decline compared to last year was not as strong, but it still fell a distressing 15% in terms of units and 5% in terms of dollars. DVD sales held on better than Blu-ray compared to last week, but worse compared to last year. The overall Blu-ray share slipped to hit 29% in terms of units and 35% in terms of dollars, which is barely better than last year's numbers. Next week should be better with the release of Paranormal Activity 3 and Real Steel, among others. However, Red led last year's DVD sales chart with more than 1 million units and the Blu-ray sales chart with 660,000 units. I don't think any of this year's releases will match that.

fmpro Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) From the-numbers.com There was no competition on the Blu-ray sales chart, as Real Steel topped all new releases and holdovers by a healthy margin. It sold 799,000 units and generated $22.36 million in sales giving it an opening week Blu-ray share of 54%. Hopefully we will see a lot more films crack 50% as the winter blockbusters start to come out. Paranormal Activity 3 opened in a distant second place with 202,000 units / $4.03 million. It hasn't been released on DVD yet, so obviously it has a 100% Blu-ray share. 50/50 opened in third place, just as it did on DVD, as it sold 133,000 units earning $2.40 million. The film's opening week Blu-ray share was 45%, which is incredibly strong for a non-action film. If its share was 10 percentage points lower it would have still been a good start. Moneyball fell from second to fourth with 81,000 units / $1.97 million. After three weeks of release, it has sold 665,000 units and generated $14.40 million in Blu-ray sales, which is strong for this genre. The Lion King returned to the chart in fifth place with 48,000 units / $1.09 million for the week. After four months of release, the film has sold 3.7 million units and generated $98 million in sales. It's very rare for a catalog title to reach $100 million in total Blu-ray sales, so this is fantastic. The only other new release to chart was Transformers Trilogy Box Set with 24,000 units / $949,000. The overall Blu-ray market rocketed back to life this week growing week-over-week by 97% in terms of units and 102% in terms of dollars. It also grew compared to last year, albeit by smaller margins of 9% in terms of units and 26% in terms of dollars. DVD sales were not as fortunate falling a little bit from last week and substantially compared to last year. This helped the overall Blu-ray share climb to 44% in terms of units and 53% in terms of dollars, which is a huge improvement over last week and last year. Next week there are a number of Blu-ray releases, but mostly for films that disappointed at the box office. Transformers: Dark of the Moon does have a 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack, but I'm unsure how well that will sell. Last year's best selling DVD was Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2, but the best selling Blu-ray was Red, which repeated on top with just 172,000 units. Hopefully we can beat that.

fmpro Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 New releases dominated the Blu-ray sales chart with as many as four in the top five. (Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a bit of an odd case, but more on that in a second.) Drive led the way with 420,000 units / $8.39 million giving it an opening week Blu-ray share of 57%. This is a great opening compared to the film's theatrical run. In Time also did better on Blu-ray than it did on DVD earning second place with 306,000 units / $6.12 million for an opening week Blu-ray share of 54%. This is the type of film that should thrive on Blu-ray, so it is no real surprise it cracked 50%. Transformers: Dark of the Moon returned to the chart in third place with 190,000 units / $3.82 million for the week giving it a total of 3.19 million units / $68.03 million. It was able to get back into the top five thanks to the release of the 3D Box Set, but we don't have a breakdown between the new release and the previous Blu-ray release. Real Steel fell from first to fourth with 187,000 units / $5.24 million for the week giving it totals of 989,000 units / $27.69 million after two. The Thing rounded out the top five with 168,000 units / $4.03 million, which was 55% of total units sold. Its theatrical run and its home market debut is weak, but that Blu-ray share is strong.Treasure Buddies just missed the top five with 105,000 units / $2.66 million. Its opening Blu-ray share was 22%, which is low for the format as a whole, but strong for a live action kids' movie. Dream House managed ninth place, which is what it earn on the DVD sales chart as well. It sold 55,000 unit while generating $1.25 million in opening week sales giving it a Blu-ray share of just 38%. I was expecting more. To Kill a Mockingbird made its Blu-ray debut in tenth place with 43,000 units / $782,000. This is excellent for a catalog title and the studio should be very happy. Star Trek: The Next Generation also made its Blu-ray debut this week with The Next Level, which was right behind at 43,000 units / $648,000. This is excellent for a TV on DVD release, especially one that is this old and is merely a taste of future releases. The Big Year was further back in 14th place with 38,000 units / $894,000. Its hard to spin this number in a positive fashion, but its Blu-ray share of 31% is better than average for the genre. Finally, we get to The Double in 19th place with 26,000 units / $394,000. It also earned a Blu-ray share of 31%, but action films should perform better than that.The overall Blu-ray was strong compared to last week and last year. It grew 16% in terms of units and 3% in terms of revenue from last week, which is actually a little weaker than DVD sales grew from last week. However, its growth was more explosive when compared to last year up 79% in terms of units and 78% in terms of dollars. As usual, DVD sales were lower than last year, albeit by a more modest margin than we've seen in the recent past. The overall Blu-ray share was mostly steady compared to last week sitting at 44% in terms of units and 49% in terms of revenue. If it can maintain that level while we wait for the winter blockbusters to come out, I will be very happy.Next week we have good news / bad news. The good news is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 comes out. The bad news is, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 comes out. While the film should sell a lot of DVDs, I don't think its Blu-ray share will be great. Plus, it doesn't come out till Saturday, so only the first two days will count towards this week. On a more positive note, last year's new releases were terrible, both on DVD and on Blu-ray. In fact, the number one selling Blu-ray was Paranormal Activity 2 at just over 100,000 units. Breaking Dawn, Part 1 should top that. Hell, A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas could top that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
