For the average price, Alien on that list is probably mostly sale of the new 4K release ? https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2019/04/22/alien-4k-blu-ray-review-perfect-organism/#220abc0d7a05 - new Alien 4,623 -2% 208,678 $69,281 $3,127,874 1,373 69 K with 4,600 unit is a $15 average for 4K unit, does seem to fit it: https://www.amazon.com/Alien-4K-UHD-Blu-ray/dp/B07MWNJ58N $16.80 on Amazon and it was still selling some regular bluray that week to average the price down I imagine ? The ridiculous average price seem on the newer title, is the issue the unit amount or the gross sales numbers ? Maybe they do not handle pre-sales going throught correctly. For example Pet Sematary has under $9 a unit average, for a movie still playing in theater not released yet on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Sematary-2019-Jason-Clarke/dp/B07Q6HNT1H/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Pet+Sematary&qid=1557339778&s=movies-tv&sr=1-3 Making it feel like they do count some sort of pre-sales or if some promotion when you buy a ticket give you a copy of the movie or something ? If so maybe a lot of sales for new title are processed by the units yet to be shipped and counted ? Or the numbers are now all non-sense generated by an poor AI. I'm going with nonsense. Pet Semetary might be for the old 80s version The 4k avg price for Alien makes no sense They might be blindly grabbing the highest price, like they have before with people re-selling their Steel Books for profit. Otherwise I have no idea what's going on. Edited May 8, 2019 by TalismanRing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 4k version is $16-17 a combined with the regular bluray week sales of $15 seem logical, considering that if a new release is made of an old movie get out, sales will mostly be the special edition. Quote AQM units for a first week sale also look low for the B.O. the movie did. But then so did AIW which according to Disney had their highest sales on Digital. So maybe AQM also over indexed on digital v BR. Superheroes do weak on physical media sales and worst on rental according to the annual mpaa report, relative to their box office: https://www.mpaa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/MPAA-THEME-Report-2017_Final.pdf Only one SH in the top 5 at 5 with guardian 2, just one in the top 25 in rentals at the bottom https://www.mpaa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/MPAA-THEME-Report-2018.pdf Black panther did well, but Inifinity war just at 5, Wonder Woman at 25. It is a bit surprising one would thought perfect collectible and should dominate physical sales They do much better on EST, for Marvel they were quite famously available on Netflix, their audience is possibly quite on the lot of new technological side, etc....
