Blu-ray Sales, May 27-June 2: The Last Stand Remains on Top

Posted June 5, 2013 09:53 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on June 2nd, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's The Last Stand remained in the number one spot on the Blu-ray-only chart. The Arnold Schwarzenegger thriller has performed strongly on home media following a slightly disappointing box-office run (it garnered a Metacritic score of 54% and a worldwide box-office gross of $37 million on top of its $45 million budget). The Last Stand had a Blu-ray market share of 41%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only rankings was Anchor Bay's release of Dark Skies. This sci-fi-horror film netted the Weinstein Company a modest profit after it premiered in February; the $3.5-million picture grossed over $23 million worldwide. Dark Skies had a Blu-ray market share of 30%, and it sold 80% as many HD units as The Last Stand. When taking into consideration total package media units, Dark Skies actually came out ahead of The Last Stand - there, The Last Stand was in second place and sold 92% as many total units as Dark Skies.

Finally, Paramount Home Media Distribution's Star Trek re-emerged on the Blu-ray-only list at third place, a condition bolstered by the current box-office performance of its sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness. Star Trek had a 57% HD market share and sold 66% as many Blu-rays as The Last Stand, though it ranked far lower - at number sixteen - on the overall package media list. The third position on that grouping fell to Parker, the Jason Statham actioner that scored a 43% Metacritic grade and a domestic box-office gross of just over $17 million. Parker drew a Blu-ray market share of 27% and moved 88% as many total units as The Last Stand.
