Posted September 18, 2020 04:12 PM by Josh Katz

For the week that ended on September 12th, Warner Home Entertainment's Superman: Man of Tomorrow took at the number-one spot on the Blu-ray-only and overall package-media sales charts. This latest superhero adventure from Warner and DC Animated, Man of Tomorrow pairs Superman alongside the antihero Lobo as the two take on the vicious Parasite. This week, Superman: Man of Tomorrow had a great HD market share of 100%.

Next up on the Blu-ray-only sales ranking was another animated title: Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. One of the most influential animes ever made - the film has inspired the likes of James Cameron and the Wachowski sisters - this 1995 sci-fi thriller has now received a new 4K transfer from Lionsgate. Ghost in the Shell had a terrific Blu-ray market share of 99% and sold 38% as many Blu-rays as Superman: Man of Tomorrow. On the overall package-media chart, the film came in tenth place; there, Shout Factory's True History of the Kelly Gang took second place and sold 56% as many total units as Superman.

Finally, Lionsgate's Rob Zombie Trilogy rounded out the top three on the Blu-ray-only sales list. A Target exclusive, the steelbook Rob Zombie Trilogy bundles together the three cinematic exploits of the Firefly family: House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and 3 from Hell. The Rob Zombie Trilogy sold 32% as many Blu-rays as Superman.
