Blu-ray Sales: October 24-31: My Hero Academia Rises to the Top

Posted November 7, 2020 06:13 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on October 31st, FUNimation Entertainment's My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising took the top spot on the Blu-ray-only sales charts. The anime film made over $13 million in a limited theatrical release in December 2019, but is only now making its way to home video. My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising had a perfect HD share of 100%.

Coming in at number two on the Blu-ray charts is Universal Studios Home Entertainment's Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy. The beloved action comedy series was recently remastered and released by Universal over several Blu-ray editions, including, for the first time, a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release. In its second week of release, Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy had an HD market share of 83% and an impressive 46% of units sold were in the UHD Blu-ray format.

Finally, in third place over Halloween is--what else?--Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Hocus Pocus. The 1993 family horror comedy has rampaged up and down the charts all month and it became one of the latest catalog films to receive a 4K UHD upgrade from Disney earlier this year. Hocus Pocus sold 22% as many units as My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, with an HD market share of 20%, of which 5% came from the UHD format.
