Blu-ray Sales: October 31-November 7: My Hero Academia Makes the Grade Again

Posted November 13, 2020 03:24 AM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on November 7th, FUNimation Entertainment's My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising again took the top spot on the Blu-ray-only sales charts for the second week in a row. The anime film is one of the few new releases on the charts, only now being released on home video following a limited theatrical release in December 2019 which saw it pull in over $13 million. Released only as a Blu-ray combo pack, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising had a perfect HD share of 100%.

In second place, and moving up 56 spots on the charts overall is Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Joker. The dark comic book tale directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix debuted in January this year, just weeks before the actor took home the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the titular villain. Joker sold 87% as many units as My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, with an HD market share of 86%, of which 63% came from the UHD BD edition.

Finally, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's 1917 moved up eight spots and claimed the number three spot on the Blu-ray-only charts. The World War II drama from Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes was originally released in March and topped the Blu-ray charts back then, while this week, it rose 23 spots and managed to once again top the overall packaged media chart. 1917 sold 81% as many units as My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, with an HD market share of 77%, of which 34% came from the UHD BD edition.
