Blu-ray Sales: February 13-20: Greenland Tops the Charts Again

Posted February 26, 2021 12:20 AM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on February 20th, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Greenland topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts for the second week in a row. The disaster film, about a massive "planet killer" comet on a collision course with Earth, stars Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin and was originally planned for a theatrical release last year. Ultimately, however, a US theatrical release didn't happen because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the film only opened in select international territories, with a VOD release in the US in December 2020. Still, the film managed a highly respectable $47 million at the global box office, and received positive reviews. This week, Greenland had an HD share of 46%.

Remaining in second place on both charts is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Freaky. The horror comedy, starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton put a new spin on Freaky Friday as a serial killer ends up switching bodies with a teenage girl. Universal was able to release the film theatrically back in October 2020, where it grossed $9 million domestically and so far, just over $15 million worldwide. This week, Freaky sold 32% as many units as Greenland, with an HD share of 45%.

Coming in third on the Blu-ray chart is a new release, Well Go USA's The Swordsman.The film, which our reviewer Jeffrey Kauffman likened. to a period version of Taken transplanted to South Korea, opened theatrically in its home country last September and was promptly announced for US Blu-ray back in December 2020. This week, The Swordsman sold 29% as many units as Greenland and had an impressive HD share of 70%.
