Posted April 9, 2021 09:57 AM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on April 3rd, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Wonder Woman 1984 topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts. The sequel to 2017's smash hit Wonder Woman had been intended to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic changed those plans. After moving the film's theatrical release date multiple times, Warner eventually decided to release the film on Christmas Day 2020, with a simultaneous release on their HBO Max streaming platform. Despite everything, the film earned over $45 million at the domestic box office. This week, Wonder Woman 1984 had an HD share of 62%, with 16% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Dropping to second place on both charts is Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Soul. The latest film from Pixar Animation Studios, Soul had its domestic theatrical release cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it still managed to make over $118 million in select international territories. The film won also won two Golden Globes and has three Oscar nominations. This week, Soul sold 15% as many units as Wonder Woman 1984, with an HD share of 47% and 9% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

In third place on both charts is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's News of the World. Paul Greengrass' Western stars Tom Hanks as a Civil War veteran who is enlisted to deliver a girl back to her family after she had been captured by the Kiowa tribe many years ago. The film opened on Christmas Day in the US only and has grossed over $12 million at the box office. This week, News of the World sold 12% as many units as Wonder Woman 1984, with an HD share of 41% and 6% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And a special note this week: With the Easter holiday, Cecil B. De Mille's epic 1956 film The Ten Commandments found itself at No. 5 on both charts, buoyed by a new 4K Blu-ray release, which accounted for 50% of all units sold.
