Blu-ray Sales: April 10-17: Wonder Woman 1984 Tops the Charts for a Third Week

Posted April 25, 2021 06:17 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on April 10th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Wonder Woman 1984 topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts for the third week in a row. 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 50%, with 10% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

In second place on both charts is a new release, Screen Media's Willy's Wonderland. The comedy horror film, which stars Nicolas Cage as a drifter who must battle animatronic mascots inside an abandoned entertainment center, was originally supposed to receive a wide theatrical release in October 2020, but that release was scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic and instead the film had a limited theatrical release in February 2021. This week, Willy's Wonderland sold 39% as many units as Wonder Woman 1984, with an HD share of 59%.

Dropping to third 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 17% as many units as Wonder Woman 1984, with an HD share of 43% and 8% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
