For the week that ended on May 22nd, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Raya and the Last Dragon topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts. The first film for Walt Disney Animation Studios since 2018, Raya and the Last Dragon was set for a theatrical release last year, but the pandemic pushed it to March 2021. Nevertheless, it topped the box office in its first three weeks, eventually bringing in over $45 million domestically and over $107 million so far globally. Disney's home media releases also included Best Buy Exclusive SteelBook and Target Exclusive Digipack editions. This week, Raya and the Last Dragon had an HD share of 70%, with 13% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

In second place on both charts is another new release, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Tom and Jerry: The Movie. The film, a live-action animation hybrid, is the second feature for the famous cat and mouse duo from Hanna-Barbera and did see its release date shift somewhat due to the pandemic. When it did open in February 2021, it topped the box office in its first weekend, on its way to making over $45 million at the domestic box office and over $111 million worldwide. This week, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, sold 22% as many units as Raya and the Last Dragon, with an HD share of 41%.

Dropping to third place on both charts in its second week is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's The Marksman. The latest Liam Neeson action vehicle sees him star as a rancher and former Marine who must protect a young boy from a drug cartel and this week it topped the overall disc sales chart. The film received a theatrical release in January 2021 and topped the box office for two weeks, on its way to over $15 million at the domestic box office and over $22 million worldwide. This week, The Marksman, sold 9% as many units as Raya and the Last Dragon, with an HD share of 43%.

Other bright spots this week include Best Picture nominees Minari and The Father coming in at No. 8 and No. 27 on the Blu-ray chart, respectively, and with a new 4K UHD release on offer this week, National Lampoon's Animal House was the No. 9 Blu-ray, with over 99% of of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
