Blu-ray Sales: May 30-June 5: Raya and the Last Dragon Tops the Charts a Third Time

Posted June 10, 2021 10:43 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on June 5th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Raya and the Last Dragon topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts for the third week in a row. 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 55%, with 11% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Remaining in second place on both charts in its third week is 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 39% as many units as Raya and the Last Dragon, with an HD share of 40%.

Remaining in third place on the Blu-ray chart this week is Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Chaos Walking. Originally shot in 2017, the action film starring Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland suffered significant delays owing to the need for re-shoots, which could not be completed until 2019. Then the film's early 2021 release was delayed again slightly, because of the coronavirus pandemic. Eventually, the film made it to a theatrical release in March 2021 that saw it record a take of just over $13 million domestically and over $22 million worldwide, which, when judged against its reported budget of $100 million (including $15 million for the reshoots) makes the film a box office flop. This week, Chaos Walking, sold 30% as many units as Raya and the Last Dragon, with an HD share of 50% and 13% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

The only new release that cracked the top ten this week was another Lionsgate release, The Courier (2020), which debuted at No. 6 on the Blu-ray chart, with a solid HD share of 52%.
