Blu-ray Sales: June 20-26: Godzilla vs. Kong Still King of the Charts

Posted July 1, 2021 10:11 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on June 26th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Godzilla vs. Kong smashed its way to the top of both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts, ending the four week reign of Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Raya and the Last Dragon, which slipped on both charts. The long-awaited action showdown brought escapist fun to a formerly desolate theatrical marketplace and made over $100 million at the domestic box office on its way to over $442 million worldwide. To that end, when it came time for the film's home video release, Warner obliged fans with a bevy of format options, including a Blu-ray 3D edition. This week, Godzilla vs. Kong had an HD share of 60%, with 15% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Debuting in second place on both charts this week is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Nobody. The action film stars Bob Odenkirk as a seemingly ordinary man who becomes the victim of a home invasion, which triggers a buried past life of rage and violence in him. The film was originally to be released in the summer of 2020, but was delayed several times due to the pandemic. It finally opened in March 2021 topping the box office in its first weekend and receiving positive reviews. This week, Nobody sold 57.3% as many units as Godzilla vs. Kong, with an HD share of 65% and 17% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

In third place on the Blu-ray chart is Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Batman: The Long Halloween - Part One. The latest DC Comics animated adventure is the first of a two-part adaptation of the celebrated graphic novel Batman: The Long Halloween, in which Batman, Jim Gordon and Harvey Dent must team up to stop a killer who murders on holidays. This week, Batman: The Long Halloween - Part One sold 56.6% as many units as Godzilla vs. Kong, with an HD share of 100%, as a retailer-exclusive DVD edition was apparently not tracked.
