Blu-ray Sales: June 27-July 3: Godzilla vs. Kong Remains on Top in Third Week

Posted July 9, 2021 06:25 AM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on July 3rd, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Godzilla vs. Kong came out on top again on both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media 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 58%, with 13% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Remaining 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 50% as many units as Godzilla vs. Kong, with an HD share of 53% and 13% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And again 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 37% as many units as Godzilla vs. Kong, with an HD share of 76%.

But a bright spot--or really a sweet spot--this week belongs to Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which saw a brand new 4K UHD release just in time for the film's 50th anniversary. That new 4K disc accounted for 78% of all units sold.
