Blu-ray Sales: April 24-April 30: Spider-Man: No Way Home Still on Top in Third Week

Posted May 8, 2022 07:07 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on April 30th, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's Spider-Man: No Way Home again topped the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts. The third film in Sony's latest Spider-Man franchise picks up immediately from its predecessor, with Peter Parker having been outed as Spider-Man. In desperation, Peter turns to Doctor Strange to try and find a way to make the public forget his identity, but Strange's spell rips open the multiverse and allows enemies from alternate realities to wreak havoc. Opening in December 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home heralded a return to the cinema for much of the world after almost two years of worldwide pandemic that saw many people stay out of the cinema since March 2020. With marketing that teased appearances from characters in previous Sony Spider-Man film series, fan excitement was at a fever pitch. Topping the box office in its opening weekend with an incredible $260 million and receiving critical acclaim, Spider-Man: No Way Home went on to make over $804 million at the domestic box office alone and almost $1.9 billion worldwide so far, proving that with the right material at the right time, people will get out to their theaters to enjoy the big screen experience. This week, Spider-Man: No Way Home had an HD share of 66% and 17% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Debuting in second place on both charts is Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Moonfall. Roland Emmerich's latest disaster film opened in February to negative reviews and made only about 1/3 of its estimated $140 million-plus budget back at the box office. However, the director's films tend to do well on home video, as the first week sales for Moonfall demonstrate. This week, Moonfall sold 40% as many Blu-ray units as Spider-Man: No Way Home, with an HD share of 58% and 36% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And making a surprising appearance in third place on the Blu-ray-only chart is a Blu-ray double feature of Moonfall / Knowing (2009-2022), which is apparently exclusive to Walmart. This week, the Moonfall / Knowing double feature sold 16% as many Blu-ray units as Spider-Man: No Way Home, with a perfect HD share of 100% Although both films are available separately on 4K UHD, this bundle appears to be available only on Blu-ray.

Elsewhere on the charts, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's new 4K UHD edition of Singin' in the Rain propelled the film to the No. 7 position on the Blu-ray chart and easily topped the UHD market share chart for the week, with 77% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
