For the week that ended on July 16th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore roared back into the top spot on the Blu-ray-only chart. The third film in the
Fantastic Beasts film series and eleventh in the Wizarding World franchise opened in April 2022 to mixed reviews. Although it topped the box office in its opening weekend with some $42 million and an eventual haul of over $95 million domestically and $405 million globally, those totals are the lowest for any film in the Wizarding World franchise, with the caveat that the film was delayed several times and opened during the coronavirus pandemic. This week,
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore had an HD share of 57% and 11% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Dropping to second place on the Blu-ray-only chart is Lionsgate Home Entertainment's
Everything Everywhere All At Once. The comedy-drama starring Michelle Yeoh opened in March 2022 and received a wide release in April, where it went on to receive high critical praise and become distributor A24's highest-grossing film thus far, with over $68 million domestically and over $95 million worldwide. This week,
Everything Everywhere All At Once sold 90% as many Blu-ray units as
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, with an HD share of 79% and 33% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
And returning to the top three of the Blu-ray-only chart is Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's
The Batman. One of many films featuring the iconic DC Comics character to be produced in the last two decades,
The Batman serves to reboot the character's solo adventure films, this time in his early years of crime fighting, when he must team up with Lieutenant Jim Gordon to solve a series of murders being committed by The Riddler. Released in March 2022 after being delayed from 2021 thanks to the coronavirus pandemic,
The Batman received critical acclaim and grossed over $134 million on its domestic opening weekend. So far, the film has grossed over $770 million worldwide, becoming the the third-highest-grossing film of 2022, behind only
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and
Top Gun: Maverick. This week,
The Batman sold 76% as many Blu-ray units as
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, with an HD share of 83% and 63% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Elsewhere on the charts, the Criterion Collection's re-release of
Raging Bull brought that film back into the top ten at No. 5, with an HD share of over 99% and 87% of units sold from the 4K UHD format. Meanwhile, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's
The Beatles: Get Back was the top new release, landing at No. 7 on the Blu-ray chart, with an HD share of 66%.
