Posted November 4, 2022 05:03 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on October 29th, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Nope topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its debut. The third feature from director Jordan Peele after Get Out and Us centers on a family-run horse ranch in California where strange things are happening in the skies above. Nope opened in July to positive reviews and topped the box office on its opening weekend with over $44 million, on its way to a domestic total of over $123 million and a global total of over $170 million. This week, Nope had a fantastic HD share of 75% and 43% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Dropping down to second place on both charts in its second week is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's Bullet Train. The action comedy from David Leitch saw Brad Pitt star as a former assassin who must retrieve a briefcase from a Japanese bullet train boarded by several shady characters. Released in August, Bullet Train received mixed reviews but topped the box office with over $30 million in its opening weekend. So far, it has a global total of over $239 million. This week, Bullet Train sold 63% as many Blu-ray units as Nope, with an HD share of 55% and 19% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And dropping to third place on both charts is Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Thor: Love and Thunder. The fourth film for the Asgardian god of thunder is the 29th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and also featured the return of Portman as Jane Porter. Shot in Sydney Australia in 2021, Thor: Love and Thunder opened in July 2022 to mixed reviews, but still managed to top the box office in its opening weekend with over $144 million. So far, the film has grossed over $343 million domestically and over $760 million globally, making it currently the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2022. This week, Thor: Love and Thunder sold 27% as many Blu-ray units as Nope, with an HD share of 55% and 19% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Elsewhere on the charts, Sony's The Invitation (2022) debuted at No. 5 on the Blu-ray-only chart, with an HD share of 56%, while Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), part of the Warner Archive Collection or remastered classics on Blu-ray, came in at No. 7 on the Blu-ray-only chart, with an HD share of 99.56%.
