Posted May 5, 2023 03:39 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on April 29th, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Jesus Revolution topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its debut. The faith-based drama about the birth of the Jesus movement of the 1970s was released in February to mixed reviews, but outperformed at the box office, eventually pulling in over $52 million. This week, Jesus Revolution had an HD share of 36%.

Debuting in second place is Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One. The latest DC animated movie featured Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other members of the Justice League being transported to the RWBY world of Remnant in a franchise crossover adventure. This week, Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One sold 77% as many Blu-ray units as Jesus Revolution, with a perfect HD share of 100% and 20% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Dropping to third place is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Cocaine Bear. The horror comedy from director Elizabeth Banks was inspired by a real incident in 1985, where a bear overdosed on cocaine which had been dropped in a forest by drug smugglers. It opened in February to positive reviews and has so far made over $87 million worldwide. This week, Cocaine Bear sold 54% as many Blu-ray units as Jesus Revolution, with an HD share of 34%.

Elsewhere on the charts, Lionsgate's The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), which was released as a Best Buy Exclusive 4K UHD SteelBook this week, came in at No. 6 on the Blu-ray-only chart. 88 Films' Police Story 3: Supercop debuted at No. 7 (and topped the UHD Market Share chart for the week, with over 73% of units sold from the 4K UHD format), while Paramount Home Media Distribution's Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 3 came in at No. 9.
