For the week that ended on February 10th, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's
Trolls Band Together rose one spot to top both the the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its fourth week. The family film sequel finds main characters Branch and Poppy on a mission to rescue Branch's brother Floyd, who has been kidnapped. The film opened in November 2023 to mixed reviews and just managed to crack $100 million at the domestic box office, with its $205 million global haul considerably better than the pandemic-impacted 2020 release of
Trolls World Tour, but still significantly less than the $347 million gross of the original
Trolls in 2016. This week,
Trolls Band Together had an HD share of 54%, with 5% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Rising back into the top three in its twelfth week is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's
Oppenheimer (2023). Based on the book
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (2005),
Oppenheimer displays many of director Christopher Nolan's characteristic traits, notably the use of celluloid film, especially large formats like 65mm and IMAX film, the latter of which was used not just in color sequences, but in black-and-white footage, too. To that end,
Oppenheimer also became the first feature since
Tenet to receive a release on massive IMAX 70mm film prints as well as standard 70mm and 35mm film prints for theaters which still had the capability to project film. As Nolan is a major proponent of the theatrical experience,
Oppenheimer also enjoyed an extended run in cinemas, grossing some $950 million worldwide. On January 23rd, 2024, the film received 13 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography, amongst many others. This week,
Oppenheimer sold 85% as many Blu-ray units as
Trolls Band Together, with an HD share of 66% and 36% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
And dropping to third place on both charts in its second week is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's
Thanksgiving (2023). The horror film from Eli Roth is based on his "fake trailer" of the same name first seen in
Grindhouse (2007) and opened the Friday before the holiday in November 2023. The film received generally positive reviews and grossed over $31 million domestically and over $46 million worldwide, where in some markets, such as Spain, the film was re-titled
Black Friday. This week,
Thanksgiving sold 59% as many Blu-ray units as
Trolls Band Together, with an HD share of 52%.
