Blu-ray Sales: May 26-June 1: Dune: Part Two Holds Off Kung-Fu Panda 4 in Third Week

For the week that ended on June 1st, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Dune: Part Two remained atop both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its third week. With 2021 predecessor Dune actually being Dune: Part One, the second part was greenlit as soon as that film proved to be a box office hit in October 2021. Both parts ended up overcoming challenges--Dune: Part One had to contend with a simultaneous release to streaming and theaters, while Dune: Part Two found itself delayed by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes of 2023, ultimately moving from November 2023 to March 2024. However, like its predecessor, Dune: Part Two opened to critical acclaim and box office success, grossing over $282 million domestically and over $711 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far. This week, Dune: Part Two had an HD share of 68% and 28% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Debuting in second place on the Blu-ray-only chart is Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Kung Fu Panda 4. The latest installment of the DreamWorks Animation series opened in March 2024 to positive reviews and box office success. Its opening weekend of over $57 million was the best for a DreamWorks animated title since Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted in 2012. The film eventually made over $193 million domestically and over $543 million worldwide, on a slimmed-down budget of just $85 million. This week, Kung Fu Panda 4 sold 28% as many Blu-ray units as Dune: Part Two, with an HD share of 60% and 19% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And debuting in third place on the Blu-ray-only chart is Paramount Home media Distribution's Bob Marley: One Love. The biopic of the legendary reggae musician opened in February 2024 to mixed reviews, but audiences responded, with the film topping the box office for its first two weeks (before Dune: Part Two opened in its third week) and eventually grossing over $96 million domestically and over $179 million worldwide. This week, Bob Marley: One Love sold 18% as many Blu-ray units as Dune: Part Two, with an HD share of 51% and 22% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Elsewhere on the charts, Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Arthur the King debuted at No. 7 on the Blu-ray-only chart, while outside the top ten, Lionsgate's Knox Goes Away debuted at No. 14 and the Criterion Collection's Anatomy of a Fall debuted at No. 20.

Outside the top ten on the UHD Sellers chart, Discotek Media's Belladonna of Sadness 4K came in at No. 17, while Arrow Video's Crimson Peak 4K came in at No. 18.
