For the week that ended on November 30th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice remained atop both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its second week. A sequel to
Beetlejuice had languished in development hell for what is, in entertainment terms, an eternity, but it finally crossed over into the land of the living some 36 years later, with director Tim Burton and stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder all returning. When the juice finally shook loose in September 2024,
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice topped the box office with over $111 million, becoming the third biggest film of 2024 so far, behind only
Deadpool & Wolverine and
Inside Out 2. Altogether the film grossed over $294 million domestically and over $451 million worldwide. This week,
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice had an HD share of 53% and 18% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Rising to second place in its sixth week is Walt Disney Home Entertainment and 20th Century Studios'
Deadpool & Wolverine. The 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe smashed box office records when it opened in July 2024, grossing over $636 million domestically and over $1.3 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 to date, behind only
Inside Out 2. This week,
Deadpool & Wolverine sold 66% as many Blu-ray units as
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, with an HD share of 61% and 29% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Dropping to third place in its second week is Toho's
Godzilla: Minus One. Toho's 33rd Godzilla film was a smash hit both in Japan and internationally, grossing over $57 million in the US and Canada and some $116 million worldwide, all on a reported budget of between $10-15 million. The film also went on to win the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, becoming the first non-English-language film to win that award and beating out such Hollywood blockbusters as
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. This week,
Godzilla: Minus One sold 58% as many Blu-ray units as
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, with an HD share of 67% and 28% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.
Elsewhere on the charts, the Criterion Collection's release of
Paper Moon came in at No. 17 on the Blu-ray-only chart (and No. 12 on the UHD Sellers chart), while the label's 4K UHD re-release of
The Shape of Water 4K, which did not get a separate Blu-ray-only release, came in at No. 7 on the UHD Sellers chart. Finally, Shout Factory's
Hush 4k (2016) debuted at No. 18 on the UHD Sellers chart.
