Blu-ray Sales: February 9-15: Wicked Not Playing Cat and Mouse in Second Week

Posted February 24, 2025 05:50 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on February 15th, it's déjà vu all over again as Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Wicked (2024) remained atop both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its second week. The hotly anticipated film adaptation of the hit 2003 musical, which in turn was based on a 1995 novel that "re-imagined" The Wizard of Oz, opened in November 2024 over the Thanksgiving holiday to success with critics and audiences alike, topping the box office on its first weekend with over $112 million, en route to over $472 million domestically and over $728 million globally so far. Upon opening, the film was revealed to adapt only part of the story, and a sequel, Wicked: For Good, is set to release November 2025. The film has also earned numerous awards and nominations, including the second Golden Globe Award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement (following Barbie in 2024), seven nominations and two wins at the BAFTA Awards, Best Film from the National Board of Review and ten nominations at the upcoming Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande, Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo and Best Picture. This week, Wicked had an HD share of 57%, with 18% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Remaining in second place in its fourth week is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's Venom: The Last Dance. The third and apparently final entry in Sony's Venom franchise opened in October 2024 to mixed reviews and box office success, topping the box office on its opening weekend en route to over $139 million domestically and over $478 million worldwide. This week, Venom: The Last Dance sold 21% as many Blu-ray units as Wicked, with an HD share of 55% and 22% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

And remaining in third place in its fourth week is MUBI's The Substance. The body horror film starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley has been a critical success ever since it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. The film also won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Demi Moore and has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Actress for Moore, Best Director for Coralie Fargeat and Best Picture. This week, The Substance sold 12% as many Blu-ray units as Wicked, with an HD share of 65% and 39% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Elsewhere on the charts, Warner Bros Home Entertainment's Tom and Jerry: The Complete CinemaScope Collection (1954-1958) from the Warner Archive Collection, came in at No. 9 on the Blu-ray-only chart, while outside the top ten, Viz Media's Sailor Moon: Three-Film Collection (1993-1995) came in at No. 12. Finally, Paramount Home Media Distribution's Pretty in Pink, which was released on 4K UHD this week, came in at No. 16.

Elsewhere on the UHD Sellers chart, Shout Factory's John Carpenter's Vampires 4K and Paramount's Pretty in Pink 4K came in at Nos. 9 and 10, while outside the top ten, Warner's The Nice Guys 4K came in at No. 12. Shout's Ghosts of Mars 4K and The Last Voyage of the Demeter 4K tied for No. 13.
