Blu-ray Sales: August 30-September 5: The Mandalorian and Grogu Avoid the Infected in Second Week

Posted September 14, 2026 02:30 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on September 5th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment's Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu topped the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts for the second week in a row. The latest Star Wars feature opened in May 2026 to mixed reviews and disappointing box office, with a domestic total of over $177 million and a global haul of just over $345 million, the lowest gross of any live-action film in the space opera franchise. This week, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu had an HD share of 63% and 29% of units sold from the 4K UHD format, enough to again make it the week's top 4K UHD release.

Coming in second place on the Blu-ray-only and 4K UHD charts is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's 28 Days Later. Danny Boyle's high-quality, low-resolution film about a rage virus infecting Britain was originally released on Blu-ray by 20th Century Fox back in 2007. Now under Sony, their 4K UHD release sports a new 4K master with Dolby Vision HDR (approved by Danny Boyle) and the choice of a new Dolby Atmos remix or original DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio options, as well as legacy extras. This week, 28 Days Later sold 43% as many Blu-ray units as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, with a perfect HD share of 100% and 100% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Remaining in third place in its fourth week is Alliance Entertainment's Project Hail Mary. The adaptation of Andy Weir's novel of the same name opened in March 2026 to critical acclaim and financial success, topping the box office for its first two weeks en route to over $344 million domestically and over $685 million globally. This week, Project Hail Mary sold 42% as many Blu-ray units as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, with an HD share of 64% and 24% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Elsewhere on the charts, Radiance Films' 4K UHD upgrade of The Hot Spot 4K came in at No. 11 on the 4K UHD chart.
