Blu-ray Sales: October 25-31: Masters of the Universe Not Frightened by Frankenstein

Posted November 9, 2026 03:22 PM by Sean Greenwood

For the week that ended on October 31st, Alliance Entertainment's Masters of the Universe (2026) remained atop the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its second week. The second live-action film featuring Mattel's He-Man opened in June 2026 to mixed reviews and poor box office, grossing less than $65 million domestically and less than $114 million worldwide, against a reported budget of between $170-200 million. Happily, things are looking better on the home video front, where this week, Masters of the Universe had an HD share of 68% and 42% of units sold from the 4K UHD format, enough to make it the week's top 4K UHD release.

Debuting in second place on all charts is the Criterion Collection's release of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025). The latest version of Mary Shelley's horror classic enjoyed a limited theatrical release in October 2025 and garnered positive reviews, as well as nine Oscar nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for Jacob Elordi and Best Picture. Criterion's home video release contains the theatrical version of the film, as well as an extended director's "Reborn Cut", both with Dolby Atmos audio, Dolby Vision HDR on the 4K UHD discs, audio commentary with del Toro on the Reborn Cut and a plethora of video extras spread over two Blu-rays. This week, Frankenstein sold 58% as many Blu-ray units as Masters of the Universe, with an HD share of 83% and 64% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Coming in third place on all charts is The Frighteners. Originally released on Blu-ray by Universal in 2011, this week saw the film released on remastered Blu-ray and 4K UHD by Arrow Video, with both its theatrical and director's cuts (with Dolby Vision HDR on the 4K UHD edition), the film's legendary 225-minute making of documentary and even a recent feature-length retrospective, amongst other extras. This week, The Frighteners sold 40% as many Blu-ray units as Masters of the Universe, with an HD share of 98% and 90% of units sold from the 4K UHD format.

Elsewhere on the Blu-ray-only chart, Discotek Media's Blu-ray for anime series The Big O: The Complete Paradigm (1999-2003) came in at No. 15, while Arrow's Blu-ray box set for Enter the Video Store: Video Vengeance (1987-1993) came in at No. 17.
