Hopefully these numbers will bounce back once the summer blockbusters hit the home market. The overall Blu-ray sunk even further to just 23% in terms of units and 31% in terms of revenue. Compared to last year, there were 20% fewer units sold, while the total revenue was 11% lower. Compared to the previous week, 16% fewer units were sold in total, 22% less revenue was generated, and the final figures were just 544,000 units / $12.08 million. The best-selling new release on Blu-ray was An American Girl: Saige Paints the Sky, and it didn't even reach the top ten. Home Market Numbers: Home Market Really is DespicableĪs I mentioned last week, the new releases were terrible, so it is not a surprise that the overall home market numbers were so poor the week of July 7th. (One could argue it is more a matter of quantity over quality.) Leading the way was Tyler Perry's Temptation, which sold 401,000 units and generated $2.97 million in revenue. This includes five films in the top six, which is impressive. There were a ton of new releases to reach the top 30 of the July 14th, 2013 edition of the DVD sales chart. It sold 103,000 units and generated $2.38 million for an opening week Blu-ray share of 42%, which isn't bad for a film with a decidedly weak box run. Granted, in both cases, new releases dominated, but unlike on DVD, The Host led the way on Blu-ray. The week of July 14th, 2013 was a bit strange on the home market, as the Blu-ray sales chart and the DVD sales chart didn't line up very well. 12 Years a Slave led the way with seven nominations, but it wasn't the only film to pick up multiple nominations.īlu-ray Sales: A Whole Host of New Releases Independent Spirit Award started the Awards Season this week, handing out its nominations.
