2012 Blu-ray Weekly Sales Reports & Discussion of Results by Title (1 Viewer)

Blu-ray Sales: Puss Rises Above Tower
Like it did on the DVD Sales Chart, Puss in Boots opened on first place on the Blu-ray sales chart. It sold 571,000 units generating $15.99 million in sales, and that's just from Friday through Sunday. Its opening Blu-ray share was 40%, which is excellent for a kid's movie.
Tower Heist opened in second place with 255,000 units / $5.10 million giving it a Blu-ray share of 39%, which is merely good, but not great.
Lady and the Tramp slipped a spot to third with 207,000 units / $5.22 million over the week giving it a total of 1.38 million units / $34.46 million after three. This is an excellent run for a catalog title.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 fell from first to fourth with 154,000 units / $3.55 million for the week giving it totals of 1.40 million units / $32.13 million after three. It is performing much better on DVD.
J. Edgar opened in fifth place with 69,000 units / $1.73 million. Its opening week Blu-ray share was just 18%, which is low even for a drama.
Weeds: Season Seven opened in sixth place with 46,000 units / $921,000, which was enough for an opening Blu-ray share of 27%. This is better than most TV on DVD earn.
The rest of the new releases were well back with The Son of No One opening in 15th place with just 22,000 units / $410,000. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 46%, which is surprisingly high.
Downton Abbey: Season One placed 24th with 11,000 units / $244,000. The Way only manged 26th place with 9,000 units / $178,000. It is a limited release and a drama, so it wasn't a prime Blu-ray release, but an opening week share of 14% is soft.
Overall Blu-ray sales rebounded this week up 54% in terms of units and 65% in terms of dollars when compared to last week. It was also higher compared to last year, albeit with gains of 8% / 30%.
DVD sales were essentially flat versus last week, while it was down versus last year, as has usually been the case for a long, long time. The overall Blu-ray share rose to 35% in terms of units and 45% in terms of dollars, which is a solid number all things considered. (There were no visually intensive Blu-ray Blockbusters, for instance.)
Next week new releases include Hugo and mostly nothing else. Puss in Boots might lead the way during its first full week of release. This is bad. Granted, last year's DVD sales were not super strong, but Bambi made its Blu-ray debut and sold more than 1 million units. I don't see 2012 matching that.

DVD Sales: Boots Snatches Top Spot
Puss in Boots opened in top spot on the DVD Sales Chart despite coming out on Friday instead of Tuesday. Over the weekend, it sold 851,000 units generating $14.58 million in sales. As a point of comparison, Shrek Forever After sold about twice as many during its first week of release, but it was a Tuesday release and it came out during the heart of Christmas shopping season.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 slipped to second place with 489,000 units / $9.32 million over the week for a total of 4.29 million units / $78.09 million after two. This will likely be one of the best selling DVDs of the year, if not the best selling DVD of the year, because it is a blockbuster release with a fangirl demographic, which helps sales. However, its target audience is less likely to have made the leap to high definition, so its Blu-ray share will be lower, further boosting DVD sales.
Tower Heist earned third place in its debut with 400,000 units / $6.80 million. It really should have sold better than this, and its Blu-ray sales won't compensate for the weakness on the DVD chart. J. Edgar was next with 311,000 units / $4.66 million, which is not bad, given its disappointing theatrical run. In a ghoulish result, The Bodyguard rose to fifth place with 165,000 units / $987,000.
Weeds: Season Seven just missed the top five with 125,000 units, but placed fifth with $2.38 million. The Way was further back in 13th place with 55,000 units / $686,000, which is solid for a limited release. The Son of No One opened in 23rd place with 26,000 units / $414,000.

Best Buy Offers 'Lorax' Plush
28 Feb, 2012
By: John Latchem

Best Buy's 'Lorax' Plush
One might expect the newly released discs of family titles Hugo and Puss in Boots would be perfect for bonus exclusives, but retailers were rather lax in that regard. The only exclusives for these titles were at Walmart, which had a low-cost, extras-free DVD version of Puss in Boots, and a Puss plush with copies of the DVD or Blu-ray. (For those keeping count, that equals seven different versions of Puss in Boots at Walmart).
Instead, the biggest promotion centered on new theatrical film The Lorax, with Best Buy offering a Lorax plush doll with the purchase of a select family title at $12.99. The selection included Despicable Me, E.T., The Cat in the Hat and more.
Another exclusive at Best Buy involved the new Justice League: Doom animated movie and a Flash figurine with the Blu-ray. A version without the figurine is $5 less.
Best Buy’s weekly ad circular touted several critically acclaimed films under the banner of RottenTomatoes.com with a mix of new favorites such as The Social Network and classics such as Taxi Driver. Sony Pictures released most of the films on the list.
Best Buy also presented a promotion of $7.99 DVDs featuring Barbie and Strawberry Shortcake.

Projections: Family Titles to Top the Charts
5 Mar, 2012
By: John Latchem

In it first full week in stores, DreamWorks Animation’s Puss in Boots, distributed by Paramount, should have enough momentum to carry it to the top of the charts the week ending March 4. Its biggest competition among new releases is Paramount’s Hugo, which earned $69.5 million at the domestic box office and recently took home five Oscars.
On the rental chart, Hugo should debut on top, with Puss in Boots also performing strongly. Fox’s In Time is expected to jump into the top five after expiration of its 28-day kiosk embargo.
Projected Top 3 Sellers for Week Ending 3/4/2012
1 Puss in Boots Paramount/DreamWorks 2
2 Hugo Paramount New
3 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 Summit

'Puss' Tops Overall Disc Sales; 'Hugo' Tops Rentals and BD Sales
7 Mar, 2012
By: Thomas K. Arnold

Puss in Boots
Despite multiple Oscar wins, Paramount’s Hugo couldn’t topple DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots, also distributed by Paramount, from the top spot on the national home video sales chart the week ended March 4.
The Martin Scorsese-helmed family adventure film debuted at No. 2 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, selling 78% as many discs as Puss in Boots did in its sophomore week.

Summit’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 held pat at No. 3, while the No. 4 spot went to another new release, Warner’s Justice League: Doom, an animated direct-to-video release.
Rounding out the top five was Warner’s The Bodyguard, which in the wake of star Whitney Houston’s Feb. 11 death has sold about 390,000 units, according to Home Media Research. The film is scheduled to make its Blu-ray Disc debut March 27. Two other movies starring Houston also moved up to the top 20: The Preacher’s Wife at No. 9 and Waiting to Exhale at No. 15.
On Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, Hugo narrowly beat Puss in Boots for the top spot. Nielsen data shows that Hugo generated 51% of its total unit sales from the Blu-ray Disc version, as opposed to 39% for Puss.
Justice League: Doom debuted at No. 3, while Walt Disney’s Lady and the Tramp was down a notch at No. 4.
On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week, Hugo also bowed at No. 1, while Puss in Boots repeated at No. 2. Twentieth Century Fox’s In Time, fresh off its 28-day holdback from Netflix and Redbox, zoomed up the rental chart to No. 3, from No. 63 the prior week.
The previous week’s top rental, Breaking Dawn, slipped to No. 4.

Week Ending 03/03/12

About the same revenues as last week.
Its the first time the YoY for Blu-ray is down this year but this was one of the two best 1Q 2010 weeks to go against. This was Bambi new to Blu-ray week last year.
The only remaining 1Q 2010 week over $31 M is week 13/13 next month. The next three weeks before that are easier comparison weeks coming up.

Total Box Office power this week is a bit misleading as last year Bambi was the number one title but as a new to Blu-ray re release did not count in the TBO statistics.
Justice League Doom this year was a Direct to Video release so it did not count either but it was not a Bambi.

Blu-ray Sales: Hugo's Huge in High Definition
Hugo led a limited number of new releases on top of the Blu-ray sales chart. It sold 523,000 units while generating $14.37 million in sales. This is a good result compared to its theatrical run, but not great given the film's production budget. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 51%, which is fantastic for a family film, although this is not your typical family film.
Puss in Boots was in second place with 504,000 units / $14.11 million during its first full week of release, giving it early totals of 1.08 million units / $30.10 million. It is already one of the best selling Blu-rays released this year.
Justice League: Doom opened in third place with 161,000 units / $3.06 million. For a direct-to-DVD release, an opening week Blu-ray share of 62% is outstanding. There is one caveat. The target demographic for this release lines up nearly perfectly with the demographic most likely to own a Blu-ray setup.
Lady and the Tramp slid to fourth place with 103,000 units / $2.62 million for the week and 1.48 million / $37.08 million after roughly a month.
As if to emphasize how slow it was on the home market, Lord of the Rings Blu-ray Triology Box Set climbed back into the top five with 85,000 units / $5.82 million for the week and totals of 656,000 units / $36.43 million.
[NOTE: Kosty - LOTR EE BD was on sale at Amazon this week]
The only other new release to chart was Johnny English Reborn, which opened in ninth place with 31,000 units / $773,000. It bombed domestically, so this result is not unexpected. In fact, its opening week Blu-ray share was 35%, which is better than average for a comedy.
Overall Blu-ray market was more robust when compared to last week seeing growth of 10% in terms of units and 22% in terms of dollars.
On the other hand, it was mixed when compared to last year, as 16% fewer units were sold, but 6% more revenue was generated. On the other hand, DVD sales were down across the board, so the overall Blu-ray share rose to 38% in terms of units and 52% in terms of revenue. Given the time of year and the lack of blockbuster titles that made their debut this week, this is a great result.
Next week will likely be no better than this week in terms of units. The best selling release will likely be Immortals; however, Game of Thrones: Season One could generate more revenue. Last year new releases were pretty week, with Bambi and Jackass 3 battling for top spot. Since no DVD sold 500,000 units or more, we should be able to earn a win.

DVD Sales: Boots Walks All Over Competition
Puss in Boots remained in first place on the DVD sales chart during its first full week of release. It sold an additional 798,000 units and generating $12.16 million in revenue for totals of 1.65 million units / $26.74 million so far.
The best new release was Hugo, which placed second with 502,000 unit s/ $8.42 million. It was a very expensive movie to make and it deserved to perform better than this.
The Bodyguard continued its ghoulish climb reaching third place with 239,000 units / $1.43 million. At least the studio isn't jacking up the price to cash in.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 fell to fourth place with 216,000 units / $4.02 million over the week for a totals of 4.51 million units / $82.12 million. It is the best selling DVD of 2012 and will likely hit 5 million units shortly.

It could reach $100 million during the run up to the release of Part 2. Tower Heist fell to fifth place with 149,000 units / $2.98 million over the week giving it a two-week total of 550,000 units / $9.79 million.
The best of the rest of the new releases was Justice League: Doom in eighth place with 100,000 units / $1.35 million. Meanwhile, Johnny English Reborn opened in 15th place with 57,000 units / $993,000. At least it made a bundle internationally.

Retailers Play the 'Game'
6 Mar, 2012
By: John Latchem

The DVD and Blu-ray release of HBO Home Entertainment’s Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s Immortals provided fodder for several retailer exclusives March 6.
For “Game of Thrones,” Best Buy offered two exclusive alternate box art options for the boxed set. Fans could get a separate coaster set for $6.99. Target offered a “Creating the Visual Effects” bonus featurette with the DVD set.
For Immortals, Best Buy offered exclusive making-of content at BestBuy.com.
Target’s other big exclusive for the week was a free “Beach Fun Barbie” doll (a $7.59 value) with the purchase of the Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 DVD at $12.99. Target also offered an $8 savings with the joint purchase of the new Blu-rays of The Lion King 1 1/2 and The Lion King 2 at $24.99 each.
Walmart had a Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 DVD packed with a dolphin plush toy for $14.96. The DVD-only version was $12.99.
Other Best Buy exclusives included Blu-ray editions of Wall Street and The Brothers McMullen at $14.99 each.
In total, Best Buy devoted almost seven pages of its 38-page ad circular to packaged media.

Projections: 'Immortals' Looks To Take 'Throne'

12 Mar, 2012
By: John Latchem

A popular HBO show is competing with several modest theatrical performers for the top sales spot the week ending March 11.
Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season looks like it will have a strong debut week, but to top the charts it will have to overcome the likes of Fox’s Immortals ($83.5 million at the domestic box office), Sony Pictures’ Jack and Jill ($74.2 million) and Paramount’s remake of Footloose ($51.8 million).
With Immortals relegated to a 28-day kiosk embargo, Jack and Jill should top the rental chart.
