Blu-ray Sales: Moneyball Earns Greenbacks on Blu-ray

Like it was on the DVD sales chart, there were three new releases to top the Blu-ray sales chart, although they finished in a slightly different order.
Moneyball still led the way with 467,000 units / $9.74 million giving it an opening week Blu-ray share of 44%, which is excellent for a drama.
The Killer Elite finished second on Blu-ray, one place higher than its DVD debut, with 242,000 units / $4.85 million. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 53%. This is better than average for the format, and it is even strong for an action film.
Boardwalk Empire: Season One opened in second place in terms of dollars with $4.92 million, but third in terms of units with 141,000. TV on DVD releases tend to struggle on high definition, but this film earned an opening week Blu-ray share of 38%, which is better than a lot of theatrical releases earn.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes returned to the top five in fourth place with 124,000 units / $2.55 million for the week and totals of 1.79 million / $38.30 million after five.
The Hangover II fell to fifth place with 111,000 units / $1.57 million for the week. After six weeks of release, the film has sold 1.87 million units and generated $30.97 million in sales.

The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption opened in ninth place, one place higher than it did on DVD, and it was stronger than expected on DVD. It sold 61,000 units generating $1.29 million in sales for an opening week Blu-ray share of 37%. That's about average for the format. Normally visual effects laden films perform better than average, but this was also a Direct-to-DVD release, which tends to hurt the Blu-ray share.
What's Your Number? just missed the top ten with 57,000 units / $1.11 million. Its opening week Blu-ray share was 29%, which is actually really good for the genre.
The overall Blu-ray market bounced back this week thanks to several stronger than expected new releases. Compared to last week, it soared 34% in terms of units and 45% in terms of dollars.
Compared to last year it was up 64% in terms of units and 73% in terms of dollars.
Surprisingly, DVD sales also did well compared to last week and last year, albeit not as well as Blu-ray did. The overall Blu-ray share hit 37% in terms of units and 42% in terms of dollars, which is significantly better than last year.
Next week we will likely see Blu-ray slip significantly, as the biggest release is Ides of March, a political drama. It's just not the type of film that does well on high definition.
Last year, Takers led the way on DVD and Blu-ray. Normally I would be cautious, but with the success of the new releases this week, I think Blu-ray should be fine next week.

DVD Sales: Moneyball Doesn't Hit a Home Run, but gets a Solid Double
Moneyball led all new releases and the overall DVD sales chart with 601,000 units / $10.22 million during its first week of release. Boardwalk Empire: Season One was a distant second with 225,000 units / $6.75 million; however, this is still a strong showing for a TV on DVD release. The Killer Elite was right behind with 219,000 units during its first week of sales, which was enough to generate $3.72 million in revenue. Unfortunately for the studio, this was an expensive movie to make, so this isn't enough to be a financial hit. Contagion fell from first to fourth with 193,000 units / $2.89 million for the week giving it totals of 604,000 unit s/ $9.05 million after two. The Hangover II hung onto a spot in the top five with 163,000 units / $1.59 million for the week, which lifted its totals to 3.29 million units / $42.09 million after six weeks of release.
What's Your Number? missed the top five landing in seventh place with 138,000 units / $1.95 million. It bombed in theaters, so this result in no surprise. The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption opened in tenth place with $103,000 units / $1.69 million during its opening week of release. This is a surprise, as I was not expecting a second direct-to-DVD sequel to a spin-off to do much business on the home market.

Projections: Charts Subject To 'Abduction'
23 Jan, 2012
By: John Latchem

A slow start to the new year means any number of titles could slip into the No. 1 position on the sales chart.
The highest-grossing new release among the Jan. 17 titles is Sony Pictures’ political thriller The Ides of March, with about $41 million domestically. Sony Pictures’ Courageous ($34 million) has strong faith-based appeal. But Lionsgate’s Abduction ($28 million) has Taylor Lautner, whose “Twilight” fan base could put the film over the top.
Sony’s Moneyball should repeat atop the rental chart.
Projected Top 3 Sellers for Week Ending 1/22/2012
1 The Ides of March Sony Pictures New
2 Abduction Lionsgate New
3 Moneyball Sony Pictures 2

'Courageous' Rises to the Occasion, Tops Sales Chart

25 Jan, 2012
By: Thomas K. Arnold

Sony Pictures dominated the home video charts the week ended Jan. 22, scoring the top two slots on all three charts.
On the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, which tracks overall disc sales, the studio’s home entertainment division snapped the No. 1 spot with Courageous and the No. 2 spot with The Ides of March, both new releases. Courageous is a police drama with a domestic box office gross of $34.5 million; Ides of March is a political drama starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney that earned just less than $41 million in U.S. theaters.
A third new release, Lionsgate’s Abduction ($28 million), debuted at No. 3 on First Alert. Sony’s Moneyball, the top seller the prior week, slipped to No. 4.
On Nielsen’s Blu-ray Disc sales chart, Ides of March debuted at No. 1 while Courageous bowed at No. 4 — not surprising, given that Ides generated 39% of its sales from the high-definition disc, as opposed to just 16% for Courageous. Moneyball, the previous week’s top Blu-ray seller, slipped to No. 2, while Abduction bowed at No. 3.
Sony also has the week’s two top rentals, with Moneyball remaining at No. 1 on Home Media Magazine’s weekly rental chart for the second consecutive week and Ides of March bowing at No. 2. Abduction debuted at No. 4, and Courageous entered the chart at No. 8.

Blu-ray Sales: Ides of January
January is typically a really bad month for the home market, and it is usually even worse for Blu-ray.
Not only are there not many hits coming out, but those that are being released tend to be films that are better suited to DVD than Blu-ray (middling hits, dramas, etc.). This is certainly the cast with this week's new releases.
Leading the way on the Blu-ray sales chart was Ides of March, a political drama, with 116,000 units / $2.08 million. Its opening Blu-ray share was 39%, which is better than expected for the genre.
Moneyball was in second place in terms of units with 109,000 units, but led the way in terms of dollars with $2.50 million. After two weeks of release, the film has sold 576,000 units and generated $12.24 million in total.
Abduction was next with 83,000 units / $1.65 million, giving it an opening week Blu-ray average of just under 30%. Action films should do better, so this suggests the film's main audience was Twilight fangirls.
Courageous opened in first place on DVD, but only managed fourth place on Blu-ray with 72,000 units / $1.48 million. An opening Blu-ray share of just 16% is bad, even for the genre.
The Killer Elite remained in the top five with 54,000 units / $1.27 million for the week, lifting its totals to 297,000 units / $6.12 million after two.
No other new releases charted.
The overall Blu-ray market slumped when compared to last week and last year.
Compared to last week, it was down 57% in terms of units and 53% in terms of dollars.
Its decline compared to last year was not as strong, but it still fell a distressing 15% in terms of units and 5% in terms of dollars.
DVD sales held on better than Blu-ray compared to last week, but worse compared to last year.
The overall Blu-ray share slipped to hit 29% in terms of units and 35% in terms of dollars, which is barely better than last year's numbers.
Next week should be better with the release of Paranormal Activity 3 and Real Steel, among others. However, Red led last year's DVD sales chart with more than 1 million units and the Blu-ray sales chart with 660,000 units. I don't think any of this year's releases will match that.

DVD Sales: New Releases have the Courage to Stand up to Holdovers
It was a mixed week on the home market as far as new releases were concerned. On the one hand, four of the top five spots on the DVD sales chart were new releases. On the other hand, they were the only new releases to reach the top 30.
Courageous was the best of the bunch selling 381,000 units and generating $6.47 million in opening week sales. Abduction was well back in second place with 195,000 units sold and $2.93 million in sales. The film had horrible reviews, weak box office numbers, and now a poor showing on the home market.
Ides of March opened in third place with 180,000 units / $3.06 million during its opening week. It was an inexpensive movie to make, while it is doing relatively better on Blu-ray, so I think the studio will be happy with its home market debut.
Moneyball fell from first to fourth with 175,000 units / $3.16 million during the week giving it totals of 627,000 units / $10.84 million after two. Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain rounded out the top five with 118,000 units / $1.54 million, which is fantastic for this type of release. Then again, most stand-up concert films don't have a theatrical run, so it might be an unfair comparison.

Here is the The-Numbers charts for the matching weeks in 2012 and 2011 and 2010.
Blu-ray chart for last year not available.
January 2011 clearly had better residual sales of recent 4Q December releases than 2012 or even 2010.

Real Deals for ‘Real Steel’
24 Jan, 2012
By: John Latchem

Shoppers looking to pick up Disney’s new robot boxing flick, Real Steel, had a few options once it hit shelves Jan. 24.
Best Buy advertised a $5 coupon that could be used on the three-disc Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo pack, bringing the price down the $22.99. The coupon was available at RealSteelCoupon.com/BestBuy through Jan. 29.
Target had a different kind of Real Steel deal, offering a $5 discount off the joint purchase of any Real Steel Blu-ray and a $7.49 Real Steel action figure.
Other promotions focused on Paramount’s Paranormal Activity 3. Best Buy offered the first two films on DVD for $4.99 each and on Blu-ray for $9.99 each.
Target offered a $5 instant savings with the joint purchase of Paranormal Activity 3 with either of the first two films.

Projections: 'Real Steel' Looks to Take the Prize

30 Jan, 2012
By: John Latchem

Among the slew of Jan. 24 new releases, Real Steel is looking to outshine the rest. The film, from DreamWorks and distributed by Disney, grossed $85.3 million domestically, putting it prime position to top the sales and rental charts for the week ending Jan. 29.
It will have to hold off some strong competition. Summit's 50/50 earned just $35 million, but earned a lot of buzz during awards season. Paramount's Paranormal Activity 3 earned the most among new releases, at $104 million, but this isn't the prime season for horror, and the title is being released only as a Blu-ray combo pack initially, which may hold down its overall sales total. It should perform relatively better on the Blu-ray chart.
Projected Top 3 Sellers for Week Ending 1/29/2012
1 Real Steel Disney/DreamWorks New
2 50/50 Summit New

'Real Steel' Punches Its Way to Top of Sales, Rental Charts

1 Feb, 2012
By: Thomas K. Arnold

Real Steel
Walt Disney Studios’ Real Steel, a sci-fi actioner with Hugh Jackman and Evangeline Lilly, scored a rare triple-play victory on the national home video charts the week ended Jan. 29, riding its $85.4 million domestic theatrical gross to a No. 1 debut on the overall sales and rental charts as well as the dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart.
On the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks overall disc sales, Real Steel was followed at No. 2 by another new release, Summit Entertainment’s 50/50, a comedy with a $35 million box office gross. Real Steel, however, outsold 50/50 by a 5-to-1 margin.
On Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, Real Steel — which generated 54% of its first-week sales from the high-definition disc edition — was followed at No. 2 by a third new release, Paramount’s Paranormal Activity 3, which earned $104 million in U.S. theaters and is available only as a Blu-ray combo pack until Feb. 14, when the DVD-only version is released.
Even so, Paranormal managed to debut at No. 5 on the overall disc sales chart and No. 3 on Home Media Magazine’s rental chart, underscoring the growing clout of Blu-ray. To further Blu-ray sales, several studios are toying with tiered release schedules, putting the Blu-ray in stores weeks before the DVD becomes available.
50/50 debuted at No. 2 on the rental chart and No. 3 on the Blu-ray Disc sales chart, generating 45% of its total unit sales from the high-definition format.
