One of the confusing "new" releases is The Hunger Games, which spent its first full week on the home market, but came out a few days before Tuesday. It likely won't last in first place for long, as The Avengers is coming out soon and should be record-breaking on Blu-ray.ĭVD Sales: Home Market Gorges on New Releasesĭepending on how you look at things, there were more than ten new releases to reach the top 30 on the DVD Sales Chart.
It is already in the top ten best-selling Blu-rays of all time and the best-selling Blu-ray of the year. It saw its sales numbers grow a little bit to 1.75 million units / $34.99 million for the week giving it totals of 3.42 million units / $68.32 million. The Hunger Games dominated the Blu-ray Sales Chart during its first full week on the home market. At this point, it had sold 3.75 million units and generated $61.79 million, which was enough for sixth place for 2012. Brave remained in top spot with 1.59 million units / $27.28 million during its second week of release. This is not a surprise, as it was the Thanksgiving Sales weekend and holdovers tend to dominate the chart. There were not many new releases to reach the top 30 on the November 25th edition of the DVD sales chart. Brave is still a little behind in terms of total units at 4.33 million to 4.75 million however, after just three weeks of release, it has overtaken The Lorax's 17-week total revenue at $73.45 million to $72.32 million. However, the latter wins in terms of revenue at $11.65 million to $8.09 million.
Seuss' The Lorax and Brave were in a battle for first place with the former winning if you go by units at 637,000 to 584,000. There were a quartet of new releases to reach the December 2nd edition of the DVD sales chart, but none of them were able to challenge for top spot.
