week ending 4/18/10

Not much with no new releases and Avatar coming up the next week.





$114.72 M DVD (down -15.52% YTY)

$15.77 M Blu-ray (up +46.20% YTY)

$130.49 M (DVD+BD) (down -10.98% YTY)

12.09% Blu-ray revenue marketshare (near the 12.31% YTD average)

18.68% Blu-ray top 20 unit marketshare (below the 19.67% YTD average)

Blu-ray was once again well up in the year to year weekly comparison mostly because it is being compared to a poor week last year after Easter. Much the same DVD and Blu-ray revenues from last week, the difference is last week was being compared to the 2009 Easter holiday week and this week is being compared to the 2009 post Easter holiday week.

A new record low 9.90 million new release total box office (TBO) for the new release box office down 84.97% from the previous year comparison week. Worst ever for that metric

Worst showing since 9/13/09 for DVD ( $103.87) , second worst showing for DVD weekly revenues on my charts going back to January 2008.

Worst revenue total for year for Blu-ray at $15.77 M, just barely behind 4/11/10 with 18.57 M 2/21/10 with $18.58 M and 1/17/10 with 18.94 M.

Blu-ray sales were below the year to date average $25.49 M but DVD sales were off the charts far below the DVD average of $178.00 M

Sherlock Holmes’ Uncovers Success Again

'Alvin,' 'Blind Side' repeated in second, third spots

"Sherlock Holmes"
There's no stopping "Sherlock Holmes." 


Aided by a dearth of new high-powered theatrical releases, the Warner Home Video actioner remained on top of the national home video sales and rental charts the week ending April 18.

"Sherlock" had no real competition for the top spot on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, snagging the No. 1 for the second consecutive week. 20th Century Fox's "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" and Warner's "The Blind Side" also repeated at No. 2 and No. 3.

The top-selling new release, the 20th Century Fox comedy "Crazy on the Outside," debuted at No. 4 after a limited theatrical release. The film marks the directorial debut of Tim Allen and opened in theaters without being screened for critics.

On Home Media Magazine's rental chart, "Sherlock" was No. 1 for the third consecutive week, with a modest 18% dip in rental demand. As they did on the sales chart, "Alvin" and "Blind Side" again finished at No. 2 and No. 3, with demanding slipping 18% and 24%, respectively.

"Pirate Radio," a comedy from Universal Studios that generated $8 million in theaters, debuted at No. 4, while "Crazy on the Outside" bowed at No. 10.

On the Nielsen VideoScan Blu-ray Disc chart, "Sherlock" regained the top spot after spending a week at No. 2. The previous week's top-selling Blu-ray Disc release, Warner's "Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy," fell to No. 5.
