Our DVD and Blu-ray sales estimates are based on weekly retail surveys, which we use to build a weekly market share estimate for each title we are tracking. The market share is converted into a weekly sales estimate based on industry reports on the overall size of the market, including reports published in Media Play News.

For example, if our weekly retail survey estimates that a particular title sold 1% of all units that week, and the industry reports sales of 1,500,000 units in total, we will estimate 15,000 units were sold of that title. The consumer spending estimate is based on the average sales price for the title in the retailers we survey.

We refine our estimates from week to week as more data becomes available. In particular, we adjust weekly sales figures for the quarter once the total market estimates are published by the Digital Entertainment Group. Figures will therefore fluctuate each week, and totals for individual titles can go up or down as we update our estimates.

Because sales figures are estimated based on sampling, they will be more accurate for higher-selling titles.

Weekend projections: Chainsaw Man debuts with $17 million to keep box office earnings above water

October 26th, 2025

Chainsaw Man movie still

Chainsaw Man—The Movie: Reze Arc will take an easy win at the box office this weekend, with Sony projecting a $17.25-million debut. That will take it well past Black Phone 2’s $13 million in its second weekend. New releases, Regretting You and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, will come in third and fourth. More...

Home Market Releases for February 9th, 2016

February 8th, 2016

Grandma

It's a strange week on the home market, as we have a monster release coming out, Spectre. There are also four or so releases that are contenders for Pick of the Week. But after that, there's a huge drop in quality and we quickly reach releases that are not even worthy of being fillers. Of the contenders, Grandma is the Pick of the Week and it is certainly worth picking up on Blu-ray. More...

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for February 12th, 2013

February 12th, 2013

It's a busy week, not only in terms of big selling DVDs and Blu-ray, but also in terms of quality. Skyfall will be the best-selling DVD and Blu-ray of the week, plus it is a contender for Pick of the Week. It is not the only contender, as The Perks of Being a Wallflower (DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack); The Sessions (DVD or Blu-ray); Bully (DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack); Nurse Jackie: Season Four (DVD or Blu-ray) and The Thieves (DVD or Blu-ray) were all contenders. In the end, I went with Skyfall, but it was close. More...

Featured TV on DVD Review: Slugterra: Return Of The Shane Gang

February 11th, 2013

You know how some times bullets are called slugs? Imagine a gun that fires living slugs. Imagine a gun that fires living slugs that start out really cute and then "evolve" into giant monster versions of themselves. That's the idea of Slugterra. I've reviewed a number of toy related cartoons recently and for the most part they've all started to blend together. Will the pun-based premise help this show stand out? Or will it fade into the very crowded field? More...
