A bit of a slow week for Blu-ray releases is revealed by the Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for this week.

New day and date releases are Marmaduke, Harry Brown and Why Did I Get Married Too?.

It is a big week for television releases though, with House: Season Six, The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season, Sons of Anarchy: Season Two and NCIS: Los Angeles - The First Season.

Perhaps the highlight for Sam Raimi fans is the release of the original The Evil Dead.

Lots of new releases in the Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for the week, though few are high profile.

Perhaps the highlight for the week is the release of Lost: The Complete Sixth Season, rounding out the popular series on Blu-ray Disc.

Also on TV we have The Simpsons: The Thirteenth Season, which seems like an unusual choice given that we are 20 seasons in on this show.

The day and date release of Jennifer Lopez in The Back-up Plan is one of the few studio movie releases for the week.

Fans of  Bob Hoskins may want to check out Image Entertainment releases Mona Lisa and The Long Good Friday.

Other British notables from Image include Withnail and I and Time Bandits, though Time Bandits has a 1080i encode for some weird reason.

Kick-Ass propelled the Blu-ray market share to a healthier 14% for the week ending August 8th, according to Home Media Magazine.

Blu-ray revenue was $22.89M for the week, up over 40% compared to last year after two weeks of lagging 2009 figures.

Lionsgate’s Kick-Ass was easily to top seller for the week, ahead of Clash of the Titans from Warner in 2nd place.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid from Fox, Anchor Bay’s The Crazies and Avatar from Fox rounded out the top five on the chart for the week.

New release Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer from Summit took 9th position, ahead of Disney title James and the Giant Peach in 11th place.

Recent release Repo Men from Universal came in 12th place, ahead of another recent release Batman: Under the Red Hood from Warner in 14th position.

Kick-Ass was a very strong seller for Blu-ray Disc with 49% market share, while Diary of a Wimpy Kid was at the other end of the scale with just 12% of sales on Blu-ray Disc.

Other top sellers with strong Blu-ray performance include Clash of the Titans with 36%, Avatar with 42% and Hot Tub Time Machine with 40% Blu-ray Disc market share.

However even these were beaten by bargain priced titles The Crazies with 74% and Brooklyn’s Finest with 60% Blu-ray market share.

Market share for other new releases included The Ghost Writer with 23% and on the TV side  Heroes: Season 4 had 18% market share on Blu-ray Disc.

There are quite a few titles of note in the Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery this week, including the kick ass action film Kick-Ass.

Other Day and Date releases include Heroes: Season 4  and the Sony Pictures foreign language release A Prophet.

There are also a few notable catalog releases, including Sam Mendes directed Road to Perdition, cult classic Piranha, Disney’s animated James and the Giant Peach , eighties classic The Breakfast Club and Elvis documentary movie Elvis on Tour from Warner.

Additionally MGM has a number of their movies being released with DVDs included with titles like Escape from New York, Kalifornia, Bull Durham and Fargo.

The Blu-ray market share was down at 9% for the week ending July 18th according to Home Media Magazine, in single digits for the first time since February.

The revenue for the week was still in double digits though, with $11.02M taken in for the week.

New release The Bounty Hunter from Sony Pictures took 1st place, ahead of Blu-ray favourite Avatar and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, both from Fox Home Entertainment.

Hot Tub Time Machine from MGM and Brooklyn’s Finest from Anchor Bay rounded out the top 5.

New release Our Family Wedding from Fox was the second placed DVD, but placed 8th on the Blu-ray chart.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo from Music Box Films continues to do well for a foreign title in 9th place.

Looking at market share for the top DVD titles it is easy to see how the overall market share is so low.

Top selling DVDs The Bounty Hunter and Our Family Wedding had only 14% and 11% market share respectively.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hot Tub Time Machine did considerably better in the 22% -23% range.

Avatar is still doing superbly however, with 43% market share on Blu-ray Disc.

After some quiet weeks, there are quite a few new releases in the Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for this week.

Probably the highest profile release is the Warner Home Video 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans.

Stallone fans will be excited to see an extended cut of Rambo as well as a Rambo: Complete Collector’s Set.

On the ‘better late than never’ side, we finally have a Blu-ray release for the Star Wars oriented Fanboys movie.

Fans of art house will be pleased to see a new Criterion Collection release The Secret of the Grain.

On the television side we have Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 from Universal and SGU: Stargate Universe - Season 1.5 from MGM Home Entertainment.

While not the best selection, at least it is a step in the right direction…?

The Blu-ray market share was only 10% last week, and the revenue of $12.77M for the week ending July 11th was down 20% compared to last year, according to Home Media Magazine.

July has been a bit of a slow month for releases so these lack luster numbers don’t surprise me.

Brooklyn’s Finest from Anchor Bay topped the sales chart ahead of last week’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief release from Fox in 2nd place and MGM’s Hot Tub Time Machine in 3rd.

The ever present Avatar from Fox held 4th ahead of new release The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo from Music Box Films in 5th position.

Sony’s new release A Single Man settled for 14th place, while sale priced titles showed up in the chart, including Warner titles Dark City and 2001: A Space Odyssey in 17th and 18th place.

Looking at per title market share, Brooklyn’s Finest managed a solid 25% Blu-ray Disc market share, with Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hot Tub Time Machine in the same ball park at 23% - 24%.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo did a little better with 28% of sales on Blu-ray Disc while A Single Man was slightly worse at 21%.

Avatar is still going strong for Blu-ray though, with a 43% market share.

With consistently high market share for Blu-ray Disc, it would seem that Avatar is the ‘killer app’ this summer.

Blu-ray sales into July remain fairly steady with a market share of 11% on a decent revenue of $17.35M for the week ending July 4th, according to Home Media Magazine.

Fox release Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief took 1st place ahead of Hot Tub Time Machine from MGM in 2nd and The Crazies from Anchor Bay in 3rd.

The top five was rounded out by hot sellers Avatar from Fox and Warner’s The Book of Eli.

The new release of Predator (Ultimate Hunter Edition) from Fox, with its super shiny new transfer, also made the chart in 13th place.

Magnolia got a boost with their release The Warlords, featuring Jet Li, in 14th position.

The new release market share for the top selling titles were fairly strong, with Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief at 25%, Hot Tub Time Machine at 28% and The Crazies at 32% market share.

Avatar continues its strong tradition with 42% market share on Blu-ray Disc, while the HBO television series Entourage: The Complete Sixth Season is at the other end of the scale at 15% of sales on Blu-ray Disc.

The release list looks a little thin in the Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for this week.

The only big studio with releases this week is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, with Day and Date for A Single Man, plus the classic Harryhausen effects movie Jason and the Argonauts.

Foreign film fans might be intrigued by the release of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which features both the original Swedish soundtrack as well as an English dub.

Anchor Bay has the new release Brooklyn’s Finest while Kino is aiming for the oldest movie on Blu-ray with the release of Buster Keaton’s Steamboat Bill, Jr..
