The Blu-ray market share was a fairly typical 12% on a revenue of $15.03M for the week ending June 27th, according to Home Media Magazine.

The Book of Eli from Warner maintained its place at the top of the chart, fending off Universal’s Green Zone, close behind in 2nd place.

Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story and Toy Story 2 took 3rd and 4th place respectively, ahead of Avatar from Fox in 5th place.

New release She’s Out of My League from Paramount came in 7th place, with new HBO release Entourage: The Complete Sixth Season very close behind in 8th position, and Summit’s new release Remember Me settled for 11th place.

The top sellers for this week had a pretty solid market share for Blu-ray Disc, with The Book of Eli selling 31% on Blu-ray Disc and Green Zone selling 29%.

On the other end of the spectrum though, Remember Me from Summit sold only 10% on Blu-ray Disc.

Avatar continues to be a strong seller with 42% Blu-ray Disc market share, which was equaled this week by the BBC’s TV series Life.

New releases Entourage and She’s Out of My League sold 20 - 21% on Blu-ray Disc.

It is kind of interesting that while on a release by release basis, Blu-ray is probably on average in the 20% market share range, the overall market share is much lower.

This indicates that the huge depth of the DVD catalog is going to be tough for Blu-ray to gain on.

The Blu-ray market share was 14% for the second week running for the week ending June 20th, according to Home Media Magazine.

On the plus side the revenue was a healthier $26.44M, up 27% over the same period last year.

Warner’s new release The Book of Eli took first place on the chart this week, ahead of Avatar from Fox which has pushed Disney’s Alice in Wonderland to 3rd position.

Shutter Island from Paramount and Sony’s 2012 round out the top 5, with recent Lionsgate release From Paris with Love having to settle for 6th place.

New release When in Rome from Disney debuted in 13th place on the chart, ahead of Sony’s new title Youth in Revolt in 17th position.

Looking at per title market share, top seller The Book of Eli was a strong player for Blu-ray with 35% market share, doing slightly better than Alice in Wonderland with 33% market share.

Avatar continues its strong run with 46% of sales on Blu-ray Disc, as does Life from BBC Video with 39% Blu-ray market share.

Discounts played a strong role this week with 2012 taking the top honors with 79% of sales on Blu-ray Disc, ahead of Law Abiding Citizen with 51% and of The Hangover with 48%.

New release When in Rome is at the other end of the scale with only 12% market share on Blu-ray Disc, while Youth in Revolt did better with 25% of sales on Blu-ray Disc.

This week’s Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery has a number of interesting titles including the first stand alone 3D title available.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Blu-ray 3D) from Sony Pictures has been timed to release with their new 3D displays but is available for stand alone purchase and will no doubt be popular with bleeding edge 3D enthusiasts.

New Day and Date titles this week include action film Green Zone, teen comedy She’s Out of My League and the Tolstoy drama The Last Station.

In classic cinema, Warner has the Digibook release for A Star is Born and Criterion has two new titles - Close-Up and Red Desert.

Cult movie fans will be pleased to see B movies Death Race 2000 from the Roger Corman collection and Troma’s Tromeo and Juliet.

So all in all a good mix of titles for the week.
