Masters of the Universe held number one for a second week, and ten more points of its sales went 4K

Masters of the Universe spent a second week first on the Blu-ray chart, first on packaged media overall and first among the week’s 4K releases, for the week ending 31 October [1].

The rank is unchanged from last week, but the 4K share is not. In its debut week the 4K edition took 32 percent of the film’s units. This week it took 42, while the HD share moved a single point, 67 to 68 [2]. Both of those are shares of this film’s own sales, so neither says how many discs went out of the door. What they say is which edition buyers reached for, and ten more points of them reached for the 4K than did a week earlier. Both of the reviews we read on street date preferred that edition, and our disc guide carries the full specification on each.

Second place on all three of the week’s ranking charts went to the Criterion Collection’s Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro’s, which carries nine Oscar nominations including Best Picture. The set ships the theatrical cut alongside an extended Reborn Cut, both with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision on the 4K discs, a del Toro commentary on the Reborn Cut and a run of video extras across two Blu-rays. It sold 58 percent as many Blu-ray units as Masters of the Universe [3]. A film that took under $65 million at the domestic box office outsold that in the same seven days.

Blu-ray.com still publishes shares rather than copies, and last week’s entry made the same complaint, so the chart cannot tell you how many discs anybody bought. Its fourth table is the one to read against the other three. That one ranks 4K sellers by share of a title’s own units and runs Scary Movie at 99.74 percent, The Frighteners at 90, Frankenstein at 64, Halloween at 50 and Godzilla Minus One at 49, with Masters of the Universe nowhere on it [4]. Each of those five sold almost all of its units on 4K. That is what the table ranks. Masters of the Universe sold 42 percent of its that way, so most of the people who bought it last week took the standard Blu-ray home.

Both editions were at Amazon when we last looked on 3 November, each reading in stock, and no price is quoted here because that reading came back in Canadian dollars [5]. BigBadToyStore carries figures from the film but no disc edition of it, and no home video format at all [6].
