Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection shoots up the sales charts
By Dan Selcke
Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection just came out in 4K Ultra HD, and fans are eating it up. Also, Netflix completely dominates the streaming charts.
Just the other week, HBO put out Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, with an image so sharp you can see every single stitch in Cersei Lannister’s gown, and why wouldn’t you want to?
The set is terrific: it’s packed to the gills with extras, and of course, it looks great. And it’s already been a hit. According to Media Play News, the set has debuted in the number two spot on the “Watched at Home” chart, which tracks transactional video activity (both digital and on DVD and Blu-ray) compiled from studio and retailer data through DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group.
Here’s the full list:
- After We Collided (Open Road)
- Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection (Warner)
- Antebellum (Lionsgate)
- Trump Card (D’Souza Media)
- Yellowstone: Season 1 (Paramount)
- Harry Potter Complete 8-Film Collection (Warner)
- Yellowstone: Season 3 (Paramount)
- Yellowstone: Season 2 (Paramount)
- My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Funimation)
- Ava (Vertical)
- Home Alone (Fox/Disney)
- V for Vendetta (Warner)
- The Wolf of Snow Hollow (MGM)
- Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Fox/Disney)
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Warner)
- Trolls World Tour (Universal)
- Alone (Magnolia)
- Beetlejuice (Warner)
- The Phenomenon (1091)
- Spell (Paramount)
After We Collided is a romance movie from Open Road Films that I have literally never heard of, but it’s been in the top spot on the Watched At Home chart for three weeks in a row, which tells me how out of touch I am with what people are actually watching.
Kudos to Game of Thrones! Kudos to love!
Meanwhile, Neilsen has released its new streaming chart, which adds up how many minutes people in the U.S. are watching shows on Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
But really, it doesn’t need most of that, because Netflix shows took the top 10 spots for the week of October 12-18, every one of them:
- The Haunting of Bly Manor: 1.821 billion minutes
- Schitt’s Creek: 1.373 billion
- The 100: 933 million
- The Office: 900 million
- Great British Baking Show: 674 million
- Criminal Minds: 647 million
- Grey’s Anatomy: 629 million
- NCIS: 618 million
- Hubie Halloween: 608 million
- The Blacklist: 591 million
Maybe The Mandalorian from Disney+ can sneak on there when Neilsen gets to it in a couple of weeks’ time. Otherwise, man, is it good to be Netflix.
