following its release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD.
Claiming the second-highest opening week on disc of the year so far,
The Batman
earns nearly double the sales of its closest competition, as it makes its
triumphant return to the Official Film Chart throne and earns an
impressive 93% of its final tally on physical copies, including 22% on 4K
UHD.
Brand new at Number 2 is this week’s highest new entry, video-game sequel
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - once again starring
James Marsden and Jim Carrey, plus the voice of
Ben Schwartz as Sonic - which races in on digital downloads only –
claiming the biggest title of the week on the format and finishing well
ahead of former Number 1, Top Gun at Number 3.
Also brand new this week is
Morbius, which takes Number 4 on digital downloads only. The Marvel story,

in 1961.
