US Blu-ray Sales Decline In 2020

"For the last decade physical media sales, read plastic discs, have continued to decline. Ranging from -5% in 2012 to -18% in 2019. The even more startling news is that disc sales are down almost 23% relative to 2019 in the first quarter of 2020. Clearly one has to assume that with COVID severely impacting the production of any new movies and the on-going re-release on 4K of many older movies, that there are very few big new releases arriving on Blu-ray in Q1 & Q2 2020. Well actually any quarter this year!"
