Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has sparked renewed interest in the films building up to Marvel’s big superhero ensemble extravaganza. Three of the five pre-Avengers titles currently reside on Amazon’s top 10 bestselling Blu-ray chart days ahead of The Avengers theatrical release this Friday.
Sitting in position four is the Blu-ray and DVD combo edition of Thor starring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. Amazon has it priced at $19.99 or 56 percent off the $44.99 list price. Also of note is the Blu-ray 3D combo pack edition of Thor is currently the fourth bestselling Blu-ray 3D title at Amazon.
Captain America: The First Avenger starring Chris Evans sits a couple spots lower at number six. It shares the same $19.99 price as Thor, more than 50 percent off list. The Blu-ray 3D edition is also a couple spots lower than Thor at spot six on that chart.
Coming in position 10 at Amazon is Iron Man 2 starring Robert Downey Jr. This one is priced a little lower at $14.49, roughly half the $29.99 list price. The original Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are $14.49 and $12.49 in positions 22 and 21, respectively.
Taking a larger view of The Avengers impact on Blu-ray sales, 20 percent of Amazon’s current top 25 bestselling Blu-ray titles are part of Marvel’s franchise. These rankings may very well improve once The Avengers is released in the U.S. on May 4.
