Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder
Even the used DVD stores are fading. The one near me is expanding to more things like those little big head figures and trading card games in order to keep cash flowing. I still find myself browsing there every now and then, but I rarely buy anymore. I either have most of what I want, or the titles still on my wishlist are somewhat obscure and I'd need to use eBay to find them (which really isn't as fun as browsing the shelves).

Pretty remarkable for a format that has been legacy for over 10 years now.

I rarely buy, maybe a title a month on average. That's pretty sparse considering I used to buy 4 - 5 week at the height of my collecting. Although there are many reasons for my decline in purchasing; storage, huge unwatched pile, and wasted money, the fact of the matter is, from the list of already released titles, I already own what I feel like owning.

If I started collecting today, I could see myself buying 2 to 5 titles a week, tons great of movies to buy.
But, since I have about 1,000 movies now, I find myself only picking up 2 movies a month on avg...then another 5 or 6 at Christmas time (Black Friday and a few weeks afterwards).
Just picked up Doctor Strange and Rogue One...wife wants "La La Land" and "Beauty and the Beast" when they come out.
Will buy the 5 or 6 titles I want to own, but I am willing to wait to get a much cheaper price.

La La Land and Beauty are two titles I know I'll end up adding. Finally a couple I can get her for some occasion she will actually want.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder
Nowadays, for big mainstream titles, I usually only purchase a BD or 4K if it's something that has replay value like a War movie with some historical significance or a sci-fi/big budget summer blockbuster.
Everything else, I am more than willing to just rent a digital copy or go to Red Box and get the disc.
(No big free Library rentals here in Orange County, CA) The last video store that I was a regular at just shut down in February. Finding rentals is becoming a little more challenging now.
Now on the other hand, for niche/horror/sci-fi catalog titles, I am very happy that labels like Shout and Arrow exist. They are probably the 2 big retailers where I have spent most of my money in the last several months. Granted, the titles aren't cheap ($20-27) on average. But, considering the work that goes into making them, I think it's worth the expense.
For a title coming out in theaters that I will definitely see like "The Fate of the Furious", I will absolutely pick that up when it comes to 4K/BD later in the year. Probably the same for Transformers: The Last Knight even though it will be really really long and bloated. Same with comic titles like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman.

Wonder if Rogue One will push the blu-ray percentage past 50%...

You would think that in this day and age people would conveniently order online.

My niece works in retail and whenever there's a blockbuster released to DVD or blu-ray people are lining up on release day. She said it's a madhouse especially when a new Disney movie streets.

Will you get a slipcover or not?
Do you want to wait 3-5 days for delivery?
Is it going to arrive damaged or not?
Will it arrive at all?
In some cases, do I want to spend another $10-$20 to qualify for free shipping?
Will it be the "store exclusive" version or the regular version?
All things being equal, I'd rather just buy it at a store.

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about what Rogue One is supposed to be. I'm seeing people on forums not understanding where it fits in the timeline. Maybe it needed an episode number, like Episode 3.9 or something. (Then we run the risk of getting into Kingdom Hearts syndrome...).
I wonder if that confusion is affecting the sales and it will have legs and keep selling down the road.

Immediately what I thought of when I saw "3.9" in your post.

The Force Awakens might have come out the same week last year, but you would still not expect Rogue One to sell 28% less blu-rays...

I would
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $936,627,416 (USA) (22 May 2016)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - $530,748,532 (USA) (19 March 2017)
the above is just USA box office numbers from IMDB.
edit: even if you stop TFA at the same week as RO, it's still $932,324,258
