(Once they can get past Robin Hood on Blu, it's only a step to their already Ultra-mastered GWTW and Oz...)

More of those classic titles are coming to Blu, but as you said, it's true that Casablanca and Robin Hood sold very poorly on HD-DVD. So it might be a year or so before you see them try those titles again on Blu. They'll be out eventually. In the meantime, the studio has tons of big new release titles like The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, Get Smart and I Am Legend to grow the Blu market with, not to mention catalog titles that need to be ported over to Blu like the Matrix films and Batman Begins.
