So who believes there will be a Paramount announcement tuesday? - Blu-ray Forum

BLU for Blue · 03-03-2008, 03:17 AM

Im not saying it wont happen, but we havent heard of a confirmed announcement(s) just a rumor. Now if there is an announcement what do you honestly think will be announced? I doubt it will be a title and date, I think it will be more like, "titles are coming starting..." spring, maybe early summer.

I think odds are pretty good.

I asked Penton and Max.

Neither has responded.

By the way

Any updates on the offending Bee Movie blurays?

Still boxed up as of Friday. But I think I said Thursday the box was taped up and said "Do not open until Managers approval"

I hope so. They need to announce SOMETHING.

I want CLOVERFIELD

Lou-Cipher · 03-03-2008, 03:59 AM

I think when the announcment from Paramount comes, they will announce Transformers, Bee Movie, Sweeny Todd, There Will Be Blood, Cloverfield, and all of the previous titles that they pulled last year. (crossed fingers)

BLU for Blue · 03-03-2008, 04:02 AM

Why would they only list 1 back title? I dont think they will announce Transformers just yet, but I think they will announce Sweeney, Bee Movie, There Will Be Blood, but not Cloverfield. Cloverfield just isnt big enough to get that treatment. It really wasnt good, and was beaten out by a spoof movie in its 2nd week and a 13 year old girls concert by almost 20M in 400 theaters the 3rd week.

I agree, Transformers will be the lead into this

This is Paramount's decision, and it is unlikely that they would inform third parties. I am looking foward to tuesday.

NutsAboutPS3 · 03-03-2008, 12:57 PM

There was a story about this earlier today on another site, but it seems to have disappeared. It said we aren't going to see any Paramount / Dreamworks Blu-rays till summer. Could be a load of nonsense; as I said, the story seems to have been taken down now.

Edit: just done some searching for similar stories elsewhere, and this, for example, says the same thing:
http://www.thetechherald.com/article...-after-March-4

"According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paramount could start releasing its titles on the competing Blu-ray format as early as this summer."

Luis_A51 · 03-03-2008, 02:34 PM

When they do come back, im positive they'll announce Transformers, Sweeney Todd, Cloverfield, etc.

Why wouldnt they announce Transformers? They want to come back with a BANG and if they wait too long the sales will suffer (itll be old news)

Here in the uk dvd.co.uk has Sweeney Todd on Blu-ray for release on 19th May and also Zodiac Blu-ray release for the 24th April!!

stockstar1138 · 03-03-2008, 04:15 AM

I would say 70% they will.

Invincible0427 · 03-03-2008, 05:08 AM

I hope so, if not we all know its inevitable. Just hurry up Damn it!!

u_nick · 03-03-2008, 11:51 AM

On the subject of Cloverfield specifically, I personally have no interest, but I think it was a pretty decent hit with a large bit of fans. I know plenty of people that will buy it.

I dont think it will be in the first announcement. Not because it's bad, but rather because it's too early. I think a Cloverfield announcement will more likely come about a month after Paramount's first group of announcements. Should it happen tomorrow of course.

Xerious · 03-03-2008, 12:10 PM

cloverfield ftw. can't wait for the extras like stills and galleries... wow, did i just say that??

mystiksuicide · 03-03-2008, 12:41 PM

What makes everyone think any announcement is coming tomorrow? They should have done one already but did I miss something someone wrote?

Assuming you saw what you saw, and I have no reason not to believe you, there will be an announcement tomorrow about new releases.

CassilineKnight · 03-03-2008, 02:21 PM

Where did you guys hear this from?

Thats excellent if its true. I hope they announce a lot of good movies.
