Nielsen Prediction Thread for 04.04.08 (due Wednesday 02.04.08)

[Winn]

HD DVD's wind down is in full swing as the pickings get increasingly slim. There are no major studio releases at all this week as only opus Arte and Vanguard have titles out.

Blu Ray fairs better with Bonnie and Clyde from the Brothers Warner.

The titles, however, are not the big news of the week. The big news is that Best Buy has completely stopped selling HD DVD.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make your prediction with BD:HD even if you are going to predict HD DVD winning the week. Also, you are predicting the BD numbers, the HD DVD is implied. If I am confused, I will ask you for clarification if there is time before the deadline. Otherwise, you are stuck with how I read it.

The prediction period will close at 5 P.M Eastern time. That is 2 P.M. for those of you in Pacific time. This will get us ahead of the leaks. The numbers on April 4th will cover sales from March 24th-March 30th, inclusive.
