Movies coming out on BD and HD DVD in 2008

[dragons lair]

We all know that Blu Ray has a big advantage in releases this year (Spidey, Pirates, etc) vs. HD DVD, but, I was wondering, what about next year, so I made a list of everything that could, in my opinion, be a big hit, the over $100 million type of films, I wanted to include 30 Days of Nights, Resident Evil 3, The Kingdom and 3:10 to Yuma but none of them will/has done over $100 million at the Box Office.

If anyone else can think of a film that should be a big hit I might of missed just post the title and I will edit my list, but it should be a film that comes out for HDM by the end of 2008, for example, Harry Potter 6 comes to theaters in November, 2008, so it will not be out on HDM till 2009, so it would not be included.

I can't believe Sony has only 1 movie slated for 2008....

[cathexist]

The Hellboy sequel is Universal? dammit...hopefully they're neutral by then.

[assur191]

Bee Movie is actually Dreamworks, but Sony has Vantage Point, Hancock, and Step Brothers (Will Ferrell and John C Reilly comedy). Warner also has 10,000 B.C.

Wasn't this changed to STV?

I believe that this is a DreamWorks film, and not a Sony film...

That has to be incorrect, as Bee Movie is Dreamworks animation, and will be released by Para*****.

[SS316SRV]

err... Bee Movie is a Paramount/Dreamworks movie.

Even worse Bee movie is from Paramount, so they have none.

[The Don]

that was one nasty echo

[Alan Gordon]

Also, you left out "Iron Man"... also Paramount.

I don't believe that's how things will transpire...so we'll see..

plus, Sony can survive on catalog titles for awhile and let FOX/Disney etc pick up the slack...

[cathexist]

Yeah...saw that Bee Movie mistake as well...and Iron Man (looking forward to that one...at least in theaters).

[SS316SRV]

I would not worry. MGM and Columbia should be releasing a ton of movies this year (they are both owned by Sony).

[cathexist]

Sony has:
Vantage Point
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

not sure what else

[ziggy66]

Sony has Vantage Point coming out in Feb 2008 with Matthew Fox, Forrest Whittaker, Dennis Quaid, and Sigourney Weaver. It's actually been getting a lot of promo time on HDNET's, Nothing But Trailers for the past few months. Bond 22 is also a 2008 release, but it wouldn't be out on Blu till early 2009

[Blu-Style]

HITMAN - looking forward to this title...

I´m wondering how the End product will look like, especially because of the main actor...


Beowulf = Paramount ?

i downloaded the trailer 2 days ago from the PS Store... can you also get it from the US one ?

[cathexist]

Fox also has:

Jumper
Horton Hears a Who

Mummy 3
American Gangster
Hellboy II
Sweeny Todd
Indiana Jones
Iron Man

Who knows how well Incredible Hulk will do, but I'm sure it'll be better than the first attempt.

As for us...Disney, Warner and Newline has some damn good ones.

Golden Compass
10,000 BC
I Am Legend
Speed Racer
The Dark Knight
Harold and Kumar
Chronicles of Narnia 2
Alien Vs Predator
National Treasure

Hopefully, they will release these day in date with HDdvd's biggest hitters. Along with some back titles on those dates as well.

Either that..or as mentioned above..hopefully Universal will be neutral by then, but I doubt it.

The format war could be neck and neck next year, it if isn't over by mid 2008 that is.

the week that we actually get Batman Begins will be ours....along with The Dark Knight...

these 2 things I can guarantee...
