Iron Man

I agree with Iron Man.
Hopefully it will obliterate the #'s from the vastly inferior Transformers, which only entertained me for the first 15 minutes or so before transforming into a ridiculous train wreck.

But, you gotta consider the amount of time other movies are out. If a movie is released in January, and another in October.. yeah.. sales for 9 months may be bigger than a movie out for 2 months.

I agree though, Iron Man will be huge.

The issue (that I think you may not be thinking of) is that A LOT of people will be getting BD players this Christmas (sales, BD player/TV combos, gifts, etc). When they do this, they will be picking up a title or two to go along with it, and odds are they will most likely be picking up some new D&D releases instead of a catalog title. So, by the 4Q, titles will be bought by new owners, as well as those of us who currently have Blu-ray.

I also suspect that "Iron Man" will beat "The Dark Knight" in sales (though I could be wrong, but with TDK being released after "Iron Man", possibly even during the month of December), and Indy 4 and "Speed Racer" should be close behind.

"Wall-E" probably won't do as well (considering that animation still doesn't sell as well as live-action on BD), "The Incredible Hulk", "Hellboy II", "Wanted", and "Hancock" will do well, but nothing like the others.

that or Indy. If Indy is released that is.

Here is my list for top sellers

1. TDK/Indy
2. Iron Man
3. Uwe Boll's Postal

I'm kidding about # 3.

Gotta be between Indy 4, The Dark Knight, or Iron Man.

DetroitSportsFan · 05-19-2008, 01:52 AM

If the other 3 Indy movies are released with Indy 4, the Indy Quadrilogy will be #1.
