4-Way Poll: Which upcoming month has the best releases?

[NMErickson]

Which upcoming month has the best Blu Ray releases in your opinion?

Notes
-There may be release date changes but I will try to update the list frequently

-I included 95% of the titles from http://releaselists.com/BLURAYNorthAmerica.html , skipping mostly just lesser and display titles

-If not sure how to count "tentative" titles, use your discretion (I count them at about a half point each)

-December does not have many Blu announcements yet but it will fill out in time OR can The Dark Knight win the month all by itself?

[stockstar1138]

September wins right now, but I expect December will have the better release schedule.

[alexakajeff]

September For Sure!!!!! I'm So Excited!!!

[Gamma_Winstead]

so you asking me which month I will be broke in most? oh... that hard. (internet five) Hm. I might go with October. September has TONS of releases but most of them are just rentals and not buys.

PS*
October 21rst:
Casino Royale 2 disk

October 28th:
Journey (3D?)

November 18th
The Dark Knight

December ninth
Mummy 3
Step brothers
Tropic Thunder

*= Dates subject to change.

[BluCrew]

September gets my vote for now (since we don't know all of Nov. and Dec. releases). But Iron Man, Transformers, Godfather series, Kill Bill, L.A. Confidential, Knocked Up, Sixth Sense, Speed Racer, and Shrek the Third are all strong candidates for the month of Sept.

[BigFoot]

At the moment, September. But there are releases every month that I really want (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Transformers, Iron Man, Pushing Daisies S1, Matrix Trilogy, Chuck S1, Serenity, TDK).

[MacDaddyOJack]

I only want Transformers and Nightmare Before Christmas (add to list!) from september. October has a ton of movies I want. All those good horror flicks and the Matrix trilogy makes that one the best.

[DetroitSportsFan]

All of the releases for November and December (and maybe October) haven't been announced yet.

[fighthefutureofhd]

nightmare before christmas comes out next month. at least according to f.y.e.'s in store announcement. for me though november has to be the biggest month. two of my favorite movies come out then.

Ooops, I think you're right I don't know why I was thinking that was Sept. But thats all the more reason to think that October is even better so I stand by my original vote

[NMErickson]

Nobody likes polls

[Blu Titan]

September reigns at the moment, but the goodies have not been announced for November and December.

Nightmare Before Christmas comes out August 26th. But better sooner than later. September and October are close for me since Matrix was announced, plus if the Goonies and some other tentative Oct. releases come out, man....

[u_nick]

September wins for me right now too.

September: 16 regular, 2 more tentative
October: 7 regular, 4 more tentative
November: 7 regular, 2 more tentative
December: 1 regular

And thats just 'must buy's, not including things I plan to rent.

This could be the deciding factor for me. If these come out in October then it wins, if they are pushed to November or December, then I am all over September.

[wnicholas76]

September, without a doubt! And the two biggest releases for said month: Iron Man and Transformers!!

Biggest release in September by far is The Godfather box set....

[view-it-blu]

Do you guys think all the Q4 titles have been announced? Any of those three months will easily trounce September. The best is yet to come. This is off topic, but does anyone know if there is a tentative date in 2009 for the Wizard of OZ yet?

[indiephantom]

I voted October because my pre-order for that month keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

[NMErickson]

sept. lost a bold title to oct. (beetlejuice pushed back)....oct. also gained 2 more big ones: casino, bond: casino royale c.e......nov. took one from dec. (indiana jones).....but dec. gained a new one (wanted)
