Transformers will probably sell in about the same range as "300" did on HD-DVD in the 1st week, somewhere between 75-100K. One of the most popular summer films, and I'm sure a certain amount of HD DVD fans will purchase just to support paramount.

Fantastic Four Silver Surfer will be out 2 weeks by the time Transformers hits, and Surf's Up and 28 Weeks Later 1 week.

It should be close, but I have to think Transformers will be enough to dominate and tip the scales that week.
