Current box office movies that will end up on Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

xwingsct · 01-04-2008, 05:22 AM

I was just looking at this charts and almost 90% of the movies will be
BD exclusive and maybe 5% will be on both format and 5% HD-DVD exclusive.

I don't think it's EXACTLY 90%, but it's definitely in the majority.

A lot of must-haves for me in there like "No Country for Old Men", and potential demo material like "The Golden Compass" and "I Am Legend".

I really would've liked "American Gangster" though

C'mon CES...give us some good news

i agree with you. but soon believe it or not BD will bring universal to its knees and recieve the studio releases.

On that chart, blue numbers signify gains and red ones signify losses.

Sounds about right to me.

I'm probably one of the few who will say that American Gangster was way overrated and probably one of Scott's most mediocre films. Unless it's a director's cut I could care less if it comes to blu-ray. Even with a running time of 2 1/2 hours I thought the movie was missing a lot. Maybe more focus on Denzel's character versus Crowes character?

I can't wait until Enchanted is out on Blu-Ray. I know it's really a movie for the kiddies, but the movie was just genuinely charming. On top of that I haven't seen that kind of animation in a long time.

No Country for Old Men alone is worth pretty much everything on the other side of the thin red line.

crystal_sun · 01-04-2008, 01:50 PM

HITMAN seems like a nice action movie for Blu-Ray only.

Borris · 01-04-2008, 01:52 PM

I really hope that they are able to convert the new IMAX U23D into a good blu transfer. That thing looks amazing from the 3D trailer they had out earier last year.

Respectfully disagree.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Absolutely agree.

Out of top ten. There's only two HD-DVD exlucsive and I don't even care for neither one of them. More like rental that I can watch them on DVD.

crazy25000 · 01-04-2008, 03:50 PM

what signifies if its blu ray or hd?
