Manga Films (Spain) goes Blu-ray exclusive - Blu-ray Forum

This studio had initially pre-announced titles such as Crash or Hostage for HD DVD in 2007, but they were delayed. Now it announces it will begin releasing content on Blu-ray next July. Initial titles will be John Rambo and Mr. Brooks.

"For the time being" they won't do any HD DVD releases.

Thanks to 'Archibald Alexander Leach' @ mundodvd forums for the tip.

Great News...With the software sales we are seeing 80%+ in favor of Blu-ray, how much longer will Paramount and Universal delay the inevitable?

blitz6speed · 02-04-2008, 06:04 PM

Yay for intelligent studios!

Not sure who they are, but this is definitely more good news.

What's going to happen to HD DVD when all their import sources dry up? It seems Europe is quickly turning Blu.

It seems "Manga Films" has the rights of Rambo in Spain.

Beta Man · 02-04-2008, 06:36 PM

a few well known movies you listed, yet I never heard of the studio. A victory is a victory though...... I'm ready for one format, I want the wait to end!

And the red bots will spin this somehow as "pfft, they don't matter."

Great news!

Very impressive. To have a studio do a full 180 in their hi-def plans... This must have taken a very special operative to do.

Or, conversely, just an honest assessment of the market, of course.

Denzelio · 02-04-2008, 07:45 PM

whats the ratio again

3:1 or 4:1, studio's going Blu-ray per Retailer deserting HD DVD

(studio:retailer)

Davan · 02-04-2008, 07:47 PM
