Pirates beats The Matrix in sales - Blu-ray Forum

When are we going to get a definitive thread that shows us updated Nielsen numbers without having to hunt through several threads looped together into each other?

I get confused.

This is with the ads in theaters, internet and a Buy-day.

Warner, Paramount and Universal should really wake up and smell the ocean.

Here's the html version (just turn off your flash to see this better version)

It was the battle of the high-def disc titans, and the pirates won.

In the first of what observers expect will be many high-profile title showdowns, Buena Vista Home Entertainment on May 22 released the first two “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies on Blu-ray Disc, just before the third installment in the blockbuster franchise opened on the big screen.

The same day, Warner Home Video released two “Matrix” collections on the rival HD DVD format.

Within a week, consumers had spent more than $2 million on those releases alone, according to Home Media Magazine market research estimates. The two “Pirates” films sold a combined total of nearly 47,000 units, while the higher-priced “Matrix” sets sold about 13,900 units.
