No PCM on these discs. Dolby TrueHD is included though.

I think sony should have released SM3 first before the box set to counter the Transformers movie. Will the box set count for SM3 sales? Mine arrived this week

I think spiderman won't be as huge as transformer. If I saw amazon sales (I know, it's only amazon), transformer been in top spot for a long time.

Maybe the simpsons or pirates 3?

GamingPhantom · 10-23-2007, 03:22 PM

Spiderman 3 will have a hard time crushing Transformers' number because it is separately and sold in the trilogy box set.

Bullseye · 10-23-2007, 03:31 PM

I think the boxset will hamper the single release numbers a bit.

I, honestly, don't think it has a chance of beating the 190k units sold first week (even though I'm not sure I believe how accurate that is for NA).

It was widely considered a disappointment and a far worse movie (although I enjoyed it for what it was and am buying the trilogy), but most importantly is the $44 MSRP, which means 30-40 dollars at stores (at Best buy/Target it'll be $35-40 -- that's going to cut down the potential buyers quite a bit). I think we'll, disappointingly, see less than 100k units sold and a lot of that will be SPHE's fault (and the PR won't be good).

I'll be very surprised if Spiderman 3 does more than 100k units the first week. With the trilogy I think we'll see over 100k and I think the Spiderman 3 and trilogy will post respectable numbers over time and overall... but SP3 is overpriced and wasn't as good as the rest of the movies -- those are two major strikes against it.

100% on the money. I did not not see S3 in the theaters but the negative reviews from fans and critics combined with the high price equals rental for me. I honestly don't know what Sony is thinking some times.

Bd's best and only chance to beat Transformers numbers is with POC on Dec. 4th.

I don't know about that. Have you seen POTC 3? I think spiderman will do better then POTC... I will be buying both though LOL.

aphex · 10-23-2007, 08:53 PM

Spider man did well in theatres so it will do well in sales. But it will win because there are so many more bluray buyers out there. The dvd will probably lose to the tf dvd tho.

SnakEyes · 10-23-2007, 11:18 PM

So-I had to reply to this. I am a HUGE Spider-Man fan and will buy the trilogy. I am a HUGE Transformers (He-Man, GI Joe etc) fan also. I don't think this needs to be spun into a HD-DVD vs. BluRay battle!? They're both good movies in their own right! I think it's almost guaranteed Spider-Man will sell more than Transformers but not because of format. Spider-Man has a much larger fan base than Transformers does. Sure those of you interested in the format war are rooting for Spider-Man because it's BD- but I own both BD and HD and I look for both of these titles to increase the quality watching in my home entertainment system. To be honest-they could have released these 2 movies on only BETA and I would be on Ebay looking for a player!

I would agree if spiderman 3 wasn't such a bad movie

Transformers had the impact of be being the first Transformers movie in almost 20 years, wheras Spiderman was the second sequel in five years. Because of that fact alone, the Transformers movie had a bigger draw.

After watching both, they were both so-so, IMO, but I liked the Transformers more since the story didn't feel as horribly rushed. On the otherhand, with all the character developments in SM3, that movie should've been around 3 hours.

It didn't? I felt Transformers had horrible acting (Especially part where Sam runs into Barricade and talks about being followed by his car, I mean, WOW that was bad acting

) and it shouldn't have included Anthony "notsofunny" Anderson and John "humorme" Turturro. I mean Mack is one thing, but they should have left out those other gooffballs. Also, Spider-man had better romance

None of it worked out in Transformers. Transformers is fun to show off your equipment, but the story was worse than Spider-man.

mattym · 10-23-2007, 12:31 PM

i think the trilogy will sell better than 3 on its own, but i honestly dont think it will outsell TF in week 1. The simpsons or Pixar stuff might, but not Spidey.

MacDaddyOJack · 10-23-2007, 11:29 AM

I am as big a Blu-fan as the rest on this site and will not ever get any HD-DVD material. But with that being said, the first SM sucked, I hated the second, and have yet to see the third. I also loved transformers.... but not enough to ever go red or purple

I hope for our sake that SM does sell more but in my opinion, it could be pretty close.

sphdle1 · 10-23-2007, 11:43 AM

We can't let it even be close, because right now with Transformers, HDDUD has the bragging rights of the Highest selling High Def movie of all time, and Highest selling in its first day.

We can't allow them to keep this bragging right, so everyone must get Spider-man3 on Oct 30, and break their records and bragging rights. Blu will continue to outsell throughout the year with lots of big releases, but if we don't band together and get SM on Oct 30, HD DUD's will maintain their bragging rights as the highest selling in one day & first week.

I don't own any Blu equipment yet, but I'm going to buy SM on Oct 30 just for this reason. We can't let them pick up any more steam and prolong the war!
