Why do we have this thread? And why am I posting in it? Oh wait! Is that 2 questions?

By my calculations, wait... (carry the 1) ... its three! But its okay because this thread doesn't really exist, therefore, you did not post in it

I agree with the consensus in that QoS will sell better on Blu but Twilight will take DVD.

I can't believe the hype for Twilight; I heard from 2 sources that I tend to agree with that the book is not good and the movie is not (granted this has mostly to do with taste). But to each his own I guess.

QoS

Plus I can not wait to watch CR then jump right into QoS!

[Cplhicks]

Definitely Bond. Teenage girls usually could care less about picture quality.

My brother and I watched the last half-hour of CR just before heading to the theatre for QoS (Didn't have time to watch the whole thing).

I just hope we don't get cheated and have them put out a "Special Edition" one year later

On the other hand, there are parents like me, who will rush out and get QoS first day but would be too embarassed to have Twilight in my shopping cart.


QoS will of course have the highest overall sales in the long run (it will still be selling years from now everytime they re-release the Bond movies in whatever new version/format).

Are you a teen girl? Can you really say it's a bad movie when you're not the target audience? Didn't think so...

Anyways, I would say Quantum of Solace. Like some have said, more of the target audience for QoS have a BD player. Also, it's a James Bond movie, so it will sell plenty based on that fact alone. I don't plan on buying it right away, but I will someday.

Twilight will do better
that fan base is something else

Tough to say. I know a lot of people feel QoS is really awful, myself included, so Im just not sure how well that will sell. Then again, Twilight is some emo romance vampire movie. I cant see the kind of people that would care about Twilight being the type to invest in home theater equipment. some will of course, but not a huge amount, so either way I dont think either will be huge on BD, but Id have to give it to QoS. The movie sucks, but it's still Bond, and Bond sells.

On blu-ray it's hard to say, initially I would imagine Bond would, especially since it's not a timed exclusive.

Also I'm not sure how many people buying Twilight are big high-def fans, I'll be buying it...but only because my fiance wants it, and I'll be buying Bond for myself.

So...in the end. I think Twilight will destroy Bond on DVD, but they'll be about even, maybe Bond ahead a bit on blu-ray.

I purchased both and I'd have to go with QOS selling better. Both movies I thought were good both nothing great by any means. Bond appeals more to the type that buys home theater equipment as blu-ray isn't full blown mainstream with the public yet. The cliche' on Twilight appealing to mostly teens though...i'd disagree....I know a lot of older females and even males (got dragged to see it by their gf's) that liked Twilight.

What about women whos boyfriends/husbands have BD players? My wife's gonna get Twilight on BD the day its released and I'm getting it QOS ofcourse.

[JamesKurtovich]

Twilight.

[jceperley]

On Blu, it'll be Quantum (simply because Summit is such a pathetic studio and probably can only afford to manufacture enough Twilight BDs to meet the orders placed by Best Buy and Target).
But I think Bolt will be the big title next week.

[toneloctr]

I hope its Quantum, I thought Twilight was awful, Quantum wasnt the best Bond movie but it was way better than Twilight.
