Nielsen Prediction Thread for 29.02.08 (due Wednesday 27.02.08)

[Winn]

The war is over but it looks like we might get numbers for a while longer. Oh, and we cannot let the last thread end with everyone going over. We have to have some dignity around here.

HD DVD (R.I.P.) is going to be doing the zombie thing for a while. While formally dead, there are still a few last gasps. All HD DVD releases are now, at best, timed exclusives likely to make their way to Blu sooner or later.

Warner's Invasion finally gets a formal release. Universal's American Gangster is also out this week.

Blu-ray has Warner's release of Michael Clayton and In the Valley of Elah. There are also several concerts from Eagle's Rock and Sony's Run Lola Run.

Obviously, the big news that will impact sales is Toshiba announcing the end of HD DVD.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make your prediction with BD:HD even if you are going to predict HD DVD winning the week. Also, you are predicting the BD numbers, the HD DVD is implied. If I am confused, I will ask you for clarification if there is time before the deadline. Otherwise, you are stuck with how I read it.

The prediction period will close at 5 P.M Eastern time. That is 2 P.M. for those of you in Pacific time. This will get us ahead of the leaks. The numbers on February 29thwill cover sales from February 18th-February 24th, inclusive.
