Nielsen Prediction Thread for 14.03.08 (due Wednesday 12.03.08)

[Winn]

Both sides have a slim release slate this week. We'll start with Blu-ray and it's mighty three releases. Fox brings Ice Age and the awfully named Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium to Blu this week. They are joined by Disney's real life baseball classic The Rookie.

HD DVD sadly bids adieu to Paramount this week as they release their last HD DDVD title with Into The Wild. Pretty appropriate name for a last title, actually. They are joined by Dreamwork's last release with the also aptly named Things We Lost In the Fire. Things are rounded out with Warner's delayed release of No Reservations and Navarre's Mystic Forests.

There are no neutral releases this week.

As always, thanks to manikin for maintaining the release schedule.


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 March 7th will cover sales from February 25th-March 2nd, inclusive.
