What are your first thoughts when you think about the movie studios and BD?

[coolmilo]

When a movie is announced for BD release, the first thing I focus is the actual movie (do I like the movie or not). Next, I determine which studio is releasing the BD. The combination of the movie and the studio releasing the BD help determine if I will purchase the movie or not. There are some studios that consistently release quality BD’s (title after title) and then there are some studios that mostly disappoint. After two years of purchasing Blu-ray movies, I’ve formed some opinions about the studios and the titles they release. The following are what comes to mind with respect to the big studios. What are your thoughts?


Sony: Great quality BD’s (PQ/SQ), not always the best movie selection in catalog, expensive.

Paramount/DreamWorks: Excellent BD’s (PQ/SQ), great movies in catalog, expensive.

Universal: Starting to produce top tier BD’s (PQ/SQ), excellent movies in catalog, reasonably priced catalog titles, expensive new releases.

Fox: Mostly excellent BD’s (PQ/SQ), both new releases and catalog releases are expensive.

Disney: Best quality BD’s (PQ/SQ), excellent movies catalog, reasonable prices.

Lionsgate: Usually well made BD’s (PQ/SQ), limited movie selection.

New Line: DNR, DNR, DNR!!!

Warner: Worst overall BD’s (PQ/SQ), excellent movie selection in catalog, ok pricing.
