The Format War

[hippie_hunter]

hippie, you need both Narnia's on Blu-ray, they are amazing in the technical department.

I figure that Disney will eventually double-dip on first film so I've been holding out.

 

[Downhere]

I figure that Disney will eventually double-dip on first film so I've been holding out.

I wouldn't put much stock in that though. Disney dropped Narnia and if they were going to double dip, it would have been with Prince Caspian. Honestly, the extended cut isn't really that much different from the theatrical. The current Blu-ray's are 5 star across the board for audio/video.

The Digital Bits said in the rumor mill today that they've heard Paramount is working on Blu-ray versions of both Wayne's World movies. Mine!

Does the blu-ray version at least have all the extras from the 4 disk DVD set?

I actually bought Boondock Saints today at Blockbuster for $25 . I was suprised to see it out already and picked it up immediately . The transfer is alot better . It's not the best transfer but there are some scenes where it really comes into play . It's worth the upgrade if your a fan of the movie.

Currently on Amazon.com for $55.99. Pretty cheap considering its Fox.

FOX has just issued a full PRESS RELEASE on the upcoming (April 21st) release of the “X-Men Trilogy” on Blu-ray Disc. Things are very surprising here. The “X3: The Last Stand” is a re-release as you’ll see revealed below in the list of bonus materials. Each release (or film in the trilogy) will include a 3-Disc set (a total of 9 for the box set). Disc 1 of each contains the film, Disc 2 for each contains bonus materials (to be discussed further in a moment below) and Disc 3 for each contains a Digital Copy of the film(s).

FOX plans to unveil a first BD-Live effort with an EXCLUSIVE preview trailer to the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” film as downloadable content. Each film will feature D-BOX motion code and on a separate note — pun intended — each will be available separately or in the box set (”X-Men Trilogy“) and are available for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon.com.


“X-Men“
“X-2: X-Men United“
“X3: The Last Stand“

“X-Men Trilogy“
(includes all three films, 9 discs toal)

For those curious at the exact details on bonus materials I’ve included the snippets from the PRESS RELEASE below for each film. Click continue reading below to view — P.S. I know this is EXTREMELY lengthy but this should excite “X-Men” fans.

WALL-E, Caspian DVD sales trail year-earlier titles

February 3, 2009
Walt Disney’s studio entertainment unit’s fiscal first-quarter earnings dropped 64% as DVD titles such as WALL-E and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian failed to keep pace with year-earlier releases such as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Ratatouille and High School Musical 2. The company, whose sales from older DVD titles also fell, said it was looking to cut costs related to its DVD marketing, production and distribution while possibly raising prices on some of its Blu-ray titles.

Studio entertainment operating earnings for the quarter ended Dec. 27 were $187 million, down from $514 million a year earlier. The division’s sales declined 26% to $1.94 billion and accounted for 20% of the parent company’s revenue, down from 25% a year earlier, the company said in a statement today.

Disney’s DVD sales were consistent with the broader decline in home entertainment demand last year, as the U.S. economic downturn caused customers to cut discretionary spending. Last year, U.S. home entertainment spending fell 5.7% from a year earlier to $21.7 billion despite Blu-ray Disc sales tripling to about $750 million, according to data compiled by Video Business and Rentrak.

"It's clear that the economy has had an impact on DVD sales," said Disney Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger on a conference call with analysts today. "We need to be more selective on what we choose to make and what we choose to distribute."

Iger added that, with many of Disney's Blu-ray titles including features such as a standard-definition of the film and other extras, the company may be able to raise prices on such titles.

Disney last year had about 12% of the U.S. home entertainment market, trailing Warner Home Video, News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Viacom’s Paramount Home Entertainment. WALL-E was the sixth best-selling DVD last year despite a Nov. 18 release date, while the studio’s Enchanted was No. 9. Disney’s No Country for Old Men tied Lionsgate’s 3:10 to Yuma as the third most-rented DVD of last year.

Overall, Disney’s net income fell 32% to $845 million, or 45¢ a share, from $1.25 billion, or 63¢, a year earlier, as sales fell 8.2% to $9.6 billion, the company said today. Disney, whose media networks and parks and resorts units also saw earnings declines, was expected to earn 53¢ a share on $10.17 billion, the average analyst estimates in a Thomson Financial survey.

Disney shares fell more than 7% in extended trading at about 5:30 p.m. Eastern time today.

Their profits are falling.

I say ditch the stupid Digital Copy idea. Who wants to sit and watch a movie on their 3-inch screens?

Then again, when they went with Blu-ray instead of HD DVD they knew they were going into the more expensive format anyway. Should've (and maybe did) seen this coming.

I do. They're good for trips.

I think the solution is rather simple when it comes to that situation. RELEASE MORE MOVIES FASTER. They try and make a big event out of every classic release. I say ditch that idea and flood the market with some of the catalog titles compared to what they are doing now. They literally have 100's of classic movies in their possession to sell.

Say guys, I know that when Terminator 3 was first released on Blu, there was an error and the picture was 1080i instead of 1080p. Did they ever release a corrected version?
