New Line’s recent 3D movie, Journey to the Center of the earth has been listed for Blu-ray release on October 28th, 2008.
The Blu-ray will be a limted edition that features both 2D and 3D versions.
Retail is set at $35.99, Amazon lists it for $26.95.
The Blu-ray revenue and top 20 market share versus DVD both receded somewhat according to Home Media Magazine, which is hardly surprising for the week after the Transformers release.
Market share was 8% while the revenue was down 13% to $9.18M for the week - still respectable but not double figures.
Another import has been added to the Amazon list today.
Erin Brockovich will be released by MSI:TX2 on September 8th, 2008.
If you click on the image you can clearly see that it is the Japanese Sony release, which is region free.
Some great news for fans of Mike Meyers.
New Line Home Video has Austin Powers Collection coming to Blu-ray on December 2nd, 2008.
The set will contain the three Austin Powers movies in a Shagadelic Edition, loaded with extra mojo.
Amazon has another sale going on with up to 45% savings on a handful of Warner/New Line titles.
Titles include Shoot ‘Em Up, Pan’s Labyrinth, Mr Woodcock, Ocean’s Thirteen, Lady in the Water, The Fountain, Syriana and Rush Hour 3.
A Blu-ray release that I have been hoping for was listed today.
Warner Home Video will be releasing Run Fat Boy Run on Blu-ray on September 23rd, 2008. After the UK release was coded for Region B only, I was a bit worried that it might not get a US compatible release.
As previously mentioned, Universal Studios will be releasing Forgetting Sarah Marshall on Blu-ray Disc on September 30th, 2008. This movie featuring ‘Veronica Mars’ and ‘Jackie from That 70s Show’ is one of the better ones I have seen this year. Retail will be $39.98, only $26.95 at Amazon.
I must admit I was a little excited when I read that New Line is going to release Blow on Blu-ray Disc on the increasingly busy release date of September 23rd.
My excitement was a little short lived when I discovered that Warner appears to have taken over the New Line catalogue for real - and have infected New Line with their Dolby Digital sound tracks.
We have a number of weekend listings for you tonight.
Forbidden Kingdom, featuring Jet Li and Jackie Chan, will be released by Lions Gate on September 9th, 2008. Retail will be $39.99, the Amazon price - only $27.95.
In a fairly small week for Blu-ray releases by recent standards, we have some Day and Date releases from Warner and some catalogue releases from Sony.
First up from Warner we have Be Kind Rewind, the latest film from Michel Gondry. Michel is famous for his quirky movies including The Science of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (a personal favourite). New Line has presented us with a nice release including DTS-HD Master Audio 24bit 7.1 sound track and a number of featurettes. Save 31% at Amazon: $24.95
