Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for the Week of April 18th, 2010

Posted in Studios, US Releases on April 20th, 2010 by Dave

The Blu-ray Cover Art Gallery for the week of the 18th of April 2010 has a number of nice titles, the biggest one no doubt is the Earth Day (Apr 22nd) release of Avatar.

Be aware thought that this is not going to be a ‘be all and end all’ release - expect more later in the year, and then possibly a third release for 3D.

Peter Jackson is back on Blu-ray with his latest release The Lovely Bones, and there is a new Steven Spielberg catalog release with Minority Report.

The Batman series of movies are being released individually today, which means you can get the Tim Burton movies without having to also own the Joel Schumacher movies!
