Source: Akamai Bottom line: The Blu-ray format is doing quite well compared to standard DVD, and especially well given the recent recession. Home video sales in general are also finally starting to recover from the recession. All so thats the latest on the Blu-ray format from last weeks Blu-Con 2010 industry conference. We finally have an anticipated street date for Disneys Bambi: Diamond Edition Blu-ray. Look for it to arrive in stores on 3/1/ Meanwhile, Sony has set Easy A for Blu-ray and DVD release on 12/21 SRP 95 and 95, followed by Animal Kingdom on both formats on 1/18/11 SRP also 95 and And Paramount and Comedy Central have set Gabriel Iglesias: Im Not Im Fluffy for Blu-ray release on 1/11/ Heres a look at the cover art for DreamWorks Dinner for Schmucks due 1/4/11, along with Sonys Easy A and El Mariachi/Desperado: Double Feature also Okay, with a little luck Ill be back later tonight definitely by tomorrow morning with that big new Blu-ray title review. The aforementioned James Cameron MIGHT have had a little something to do with it. Stay Okay, more interesting announcement news First, DreamWorks and Paramount have officially announced the Blu-ray and DVD release of the comedy Dinner for Schmucks on 1/4/ Extras will include deleted scenes and 5 featurettes including The Biggest Schmucks in the World, The Men Behind the Mouseterpieces, Meet the Winners, Schmuck Ups and Paul and Steve: The Decision, all in HD. The DVD will include just the deleted scenes and 2 featurettes The Biggest Schmucks in the World and Schmuck Ups. Also, Warner Home Video has just announced The West Wing for high-def digital distribution via iTunes, Amazon and various VOD providers, though no Blu-ray release has yet been announced. I know there was at least some talk within the studio of releasing The West Wing on Blu-ray, but theres been nothing since. Weve got a couple additional follow-up notes about MGMs new MOD program that we mentioned the other day. First, the initial plans call for the program to feature MGM catalog titles only. Also, there are no current plans to add Fox titles, though that could obviously change in the future. The first titles will go on sale around mid-December. And Fox is currently working to enlist specific retailers to the program, so well know more in a few weeks which will be carrying the titles Amazon, Best Buy, etc. Rest assured, well post additional details as they come in. And one follow up to the Ben-Hur Blu-ray art post from yesterday. Yes, were aware that Ben-Hur came out in 1959, so 2011 cant be the 50th Anniversary release. As I noted in yesterdays post, the cover art is subject to change and likely will. Keep in mind, if youll recall from our past discussions with WHV, Ben-Hur was originally planned to be released on Blu-ray in 2009 or 2010, but the studio decided that they really needed to take the time to redo the films HD transfer right for Blu-ray release. In any case, were likely still at least a few months away from the official announcements of these titles. Rest assured, well post more details as they come in. Now then, Ill have more to say about Blu-Con next week. But as many of you know, I moderated a panel discussion at the event this past Tuesday, entitled Film Classics: New Opportunities for Blu-ray Catalog. My panelists included Jeff Baker Executive Vice President General Manager of Theatrical Catalog at Warner Home Video, Rita Belda Director of Asset Management for Film Restoration and Digital Mastering at Sony Pictures Entertainment, Bob Buchi Senior Vice President of Marketing at Paramount Home Entertainment and Dave Shaw Senior Vice President Marketing at Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. We only had about 40 minutes, and its pretty tough to really go in-depth on such a complex subject roxanne moulin rouge dance so little time. Still, we managed to cover a wide range of topics related to bringing classic catalog titles to the Blu-ray format, and I think it was a pretty interesting discussion. As it happens, our old friends Ron Epstein and Adam Gregorich from the excellent Home Theater Forum we on-hand to cover the event. Not only did they post an excellent live report on Blu-con over at the HTF, they also managed to capture pictures AND video of my panel. So here they are for all of you to check out! Do keep in mind that Blu-Con is a conference for industry insiders not consumers so my questions to the panelists reflect that fact. My moderating approach at these kinds of industry events is very different that it would be, say, at Comic-Con. Still, I think youll find what the panelists had to say pretty interesting. So I hope you enjoy it. Note that the video is available in 5 parts on YouTube, of which the clip below is the first the other 4 parts should appear for selection when this first clip finishes, and you can also find them here on YouTube: 2, 3, 4 and 5 Id like to express my thanks to Jeff, Rita, Bob and Dave for a great panel, to Mark, Lyndsey, Amy Jo and everyone at Blu-Con for the opportunity to moderate again this year, and especially to Ron and Adam for their excellent coverage. Finally today, I wanted to let you all know that even though the DVD and BD street dates are still a week or two off the first chance for most of you to see The Complete Metropolis in high-def happens THIS WEEKEND! Those of you who have Turner Classic Movies on your cable or satellite service will be pleased to know that The Complete Metropolis makes its TV debut Sunday at 8PM on TCM.
