The Dark Knight Closes in on 2 Million Units Sold Worldwide
A week after hitting store shelves, the Blu-ray release of Warner Brothers 'The Dark Knight' has sold over 1.7 Million units worldwide, shattering all previous Blu-ray sales records. The film, which stars Christian Bale as the caped-crusader, is set to break $1 Billion at the box office, and some execs feared that home video sales would be hurt by such success. Those fears were alleviated after selling through 600,000 Blu-ray units on the first day, and sales of the landmark title have been continuing at a record pace. The worldwide numbers include retail and rental sales in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Benelux, and Australia. The majority of sales came from US buyers, which bought over 1 Million units of the title. Blu-ray sales represented nearly 13% of all home media sales for the title, which sold 13.5 Million units on home video formats. In comparison, 'The Matrix' DVD release in 1999 - which is generally recognized as the title to spark sales of the format - sold 780,000 units in one week. The Blu-ray release of 'The Dark Knight' has more than doubled that accomplishment. Blu-ray has been recognized as one of the most wanted items this holiday season, and consumers are responding aggressively towards lower player prices and the high definition releases of many film favorites. Interest in the format has exploded as consumers budgets become tighter and they realize they can get the same or better movie watching experience in their home with Blu-ray for a lot less money.

QUOTE(mpyw @ Dec 19 2008, 03:31 PM) ...................... “The Dark Knight” is also gunning to overtake “Titanic” as the biggest domestic box office earner of all time.  Another 70 million to go and Christopher Nolan will be king of the world.  This post has been edited by fentanyl: Dec 19 2008, 03:54 PM |

QUOTE(rthj @ Dec 19 2008, 09:16 PM) not sure yet......i sold off my US set and waiting for my UK set to arrive.....one thing that is not on the US set is the behind the scene...which IMO are pretty good. the DVD has a behind the scene on how some of the scenes were shot after every episode. am not sure if this is included in the UK version. QUOTE The Substituted Extras (1080i) Regrettably this release does not have the original DVD extras: the "Making of" featurettes and the 'Planet Earth - The Future' feature and people felt let down. The message on the state of the planet is of course important and the studio underestimated the viewer's sentiment. But the extras included here, Dessert Lions and Snow Leopards from the BBC's Natural World in HD are interesting programmes in their own right and more amenable to repeated viewing. The biologist who tagged collars on the snow leopards died recently so that makes it even more valuable to watch. But it would be better to give us the original extras and have Natural World on a separate release. Which version to get? The US Discovery Channel version is truncated and has an American non-naturalist narrator so that is a non-starter. This UK version has the same encoding as the US BBC/Warner four-disc version (both region free) but has the extras on a fifth disc. It comes in a digipak which folds out. If you cannot live without the original extras then borrow the DVD. Amazon UK |

QUOTE(snowfire64 @ Dec 22 2008, 09:08 AM) Hi, I have a question. Blu ray movies always in full screen? Just bought dark knight yesterday and notice that some parts in the movie are in full screen(which is great) and some just in the middle with black on top and bottom. I'm using 1080p resolution. Btw, most outdoor scenes are in full screen. Thanks. QUOTE Since that prologue sequence was shot using IMAX cameras, the question arose how it would integrate with other sequences--whether Nolan would opt for 2.4:1 throughout the BD, or deliver dual aspect ratios to more closely approximate the full resolution of the source material. The question is now put to rest. Approximating the viewing experience in IMAX theaters, the Blu-ray version of The Dark Knight shifts between 1.78:1 and 2.4:1 sequences, which is a tremendous asset in preserving the vision of the filmmaker and in attempting to get an IMAX-like experience in viewers' home theaters.

 The Last Emperor - Criterion Collection QUOTE Visually breathtaking, Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor is a fascinating film mixing history with drama in a somewhat controversial fashion. The story of Pu Yi, the last of the great Chinese rulers, is told through a series of flashbacks highlighting key events from his coronation to his imprisonment by Mao's followers. Criterion’s Blu-ray release is an excellent opportunity to see this Oscar-winning film with a deserving transfer. Very Highly Recommended. Blu-ray.com |
