The lack of Blu-ray title announcements at this year's CES, as had become customary in previous years, has been a disappointment for many enthusiasts. However, some foreign sites have already published the local Blu-ray release schedules, including titles from the major international studios. This may be a useful reference for what's coming up in 2010, with some reservations.
Here is a select list of upcoming catalog titles from Disney, Fox, MGM, Sony and Warner in France (published by ecranlarge.com), excluding movies already released or officially announced in the US.

Note that even if a studio holds international rights to a movie, it may release it in different territories at different times. Also note that more titles may be announced, especially considering that (except with Warner) the above list only covers the first half of the year.
