New data from Home Media Research shows that Blu-ray is continuing to lead
in high definition media sales. As of August 5th, the top 10 best selling high
definition movies are all available on Blu-ray, and half of those exclusive to
the format. Warner Brother's '
300' leads the pack, followed by '
The
Departed', '
Casino Royale', '
Planet Earth', and '
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'.
Noticeably absent from the list is Universal who did not have a title which sold
enough copies to break into the top 20. Paramount made it to 17th with their
release of 'Babel', but if there wasn't a Blu-ray version of the title, it would
have fallen short making the list.
