Universal Ends HD DVD Support with 'Atonement'
Mon Mar 03, 2008 at 03:00 PM ETTags: Industry Trends, Universal (all tags)
Universal has confirmed that it will close the curtain on its HD DVD support with this month's release of 'Atonement.'
Although the studio has yet to issue a formal statement, when asked to comment on reports that it had pulled its planned Spring HD DVD release of 'Charlie Wilson's War,' a Universal rep confirmed to High-Def Digest that the studio will no longer issue new titles on the format following the March 18 HD DVD debut of 'Atonement.'
As we've previously reported, the studio waited only hours after Toshiba pulled the plug on HD DVD to announce its own intention to make the move to Blu-ray (at press time, Universal had yet to reveal plans for their first Blu-ray titles).
Today's confirmation from Universal leaves the studio with only one HD DVD title awaiting release prior to 'Atonement,' the March 11th debut of 'Fletch'
Universal's news follows Paramount/DreamWorks' announcement last week that they will end their HD DVD support with this week's releases of 'Into the Wild' and 'Things We Lost in the Fire.' This now leaves Warner as the last major studio still releasing HD DVD titles beyond this month (the studio has previously said that it will honor its pledge to continue dual-format releases through the end of May).
Needless to say, we'll keep you posted on further details of Universal's transition to Blu-ray as they're announced.

'American Gangster' HD DVD Tops VideoScan's Weekly High-Def Disc Sales Chart
Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 04:00 PM ETTags: Disc Sales, Universal (all tags)
Blu-ray may have officially won the high-def format war last week, but in a strange twist, the top selling high-def disc of the week was an HD DVD release.
Yes, you read right. Universal's 'American Gangster' -- released on the same day that Toshiba announced it would drop HD DVD support -- topped Neilsen VideoScan's First Alert high-def disc charts for the week ending February 24, 2008, outselling the top Blu-ray release ('Michael Clayton') by nearly 2:1.
Of course, the remaining nine titles on VideoScan's high-def best sellers chart were all Blu-ray titles, giving the format yet another weekly win in overall sales, with Blu-ray commanding 77% of all high-def disc sales for the week. (Thanks to Robert for the correction!)
A complete list of VideoScan's top ten high-def best sellers for the week follows below: (click linked titles to read our reviews)
1. American Gangster (HD DVD); INDEX: 100
2. Michael Clayton (Blu-ray); INDEX: 62.24

Universal Brings 'Atonement' to HD DVD
Thu Feb 28, 2008 at 04:30 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Universal (all tags)
Underlining the continued confusion surrounding Universal's transition to Blu-ray support, the studio today confirmed a March HD DVD arrival for the Oscar-nominated epic, 'Atonement.'
Though Universal announced early last week that it would switch alliances from HD DVD to Blu-ray, the studio has yet to put a timetable on the transition, telling us as recently as last Friday that the fate of their entire upcoming HD DVD slate was in flux.
Adding to the confusion, today Universal confirmed earlier retail reports that it is planning an HD DVD/DVD Combo debut of the Keira Knightley-James McAvoy epic romance 'Atonement' for March 18 (day-and-date with the standard DVD release).
Although the HD DVD version lacks any U-Control features or other exclusives, the healthy supplement package includes audio commentary with director Joe Wright, deleted scenes with optional commentary, and two making-of featurettes ("The Making of Atonement," "From Novel to Screen").
Tech specs for the HD DVD feature 1080p/VC-1 video and English, French and Spanish Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround and subtitle options (no high-res audio has been announced for the release).
Rounding out Universal's announcement, they've supplied a high-res look at the HD DVD's cover art:

Suggested list price for the HD DVD/DVD Combo is $39.98.
You'll find complete specs for 'Atonement' linked from our HD DVD Release Schedule, where it's indexed under March 18.

Universal: HD DVD Plans in Flux
Fri Feb 22, 2008 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Industry Forecasts, Universal (all tags)
With Universal having thrown its weight behind Blu-ray earlier this week, the studio says the fate of its remaining HD DVD releases is currently TBD.
Though the studio has yet to make any formal announcements, when asked to confirm recent retail reports that it was planning a March 18 HD DVD debut for the Oscar nominee 'Atonement,' a Universal rep told us that the studio's entire HD DVD slate is currently in flux -- leaving open the possibility that it may not issue any more titles in the format.
As for which titles might be affected by such a move, prior to Tuesday's announcement, Universal had only confirmed two upcoming HD DVD releases: the Chevy Chase comedy 'Fletch' (due March 11), and the Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts starrer, 'Charlie Wilson's War' (which had been planned for sometime in the April-May timeframe).
At press time, the majority of titles on the HD DVD release schedule were split between Warner and Paramount/DreamWorks. As we've previously reported, Warner recently reiterated their intention to continue supporting the format until the end of May, while Paramount has yet to set a timetable for its own move to Blu-ray (just this week, the studio issued fresh details for two upcoming HD DVD releases, 'Sweeney Todd' and 'There Will Be Blood.')
We'll keep you posted on any changes to the HD DVD release schedule as soon as official information comes to us.

Universal Cancels 'Dazed & Confused,' 'Land of the Dead' HD DVD Re-Issues
Fri Feb 08, 2008 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Street Date Changes, Universal (all tags)
Sorry, combo haters: Universal has pulled the previously-announced HD DVD non-combo re-issues of 'Dazed & Confused' and 'Land of the Dead' from its high-def schedule.
As we've previously reported, back in December the studio announced plans to re-issue 'Land of the Dead' and 'Dazed & Confused' as HD DVD-only versions on March 11. Both titles had originally been released in 2006 as HD DVD/DVD combos back in 2006, and those versions were expected to go out of print once current retailer inventories were depleted.
Universal gave no reason for the cancellation of the re-issues, but a studio rep tells us they may resurface at some point in the future, and the current combo versions of the titles will remain on the market until further notice.
Given this news, we've moved our listings for the 'Land of the Dead' and 'Dazed & Confused' re-issue versions to the "Street Dates Postponed" section of our HD DVD Release Schedule.
For full details on the HD DVD/DVD combo versions of both titles, you can read our full-length reviews of 'Land of the Dead' and 'Dazed & Confused.'

Universal Reveals Early 'Charlie Wilson's War' HD DVD Plans
Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Universal (all tags)
Making a rare "pre-announce," Universal says it is planning an early Spring HD DVD bow for the Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts hit 'Charlie Wilson's War.'
Although the studio stopped short of issuing an exact street date for the Mike Nichols-directed political satire (which is currently winding down its run in theaters), it's promising an HD DVD/DVD Combo edition sometime in April, day-and-date with a matching standard DVD.
There are no tech specs yet, but both versions are set to share a pair of featurettes, "The Making of Charlie Wilson's War," and "Who is Charlie Wilson?" featuring interviews with cast & crew including Hanks, Roberts, co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman and Nichols).
The HD DVD version also promises to include as-yet-unannounced exclusive features. Needless to say, we'll keep you posted.
Universal has set a suggested list price of $39.98 for the HD DVD/DVD combo.
While we await a final street date and complete details for 'Charlie Wilson's War,' we've added a listing for the title in the "Release Dates Pending" section of our HD DVD Release Schedule. Stay tuned!

Amazon Offers Select HD DVD Titles at 57 Percent Off List
Sun Feb 03, 2008 at 02:26 PM ETTags: Amazon, Universal, High-Def Retailing (all tags)
In the latest in a series of high-def disc deals, Amazon is offering at least 50% off dozens of HD DVD titles from Universal Pictures.
The promo was launched Sunday by the web merchant, and includes a list of popular titles from the studio, totaling 103 in all.
Among the discs included in the offer are such fan favorites as 'Shaun of the Dead,' 'Elizabeth' and 'Inside Man,' the majority of which are being offered for just $14.95 a piece (view complete list of titles and prices).
This new HD DVD sale at Amazon comes on the heels of a similar sale from Warner on both formats. (That earlier Warner sale continues, though prices have creeped up slightly since its launch last weekend.)
At press time there was no word on how long this latest HD DVD deal would be offered by Amazon, although it's being billed as a limited time offer. For a full list of eligible titles and more information, click the link to Amazon below.
As always, you'll find up-to-the-minute information on these and other sales spotted in-store and online in the HD DVD bargains and Blu-ray bargains areas of our forums.
Thanks to Justin Y. for the tip!

Universal: "No Plans" to Abandon HD DVD
Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 09:00 AM ETTags: Universal (all tags)
Fending off continued speculation that Universal is mulling a switch from HD DVD-exclusivity, Universal Studios VP (and HD DVD Promo Group Co-Chair) Ken Graffeo says that the studio has no plans to make any changes in its high-def strategy.
In a just-published interview with BetaNews.com, Graffeo termed reports that Universal is wavering in its support of HD DVD as "unsubstantiated," saying the studio has "no plans to make any changes."
Graffeo went on to point to Universal's recent announcement of 'American Gangster' on HD DVD as proof of its continued commitment to HD DVD, promising "a lot of other things" to come.
Asked whether he regretted the eleventh hour cancelation of the HD DVD Promo Group's CES press conference (a move that some interpreted at the time as a white flag from the group), Graffeo said the timing of Warner's surprise Blu-ray exclusivity announcement two days before left the group with little choice.
"Imagine the orchestration of a press event with the presenters, the scripts, the entire presentation, videos that were produced," explained Graffeo. "The crew was already setting up and we were on a plane on Friday, so not being able to get back to everyone to say 'how do we make a change for Sunday' was very difficult. And what are the answers? We had no idea because we were reading and hearing about Warner's move the same time everyone else was."

Universal Sets 'American Gangster' HD DVD Date
Fri Jan 18, 2008 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Universal (all tags)
After teasing us with early specs, Universal has finally announced a February arrival for the Denzel Washington blockbuster 'American Gangster.'
In an unusual pre-announcement, late last year the studio issued detailed specs and box art for the $100 million-plus Ridley Scott Oscar hopeful without providing an exact street date.
Now they've confirmed a widely-rumored February 19 day-and-date arrival on HD DVD/DVD combo and standard-def DVD, and have issued final specs for the release.
As previously announced, extras shared across all versions will include audio commentary with Scott and writer Steven Zaillian, the "Uncovering the Past: The Real Frank Lucas and Richie Roberts" documentary, and deleted scenes (including an alternate opening).
Exclusive to the HD DVD is a U-Control picture-in-picture video commentary featuring Scott, Zaillan and stars Washington and Russell Crowe. Web-enabled content includes a bonus deleted scene "Frank & Eva's Wedding," the ability to share your favorite MyScenes selections with other online users, interactive polling and access to movie trailers for other Universal HD DVD titles.
Although the concurrently-released standard DVD versions will include a 174-minute extended cut of the film, the HD DVD side of the combo version will include only the original 157-minute theatrical cut. (Curiously, the DVD flipside of the discwill contain the extended cut.)
Tech specs for the HD DVD include 1080p/VC-1 video, and a Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround track (1.5mbps), along with a French dub. (Earlier reports had suggested a Dolby TrueHD track.)
Suggested retail for the HD DVD/DVD combo has been set at $39.98.
You'll find disc details for 'Ameican Gangster' linked from our HD DVD Release Schedule, where it's indexed under February 19.

Universal Re-Affirms HD DVD Support
Thu Jan 10, 2008 at 06:39 PM ETTags: Industry Trends, Universal (all tags)
Responding to published reports that its commitment to backing HD DVD exclusively has ended, Universal has issued a new statement of support for HD DVD.
"Contrary to unsubstantiated rumors from unnamed sources, Universal's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format," said Ken Graffeo, executive vice president of HD strategic marketing for Universal Studios Home Entertainment and co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group.
Graffeo's comments follow a report in yesterday's Variety that Universal's agreement to exclusively support HD DVD had ended and had not been renewed. The report went on to speculate that both Universal and Paramount could switch sides soon, ending the high-def format war instantly.
A Universal spokesperson told us this afternoon that the studio plans to issue new upcoming HD DVD title announcements in the near future.
The HD DVD Promotions Group is also said to be planning its own statement regarding the rumors of a Universal switch to format neutrality.
Stay tuned...
