25 Top Grossing Movies Of 2007 With Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Numbers

Using the list from zap2it, I took the 25 top grossing movies of 2007 to analyze the impact on the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD format war and what is/will be available. The amount of money is the box office at the theater. I started to use the top 15 but seeing that Blu-Ray was in a better overall position, I took the whole list to see if HD-DVD would improve. I kept the Top 15 numbers anyway for comparison. 25 Top Grossing Movies of 2007

Total gross: $4,476,481,405.00 The Top 15 Total Blu-Ray: 8 (53%) ($1,610,382,055 or 201M/movie) Total HD-DVD: 4 (26%) ($1,016,317,000 or 254M/movie) Total Blu-Ray/HD-DVD: 3 (20%) ($669,694,914 or 223M/movie) Blu-Ray is the bigger winner from the list with 11 movies or 73% being available to the Blu-Ray format. HD-DVD is not too far behind with 7 movies or 46%. Blu-ray only movies grossed 21% less money per movie than HD-DVD and 10% less than Blu-Ray/HD-DVD That should reflect in media sales later on. I Am Legend is still in theater and the gap may fall a little. 8 movies were sequels. Blu-Ray had 5 and HD-DVD had 2. Only 1 for Blu-Ray/HD-DVD The top 25 Total Blu-Ray: 12 (48%) ($2,064,171,216 or 172M/movie) Total HD-DVD: 8 (32%) ($1,506,588,702 or 188M/movie) Total Blu-Ray/HD-DVD: 5 (20%) ($905,721,487 or 181M/movie) Blu-Ray is the bigger winner from the list with 17 movies or 68% being available to the Blu-Ray format. HD-DVD is not too far behind with 12 movies or 48%. Blu-ray only movies grossed 9% less money per movie than HD-DVD and 5% less than Blu-Ray/HD-DVD. That should reflect in media sales later on. A few more movies are still in theater and the gap will favor Blu-ray. American Gangsters and Bee Movie will make much less than Alvin and the Chipmunks or Enchanted that are just a few weeks old. HD-DVD gain a a few percent points against Blu-ray. Only 1 more sequels by Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Conclusion I noticed that Blu-Ray only movies made more money overall than HD-DVD. With many sequels, Blu-Ray played safe thus getting less money per movie but releasing more movies . The top 5 were occupied by 4 sequels. The 5th will also have a sequel. All 5 were big summer movies. Those are the facts based on those numbers. Will the list next year will be all: Blue, Red or Black? Store On Amazon:
