Blu-ray wins two more backers, while HD DVD looks doomed
Lions Gate Home Entertainment (LGHE), a division of Lions Gate
Entertainment (NYSE: LGF; Toronto), announced today that it will
release content on the new high definition Blu-ray Disc format. As part
of its cooperation with the Blu-ray Disc Association, LGHE will begin
releasing new films, TV programming and other titles from the company's
vast library in that format when Blu-ray hardware launches in North
America.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox, and Buena
Vista Home Entertainment (Disney) were all previously on board.
Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures has put their HD DVD plans on hold, and
NBC Universal has scaled back their release plans for the holiday.
Among the big hitters in the computing industry, Apple, Dell, Sony
(obviously), HP, and Philips (among others) remain committed to
Blu-ray. HD DVD's backing is considerably weaker, although Microsoft's
role in HD DVD remains unclear. Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema, and
Universal Pictures are still officially supporting HD DVD. For now.
