When you shop for Blu-ray discs, do you usually spend more money on new day-and-date releases or on catalog titles? Let us know in today’s poll.
\n<\/p>\n
Clearly, I expect that most readers of this site probably collect a variety of discs with a mixture of both some new and some catalog releases. What I’m looking for here is an indication of which you typically buy more<\/strong> of, on a week-to-week basis. When you walk into a store or shop online, are you more likely to focus on brand new movies that just came out of theaters first, or on older titles that you’ve seen and enjoyed in the past?<\/p>\n Judging by sales numbers, the majority of shoppers out there in the world are much more interested in new releases than catalog titles. Most catalog discs sell very poorly, which is why so many of the major Hollywood studios have taken to licensing those movies out to smaller distributors these days. Even some presumably big-ticket, “holy grail” titles have sold disappointingly.<\/p>\n Yet, personally, when I write up my weekly Blu-ray Highlights post, I almost always find myself gravitating toward the catalog discs. Is that just me? Where do you spend your dollars?<\/p>\n
