like Pursuit of Happyness and Rocky Balboa. Granted, those weren't nearly as popular as Casino Royale, but we'll see a similar ratio of BD:DVD sales during the opening week. Obviously there is a growing installed base of BD players and HDTVs. Maybe you're right--that probably can't account for all the sales we are seeing. Maybe collectors don't want to keep adding DVDs to their library because they may think BD has rendered standard DVDs obsolete. To go back to the SACD comparison, I know some people including yours truly who bought a couple single-layer SACDs before buying an SACD player, just to show interest in and support for the format.
