I had 74:26 incorrect; that was the number 2/3/4 weeks ago (I forget). Week ending 12/9/07 was 76:24 with POTC3 and Superbad (Blu-ray) vs. BattleStar Galactica (HD DVD) (hardly fair).
This week will be more interesting. Bourne Ultimatum should be big for HD DVD, Legend of Zorro, Lost for Blu-ray. And Harry Potter on both formats (HD DVD got a break; some of the Blu-ray box sets had both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs in them (!) - big whoops for Warners).
Numbers keep fluctuating based on popularity of new releases, Blu-ray is staying ahead but the recent weeks have suggested to me HD DVD has picked it up a bit (except for last week).
