View Full Version : Which Studio Dominates your HD media rack?
Warner Bros for me. Universal a close second, Sony-Columbia would be third, then dis/buena, fox and lionsgate tie, and the only paramount title I have is the blu shooter.
Wonder if WB dominates most peoples racks.
If so they may in fact be the key studio as opposed to the common fav disney/buena vista.
Lee Stewart 09-02-07, 02:08 PM NONE. I buy by movie title not by studio
I do too. I just noticed that the WB logo was a third of my collection. I could care less about the studio. I just wanted to see if WB hogs up alot of other peoples racks.
Dare's User Name 09-02-07, 02:27 PM Yep. Half are WB.
Timothy Ramzyk 09-02-07, 02:29 PM Warner
Slim GoodBooty 09-02-07, 02:29 PM Universal and WB.
Ratio's and percentages would be interesting.
Here's my HD studio count after the big Amazon sale:
Sony Pictures...11
Warner...8
Universal...7
Buena Vista Home Entertainment...4
Paramount...3
20th Century Fox...2
MGM...2
Discovery Channel...1
DVD International...1
Weinstein Company...1
Interesting. If I look at my combined DVD/HD DVD/BD collection I get:
Warner...66
Sony Pictures...62
20th Century Fox...45
MGM...39
Paramount...34
Universal...33
Walt Disney...26
New Line...14
Buena Vista Home Entertainment...12
Lion's Gate...11
Dreamworks...9
Miramax...8
Criterion...7
Others...a bunch
EDIT: Added 2 more Sony titles for $27 while visiting Fry's
Interesting stuff guys. This site seems less "flamey" than my old forum
WarnerBros: 33
Universal: 20
Paramount: 16
StudioCanal/Kinowelt: 14
EagleRock: 4
other: 16
Surprisingly, Universal+StudioCanal/Kinowelt lead the list (I consider them as studio family, since each Studiocanal and Kinowelt disc carries the Universal logo).
Of the one's I have on hand (I think I have at least 10 on the way) here's the breakdown:
1. Disney - 8
2. Paramount - 7
3. Sony - 7
4. Warner - 7
5. Fox - 5
6. LionsGate - 1
For a total of 35. I'm counting Planet Earth as Warner, cuz I don't recall who distributes it off the top of my head; but know it's dual format.
I'll have to check the one's I have on order. Note that my Warner collection would be bigger if they would release more of the so-far HD DVD exclusives on BD. Also, Paramount titles are weighted a little more as I bought all the ones I wanted from them once they announced no more BD. Also note that 5 of these in this collection were free, one from each studio.
I've had my PS3 since the first of July, so we'll see how things go from here. I would expect Warner, Fox, Disney, Sony to be waited higher than Uni or Para (for obvious reasons) going forward. Uni may be my least popular studio, now that I think about it. They have a few great movies, but not a large quantity of them. Favorite studio for quantity & taste overall is Warner.
Not counting my wife and kid's Disney Vault. Fox and New Line lead my SD-DVD collection.
Also who is Dimension, Miramax, and Atrisan affiliated with?
aaronwt 09-02-07, 03:02 PM I have no idea. I can't say that I look at the studio when buying a title except to see if they are format neutral in which case I will usually get the HD DVD version.
well take a look at the logos on the spine and see if one jumps out at ya. That's how I noticed. I don't have a favorite studio. Just thought some community info on teh subject might be of interest.
obispo21 09-02-07, 03:12 PM In order...
1. Warner
2. Universal
3. Disney
4. Paramount
5. Sony
6. Fox

A - lgate
Too bad that would make The Doors a BR release. I am format neutral, but I lean.
Sisko197 09-02-07, 04:04 PM 1) WB
2) Sony
3) Universal
4) Disney
5) Fox
6) Paramount
7) Lionsgate
8) Weinstein
9) Dreamworks
So you see why I think the Paramount announcement does not affect me so much for the moment unless Paramount decides to change its release schedule/operations.
dad1153 09-02-07, 04:23 PM Warner by far, with Universal a distant second. Weinstein 3rd and Magnolia 4th (for only one movie, "The Host"). HD-DVD only! :)
PLC1843 09-02-07, 04:26 PM Universal followed by Warner and Paramount.

I honestly don't know. It seems like most of my recent purchases are from Universal but I didn't do that on purpose.
Warner followed by Universal

Now, this stuff is interesting. Real numbers that break down a studio's importance to an enthusiast.
Btw, Miata, do you have a Miata? /me 1999 10AE
Universal because I only have HD DVD. When I will start buying BD it will be Universal and Fox.
cobolisdead 09-03-07, 02:13 AM Universal dominates my HD DVD collection. I have a few WB movies, but most of mine are Universal.

Nice. I had a 2000 SE until I rolled it over about a year and a half ago. Now, I'm half and inch shorter and drive an RX-8 with a 5 star NHTSA roll-over rating:o I didn't think RX-8 would make a good forum name.
sivartk 09-03-07, 05:01 PM Probably Universal, but then I only have about 15 titles anyway (5 of them being free)

Quel surprise! LOL
But I thought you also had some sort of BD player, laptop or otherwise, ... what's the real studio lineup then?
Oh nevermind ... why bother asking that of you? ROFL :)
I'd go out from my office into my living room, but I'm too lazy right now, what's your excuse?

His job depends on not giving you a straight answer. I bet when he's not online, he's secretly watching various Fox, Buena Vista and Sony BDs.
allargon 09-03-07, 07:09 PM Warner dominates my HD-DVD collection. It's because of the $13 catalog sales at Fry's. Moreover, all of the nature stuff from Discovery/BBC and National Geographic comes from Warner as well.
R Miyashiro 09-04-07, 07:11 AM Sony (MGM/Orion/Columbia) has the biggest chunk of my HD collection (about 1/3 of my titles) followed by Universal. This is even with considering DVD collections like Rescue Me and Heroes as one title. I'm not a big fan of Warner and Paramount movies although I love their television shows, so for me going dual format was a must from the start.
Maybe proof that paramount wasn't the megaton everyone thought it was.
And I lean toward the red side, so this is not a "blu-ray is ok!" post
B Leisle 09-06-07, 03:13 PM NONE. I buy by movie title not by studio LOL, that wasn't the point of the thread. I seriously doubt anyone buys movies because it comes from "their favorite studio"!
For me:
Warner by far the most, then one or two from just about all the other major studios.
hd nOOb 09-06-07, 03:15 PM Warner & Universal.
GmanAVS 09-06-07, 03:19 PM Universal 62
Warner 48
Other 13
But have to say Warner's titles are the ones I've been watching over and over :):)
bboisvert 09-06-07, 03:29 PM I'm pretty sure that it would be Warner followed closely by Universal for me.
Universal ...8
Warner .....5
Paramount 4
Weinstein ..1
Magnolia ....1

Total ........21
Plus, in shipping 1 Uni & 2 WB. (Hopefully soon to arrive) on BD, the 5 free, 1 Sony, 1 Par, 1 WB, 1 Fox, 1 BV.

JJJschmitt 09-06-07, 04:30 PM 1st - Universal
2nd - Warner
UxiSXRD 09-06-07, 04:38 PM No one major studio. Right now I probably have the most high def in Sony but it's probably not more than by a few titles. If I remember, i'll itemize tonight.
Sooooooooo... if Warner decides to back a certain format then THAT may be the straw to break the proverbial digital camels high definition back. And so far all their love has been going to the red team with what appear to be "timed exclusives" such as Matrix, V, Potter. If you play video games than you know all about the "timed exclusives"(they stink! In or out buddy!). Wonder if that means that Warner is leaning red. Do they like the combo disc idea(I do, for the kiddies), or receiving payola from Toshiba (no clue but I doubt it.)?
I am not going pretend to have any idea as to why. But if Warner walks down the red path than I would imagine disney/buena/miramax to be hot on their heels. Disney thought divx ruled for god's sake. And look at my screen name before you say I hate blu-ray. My collection reached the perfectly neutral 22 blu and 22 red two nights ago! (Thank you T2 and Running Scared imports.)
JoeInNVa 09-07-07, 10:46 AM NONE. I buy by movie title not by studio
QFT!!!
FIRST!
QFT!!!
FIRST!
Not meant as a "Favorite Studio" thread. Just the opposite, I NOTICED that most of my HDM was Warner. I have never bought any movie based upon who released it. I doubt many people have.

Oh, Ok...Then I change my answer...
I never have, nor will I, care enough to look...
Jerry Curl 09-07-07, 01:51 PM Warner barely edges out as the most HD movies I have from one studio (9). Universal is 2nd with 8.
aristotles 09-07-07, 01:53 PM Sony now dominates my HD titles.
faux123 09-07-07, 08:20 PM Here's my High Definition Movie (only) breakdown:
Universal ----> 58
Sony -----> 42
Columbia -----> 11 (part of Sony)
WB -----> 49 ( all in HD DVD format except 1 title)
BuenaVista -----> 19
Paramount -----> 18 (All in HD DVD)
Fox -----> 13
LionsGate -----> 7
Weinstein -----> 7
Magnolia -----> 6 (All HD DVD)
MGM -----> 6
Dreamworks ----> 4 (All HD DVD)
Misc Studios -----> 11

Total 251 combined HD DVD/Blu-Ray titles
Hm... Interesting stats surprised myself. My collection has more Blu-ray exclusives compared to HD DVD exclusives. If it weren't for my preference for HD DVD format, had I been Blu, I would have almost 3 to 1 Blu-Ray to HD DVD titles. Hm....
