Prometheus Breaks Blu-ray Revenue Share Record
Last week when Prometheus on Blu-ray debuted on shelves in the US and the UK, the Ridley Scott directed movie dominated the overall package media and Blu-ray only sales chart. An awesome feat on its own, but here’s another thing: “not only did Prometheus’ sales totals top other home media competitors, but it garnered an HD market share of 76%, which bested the record Blu-ray market share of 72% that The Avengers enjoyed during its first week on the small screen“, according to Blu-ray.com.
All of this is great news for Prometheus fans, 20th Century Fox, and for the progress of the Blu-ray medium as a whole. But to those who have or know about the Prometheus collector’s edition (3D) Blu-ray set with its enormous amount of deleted scenes and other bonus features for a price no different than many standard edition Blu-ray movies, this sales achievement shouldn’t be a surprise.
Thanks to PrometheusForum user Carrot for the news.
awesome news! I cant wait to see how the haters will spin this
Sequel should get the green light (crosses fingers)
Hasn’t it already? They announced it a while back, Scott is in, Lindelof is most likely out, release date 2014/15.
Hopefully this will be Scott’s next film, since The Counselor is in postproduction.
It proves nothing. Are you saying just because that stupid K-pop dance track “Gungang style” is selling like mad, its good art or good music?
Obviously, visually the movie is good. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a very flawed movie.
He wasn’t claiming it “proved” anything Mr. Strawman, he was just looking forward too seeing how someone could put a negative spin on this somehow.
“Gungang style” IS amazing
i guess you have no taste, JasonB.HACK/!
news flash everything is flawed as flaws are subjective idiot
Haters are crying themselves to sleep!
No, we laughing ourselves awake! You kiddin?
““Gungang style” IS amazing
i guess you have no taste, JasonB.HACK/!”
Thank you for that. It just proves my point. If you think Gaygan style is amazing, you sure *deserve* this movie. Love it, embrace it. Keep living in your bubble. Dont forget to get the latest Taylor Swift cd. Its got a song on there called “Sad Beautiful Tragic”. Its really got a deep meaning…
Gaygan? Are you 12? You’re not helping your case…
I just want to see shaw kicking david’s head around like a football for killing her boyfriend
and the reproductive system of an engineer as forget about a horse probably an elephant LOL
“and the reproductive system of an engineer as forget about a horse probably an elephant LOL” – uh, what? Google translate, is that you?
I think they’re talking about how well hung the engineers are.

My personal opinion but new release films in general, including 3D should not cost more than $20. I picked up both the Avengers 3D and Prometheus 3D Bluray packs for this price. I love Bluray but I am really looking forward to 4K/5K films and TV’s in the near future. Many people don’t know this or even care but Prometheus was shot digitally with state of the art Epic Red cameras. I believe the new Hobbit film was shot with them as well and some other films. So be prepared in the near future to see Prometheus in 4/5K which is insane detail.

5K is the resolution used in theatres to project the actual movies on screen. When you are in theatre, you are already seeing Prometheus on the max resolution it could be.
you lie!
We will soon be able too see movies in 4/5K at home though.
Haters gonna hate.
