- July 4th, 2009, 3:30 pm#138290A little sales data is now available for the blu-ray. According to Nielsen VideoScan by way of Home Media Magazine,

The Top 20 Selling Blu-ray Discs for the Week Ended 6/28/09
Transformers- No solid #'s have been released, but assuming it sold similar numbers to Gran Torino's last week, this would represent roughly 72,083.05 Blu sales, with total sales representing 21% Blu and 79% DVD. This number seems high, but could be possible because of the massive success of the new movie in theaters.
Gran Torino
The Matrix
Inkheart
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Ghostbusters- Sold 42.3 copies for every 100 copies of Transformers (meaning 30,491.1302 Blu copies were sold)

Estimated Total Sales for 2 weeks: 90,536.3109 (Note: This number may be too high)
