I think there was a lot of misinformation going around back when it was BluRay vs. HD-DVD, because I distinctly remember some of the talking points of BluRay movies mimicing the talking points of BluRay PS3 games. No more need for multiple discs. I'm having trouble finding this through the forum search, but I remember a Fall 2007 argument between those that thought The Lord of the Rings special editions could fit on one Blu Ray disc on those that thought it couldn't.

Anyway you look at it, that 20 gigs of extra space does make quite a difference. The encode of the video is more important than anything, but bitrates definitely help out with the picture and significantly reduce compression artifacts, and more movies on Blu-Ray have lossless audio than movies on HD-DVD did. Space is space anyway you look at it, and it will require studios to use 2 discs less often.
Blu-Rays don't need to go to 2 discs anywhere near as often as DVD's did. DVD's sometimes had to split the ACTUAL MOVIE on to two discs, and you will pretty much never see that happen on Blu-Ray unless we are talking about the Lord of the Rings extended editions. I have yet to see that happen on Blu-Ray, even with longer movies. The only thing I have ever seen on a second disc is extras.

aside from LOTR extended edition start naming dvds where the ACTUAL MOVIE didn't fit on one disc.

What significance would that have ? he's already offered a full explanation.
