Not that many blockbusters releasing the last few weeks. You want 20%? Just wait till the transformers and batmans of this year release.

Gamer, The Hurt Locker, Pandorum all big movie releases, not quite summer blockbusters but still big releases.
Blu-ray has been out for 4 years, there needs to be taking more ground away from DVD if the format will ever take off. Waiting for summer blockbusters to have a good week will only enforce the idea that Blu-ray will never be the industry standard format
The biggest problem is the Blu-Ray price is still 25 to 30 USD. At this price it will never reach market saturation. DVD's didn't touch VHS until they started to sell at an average of 15-20. With new releases hardly ever reaching past 23.

Price isnt as big of an issue as it used to be since even the brick and mortar stores have most new released under $25, with Amazon and other online retailers have alot of new releases under $20
Everytime i see these charts it just cements in my mind that blue ray is just not going to hit the heights of dvd and neither is it going to become the dominent media for movies

I would have to disagree with price not being an issue. When I go to Wal-Mart or Best buy, most of the decent movies are $25-$35.
The average consumer does not know that they can get movies much cheaper from Amazon in most cases. They go to, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Coscto, Target, or other large department stores. They see hit movies for up to $35 and then decide it is just simply too expensive when the DVD is $10 cheaper. So they skip Blu-Ray and go back to DVD unless it is a movie that they really want to see the special effects in HD. I see this happening all the time, unless the shopper is a male 20 something who is obsessed with HD movies on thier brand new TV.
It seems DVD will still be here for a long time hahahaha
Above: still the best game of the year.
