Blu-ray releases on November 4th 2008

As we get closer and closer to the end of the year, each and every studio keeps releasing new titles in record numbers, as is evident this week with over 20 new titles. Dreamworks's animated feature Kung Fu Panda is the biggest this week and while it is expected to sell well, we'd be surprised if it managed much of DVD's market share. Another animated movie which is probably more in line with the Blu-ray demographic though, is Futurama: Bender's Game. Steve Carell's latest comedy is out this week from Warner with Get Smart, which is sure to be good for a laugh. Although these movies will be the most popular this week, the theme is most definitely Planet of the Apes with six classics released by Fox. The next few weeks is much of the same,as we count down to the remaining blockbusters due this year like WALL-E and the Dark Knight.
