We had good news on the Blu-ray sales chart, as X-Men: First Class opened better than it did on DVD. It dominated with 825,000 units / $19.35 million during just three days of sales. That was more than the rest of the market managed over the full week. This gave the film an opening week Blu-ray ratio of just under 60%, which is the best the format has managed for a first-run release.

It's a transition week on the home market and while today doesn't mark the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, it's soon. Very soon. As in Friday. That's when X-Men: First Class comes out, which is the first of the summer blockbusters. The film earned fantastic reviews and will likely be the Pick of the Week, when the screener arrives.

Over his career, Brian De Palma has never earned an Oscar nomination, but he has earned six Razzies nominations. Granted, two of those were for The Bonfire of the Vanities, which was a mess. On the other hand, he also earned worst director nominations for Dressed to Kill, Body Double, and Scarface. The average Tomatometer Score for those three films is 85% positive. Scarface is now considered one of the best gangster movies ever made. This week it makes its Blu-ray debut in a limited edition Steelbook, and a special Humidor edition. But it is worth the upgrade?
