First 50GB Blu-ray disc for sale on Tuesday with Click
Consumers will have access to the first 50GB Blu-ray disc, which boasts twice the capacity of a regular disc, when Sony Pictures releases the Adam Sandler comedy “Click” on Tuesday. The dual-layer disc promises to deliver the interactivity and extras that backers of the next-generation, high-definition optical-disc format had been promising since the first movies were released in the format in June.
“Click” is one of three 50GB Blu-ray discs in the studio’s pipeline. The others are Ridley Scott’s “Black Hawk Down,” coming Nov. 14, and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” due Dec. 12. Only two other studios have announced 50GB discs: 20th Century Fox is releasing “Kingdom of Heaven” on Nov. 14, and Lionsgate is preparing a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc of “The Descent” for a December release. Warner Bros. is expected to announce that its next wave of Blu-ray titles, hitting stores Oct. 31, will include one or more dual-layer discs.
