Despite the recent reports of fake Blu-ray Discs, Sony Pictures is moving ahead with its plans to release movies on Blu-ray in China. According to Variety, the company will release 30 titles on Nov. 21st, including recent releases such as "Hancock," "The Water Horse" and the “Spider-Man” trilogy.
Starting Friday, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will distribute 30 current and classic movies in the Sony-developed high-definition format for 205 yuan ($30) per disc -- a considerable sum in a low-wage country.
Pics include "Hancock," "Kung Fu Hustle," the "Spider-Man" trilogy, "Hitch," "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Warner Bros. and Disney are also looking at releasing Blu-ray titles in China. However, instead of importing the discs, they are looking to cut costs by using local manufacturers.
