Historic Blu-ray Releases

 

With the first Blu-ray titles from Universal being released today, every major studio has now released movies on the Blu-ray format.  Of course, the mini-majors and several independent labels have also been releasing titles or plan to shortly.

For historical purposes, the below chart documents, all the major studio, mini-major studio, and select independent distributor first releases on the Blu-ray format.  They are sorted by the date the studio first released Blu-ray product.  I have focused on studios that do movie releases.  Many other distributors deal with primarily special interest or music product, but they are not shown in the table below.

 

Major studios in orange.  Mini-majors in green.  Independents in yellow.
