One of the highest grossing films of last summer was Spiderman 3 which takes us into the darker side of Peter Parker. Trilogies were the hits of the summer so if you have waited and not bought any of these films on DVD yet then be cautious as box sets will be out soon. However, don't be suprised if they are not in the shops or online for the festive season. They usually appear some time after the single edition DVD is released. Given the number of sales of all these blockbusters it is a good bet that most people will only need this one to make their set. Of course you can also get HD versions of the films too.
The other big film of the last summer was Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and as with the other trilogies this one will just about be out before the holiday shopping season is over. No sign of the box set as we put this page together but you can be sure it will arrive at some point in the next few months - unless of course they go for the special edition this time next year. Unlike some of the other blockbusters there are no current plans to bring this franchise back any time soon. This lends itself to additional offerings on DVD but it very much depends on quantity of sales.
A big hit at the summer box office (taking some studio bosses by surprise) was Transformers. Starring Josh Duhamel (from TVs Las Vegas) it had a lengthy stay in the top ten. It had its critics for accuracy but it was a rip-roaring adventure befitting a summer release and should do well on DVD as advance orders are well ahead of expectations.
