The word has started to hit distributors that September 30 will see the release of three of Judd Apatow's comedies by Universal. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Knocked Up," and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" will come separately and in a "Judd Apatow 3-Pack".
MSRP should be $39.98 for day-and-date "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", $29.98 for the other two, and $89.98 for the box set.

So, do you think when Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel see
Forgetting Sarah Marshall announced as part of a Judd Apatow three-pack, they gnash their teeth in annoyance or just sigh and count their money?

September - 3 (Forgetting Sarah Mashall, 40 YO Virgin, Knocked Up)
So, we're up to 13 (and it's possible there may be a few more to come in September). However, at this pace, I doubt they'll hit 40 by 12/31/08.

"Leatherheads" on September 16, plus the following titles already expected or announced for this year:
American Gangster
Baby Mama
Casino
Hellboy II
Land of the Dead
Mamma Mia!
Serenity
The Incredible Hulk
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
The Thing
Wanted
That brings us to 25 (not counting box sets). 40 is not out of reach with some catalog releases--distributors have supposedly been told all 3 Bourne movies are coming sometime this year--and tie-ins.

| Has a studio EVER hit it's promised # of titles? I remember studios saying, "We'll release 100 in high definition this year." Usually, they get to about 70-80% of the promised title count. |
Sony's promised 100 this year. They'll be at 35 by June 30, but that doesn't count the glut of titles that studios release in Q3 and Q4. Not counting current theatrical titles, they've got 32 in the pipes for the rest of the year, and that's without Sep-Dec being announced. Again, 33 more announcements is a bit of a stretch, but not all that hard to reach.
