The late-May launch will feature eight titles from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and four from Lionsgate, the two studios said Monday. Sony will release seven more catalog titles June 13 while Lionsgate will chip in six additional ones. Among the first wave of releases from Sony are "50 First Dates," "House of Flying Daggers," "The Last Waltz" (MGM) and "XXX." Lionsgate titles include "Crash," "Saw" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." The Lionsgate titles will retail for $30 to $40 each. Sony doesn't include suggested retail prices with its releases, but catalog titles from the studio are expected to retail for about $25 while new releases will go for about $30. The first Blu-ray new release is expected to be Sony's "Underworld: Evolution," which will bow on DVD and Blu-ray in early summer.
