Universal Studios Releasing Blu-ray Discs Beginning July 22

Expect an announcement from Universal Studios later today that they'll officially be entering the Blu-ray market July 22. At one time HD DVD's most loyal backer, Universal will ironically kick off its Blu-ray campaign with another flop, Doomsday. They'll also be releasing its Mummy movie trio at the same time-The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and spinoff The Scorpion King starring wrestler The Rock.

Other titles included in the total of 40 Universal plans to have on shelves come year end include The Incredible Hulk, Wanted, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and musical adaptation Mamma Mia.

All Blu-ray releases will be coupled with the identical DVD release.
