If you are wondering why DVD announcements have been light as of late, it is because just about everything has been announced. Aside from a surprising number of arthouse fare awaiting their home dates, only How To Train Your Dragon and A Nightmare On Elm Street lie amongst the in-between through the April releases. Between the former and soon enough announcements for Iron Man 2 and Shrek Forever After, Paramount is going to have one heck of a holiday threesome. Meanwhile, the Elm St. redux will likely be released in the currently barren September and ruefully forgotten about by Halloween.
Sony helped thin the herd of the unannounced this week by proclaiming J.Lo's The Back-Up Plan on the schedule for Aug. 24, just four months and a day from its theatrical release. If only there was someone out there willing to stand up and say "Enough" like Michael Caine as Harry Brown.

In the latest summer blockbuster preview, we ask: can director Christopher Nolan match the storming success of The Dark Knight with his next film, Inception?
What Is It?
Not much is known of the film's plot, but here's what we've got. Dom Cobb is the best there is at what he does, and what he does is steal ideas. When business bigwigs lapse into a dream state, and are thus at their most vulnerable, Cobb and his team are able to establish a fine and lucrative line in corporate espionage.
It's also turned them into international fugitives, and left Cobb in mourning for the life he used to have. There might be a chance to get all that back after one last job. Rather than stealing an idea, it's down to Cobb and co. to plant one instead.
Against an enemy that can predict their every move, the team battle...

Freddy Krueger's return is a sweet dream for Warner Bros as it prepares to mop up horror-film fans in the coming weeks when Iron Man 2 is expected to dominate
The winner
Warner Bros' remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street, from its wholly owned production company New Line, went top of the pile on an estimated $32.2m (£21.1m). The studio has got to be happy with that, bearing in mind that the movie features no A-listers, would not have cost the earth to make, and will remain the only big horror in the market for a while. A few more weeks of modest holdover business beneath the radar of Iron Man 2 and Warner Bros top brass should be expecting a theatrical run to the order of $65-75m before they unleash it on DVD.
