Unless Blu-Ray movies seem superior to regular DVDs when played back on the vast number of sets that don't have HDCP connections, who will want to pay a premium for them?

The latest proprietary, locked-down format for movies is the Universal Media Disk (an ironic name if there ever was one, since it plays on nothing but Sony's Playstation Portable) and last I heard, it was losing momentum: In lieu of compelling games, PSP buyers figured they'd watch movies on it instead, and once that novelty wore off, PSP got relegated to the junk drawer next to Salad Shooter.
