How about a “none” option? That would be novel.
Don’t get me wrong. My mind is on trying to get some of the older James Bond movies that are proving rather hard to get.

Not too sure,

1) I want to make all this kind of polls uniform, the objective of the poll is not to know how many people will buy DVDs on that month, it is to know which DVD/Blu-Ray is the most interesting for users.

In other words, if none of these DVDs or Bluray or 4k interest you, you don't have the obligation to vote.

2)  If a strong proportion of voters vote for  "None of the Above", I'm not achieving one of my objectives which is to show users interesting newly released movies in physical format.

Globally, these polls are sequels to "Most Anticipated Film of ...". 

"Most Anticipated Film of ..." tells you about the most interesting up-coming releases in theater.

"Most Anticipated DVD/Blu-Ray of..." tells you about the success of a movie after its release, if a movie didn't leave up to the expectations, it would most likely be ranked pretty low on my poll by users to illustrate that it disappointed in term of financial or critical expectation.

3) I don't like the "None of the above" option. Last time that I used it in Storytelling Arc for Your Favorite Movie, it completely ruined my poll. Because in the majority, people voted for their favorite movie on the list and a lot of people voted "None of the above" because the poll is description was too complex.

Also, "None of the above" was only invented for the purpose of obtaining more votes.

Understand, I not trying to troll you. (Yeah, I saw that comment on the none poll and made to the connection to this poll and my comment on here.)
But there is a hole in your logic here. While you are achieving your goal informing the public of new releases in any format, you are helping to market the films. Marketeers would like to look at this information you are helping to gather. A none option would show how much of the martlet is not particularly interested in these films.

Well you did anyway and I still thank you. I didn’t knew what a martlet was. Auto correct put that in. I was typing the word “Market”.
It turns out that a “Martlet” is a heraldry sign of a footless swallow like bird a charge or mark of the cadency of a fourth son. Poor guys.

 "None of the above" and "All of the above" won't ever be included in this type of poll as far as I'm making them.

Anyway, since  these polls exist I have voted in each of them but I never bought a movie listed.

I'm only voting for the one that sounds the most interesting.

So this month I'm probably gonna vote Invisible Man, I don't believe that I will buy it on DVD/Blu-Ray but it sounds more interesting than every other movie on the list.

The main problem is, that those movies won't be realeased (not only in America) while Corona rises. Several movie companies move releasing dates in Europe. Some of them do release movies directly on Amazon, which would have been released in Cinema. The bigger blockbusters like Widow, come out later. I guess they don't want to miss the box office results. ;)

1) I Still Believe (2020) added to the list.

2) I'm interested to know if it would be nice to add the release dates for each movie, I hesitate because those dates may change in the future. On the other hand, it may give important information.

Generally, I'm looking to give more details about the movies listed so if anyone as another idea let me know.
