I would imagine that one would have futures contracts that expire month to month or week to week. The most valuable futures contracts would be those that correlate to what the market thinks the actual release date will be.
It would function just like the futures markets do now I expect. Let's say there were futures contracts for cataclysm to sell 10 million copies in October, 10 million copies in November and 10 million copies in December. If most folks thought that Cataclysm would be released in November, then that month's futures contracts should be the highest priced of the three, with the December contracts being slightly lower and the October contracts being lower still.
