Most studios will be afraid of the multiplexes shunning them if they launched everywhere and they are still afraid of the stigma of a straight to DVD release (quite justified if you sat through the recent Resident Evil Degeneration DVD) so they just wont take the leap. I remember a few years ago there was a big clash when Fox released Night at the Museum on DVD 12 weeks after the cinema release which was a breach of a gentleman's agreement about the gap between releases. The real problem is that I can't see a studio willing to take the risk. I think for too long there has been a impression that I should be feeling blessed to be given the honour to see the latest Hollywood claptrap so I should just pay and sit with a feeling of awe that I am being allowed to view the movie on an approved format and time-scale. Dr K, you truly are an enlightened fellow.įor years I have listened to the overinflated gasbags from within the industry harp on about their artistic integrity and how the cinema is the place they want people to see their movies (a point which fades away quickly when the movie makes double on DVD than it did on the big screen mainly due to an insistence by studios to release every movie in at least 12 different formats and editions). Thank god, someone has finally understood it.
