Is anyone else happy and in disbelief at how fast movies go to DVD nowadays? lol
- Thread starter Sad Bunny
- Start date
From what I heard these studios make most of their money off DVD sales and rentals. Which is considered almost 100% straight profit for them.
Ya I felt like I noticed it instantly.. I went to Hollywood video often and saw how quickly a movie was being released and than it dawned on me that I was cuz of the bootlegging

These young kids just don't know how bad it was back in the days. Movies use to take like 8 to 10 months before it was on home video.

That's true but you have to remember a movie used to stay in a theater a lot longer then they do now. Some movies would stay in the theaters for almost a year.

Off the top usually the big blockbusters. E.T, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Titanic.
Check out how long ET was out.

Batman came out in June 89 and left theaters in December 89. Raiders of the Lost Ark was in from June 81 to March 82. ET however was out for a whole year tho breh and then re-released in 85
Fukk forgot about Titanic. Home video was a new thing during that period and now it's instant. There's a six month period to wait between a theater release and a home release but even that window is getting shorter now
Studios would keep them out longer so they could make their money back. Then make you starve
for the video or dvd to come out years later.

Breh, Kevin Smith was telling a story of how expensive it was to rent videos back in the day and the guy on his show was co-signing because he used to work at a video store as a college kid in the 80s and not only were the prices to rent out of this world but the late fees were astronomical.
Most folks wised up and said "I aint payin to see that shyt in the theater. I'll wait for video"
