"My guess is unlike film studios that are really stuck with a model that goes through theatrical distribution and takes a signification amount of the profit away, if we were to go to an audience and say 'We have this great hour and a half of linear video that we'd like to make available to you at a $20 or $30 price point,' you'd have the biggest opening weekend of any film ever," he said. |
This is flat out dumb. Theatrical releases taking profit away? Yes, Avatar went back into theaters to lose profit, and straight to DVD releases do gangbusters. There is a reason that movies have theatrical releases: exposure and high ticket prices.
Twenty to thirty dollars? Who the hell is going to buy the equivalent of a B Grade movie, or worse, for top dollar? Talk to me when it hits the $5 bargin bin, or better yet, never. There are so many great movies out there I can buy for $5 to $10, rent, or just stream for free on my Netflix.
