People turned to mp3's simply because the record labels wouldn't offer them what they wanted. The public was simply tired of paying $20 for CD's with two or three good songs and ten filler tracks, so they turned to downloads whether via P2P or iTunes.
The movie studios, on the other hand, have given people what they want. As far as the public is conerned, they are getting their money's worth out of a DVD, so they will still buy them.
Even with MP3's, people are still buying CD's because everyone has the players. People have CD players in their homes, in their offices, in their cars, PCs and laptops have them.
Digital distribution of movies isn't going to gain prevalence until at least ten years from now, and even then it's not going to replace physical media.
