Why are movies coming onto DVD sooner than before?

is it because people want to rent/buy them? or do they want to get them out ASAP to make even more money?



*Borat,Happy Feet,Night at the Museum,The Pursuit of Happyness, and Charlotte's Web are all coming out on DVD in March...seems a little fast....*Why are movies coming onto DVD sooner than before?
because piracy is taken over sales and they need their revenues back fast, before the movie is sold for 99 cents in flea markets.
Because they were not that good of a movie in the first place. There is little to no anticipation now. Also, most films are Edited Digitally now so the printing is quicker and easier now.Why are movies coming onto DVD sooner than before?
It may have something to do with the fact that films can be obtained illegally nowadays.

Instead of people getting impatient and getting a copy, they just bring them out sooner.

What do you think?

:D
In a word... MONEY!!Why are movies coming onto DVD sooner than before?
A friend of mine takes a video recorder into the cinemas and they record the film there they then make so many copies its like a chain I get a burned dvd I then burn it for someone else then they burn it for someone else etc. I have night at the museum right here right now and my friends daughter has happy feet,,and they're still advertising it on TV , but yea maybe they feel they need to get em out fast before everyone ends up getting them for free thats my opinion
It is partially due to an increase in technological know how, but also due to profitability. A lot of movies are lucking to break even in the theaters, but the DVD sales tends to put most movies (even theater bombs) in the blue.
Movies are coming out sooner than before due to piracy and copyright issues. The movie industry is loosing millions of dollars in DVD sales because consumers are able to purchase a copy for pennies on the dollar. Not only that but not with the addition of the Video iPod, Netflix, and Blockbuster at home, retailers are pushing watching movies from the convinience of your home. The trend began with the success of Finding Nemo in 2003.



"Total DVD revenue last year (2003) hit $17.5 billion 鈥?$12.1 billion in sales, $5.4 billion in rentals 鈥攁ccording to new industry totals from market tracking firm Adams Media Research. That surpasses the most optimistic expectations and overshadows spending on movie tickets, music CDs and video games"



In our ever changing society our demand for sooner DVD release dates and desire to view them from the comfort of our own home has pushed the movie industry to revolutionize their "sales pitch" and time frame in order to met consumer's demands.
