direct to disc?

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Theatrical Release Movie Waiting To Be Released On DVD Movie

If this is scheduled for theatrical release, I don't know why it's even being marked for DVD already. Even in preorder form, I wonder if they anticipate a big killing next year (????, ummm, unsure if pun intended or not???)

they do this crap for every movie being made. amazon does it too. they just want to reassure you that they will carry it when it becomes available.

it has nothing to do with success or failure.

its just about getting people to remember where they "saw it first" when theyre ready to buy.

Nowadays, a DVD comes out like 2-3 months after a movie leaves theaters it seems like.

What's wrong with that? It's just a listing. It's not an official listing from the production company or anything. It's some store site with a listing.

Nothing big. Look for other movies that are scheduled to be released around that time, sure you'll see some of 'em listed as well.


Read a Watchmen interview with the director. He's already working on features for the DVD release and they are already planning on 3 different versions of the DVD. And that one hasn't even hit theaters yet. And with the legal battle over distribution, it could be pushed way back.

When DVDs first started coming out, it could be up to a year from theatre (stopping in theatre) to DVD release.

Sometimes it seems the DVD is bigger then the movie. Which in a way makes sense. Movies are expensive, most movies make a ton more in DVD sales then they did in the theater.

Is downloading a movie cheaper than buying it on DVD?

Too bad Transformers & My Little Pony movies caused the original '87 to be direct to videocassette.
