The rush to DVD
With the domination of DVD frequently exceeding box office, there is an accelerated rush to release content on our favorite little discs. The most aggressive delay between theatrical release and DVD release is a mere three months. It also occurred to me that since there have been problems previously with the duplication and sale of pirated DVDs made from screeners distributed to Academy voters, that the studios might be inclined to release even earlier.
I thought it might be interesting to have a quick look at when this year’s Academy Award nominated films (excluding documentaries) are released to DVD. So without further ado . . .
