Re: Scare Tactics
Thats a good idea, averagedude. I hope some of the movie moguls read that. If you watch the flow of a movie, they are like:
1:) BOXOFFICE
2.) PAY PER VIEW
3.) MOVIE CHANNELS
4.) DVD
Like I said they want to squeeze every nickel out of it.
Here's another idea suppose you had a movie released on DVD at the same time as Boxoffice and like you say they were priced about the same. You know why that would not work? Because like someone said the theaters make millions off popcorn and coke, they would raise H***

| Actually it's:
1) box office
2) DVD (sale and rental)
3) PPV (sometimes at the same time as 2, but rarely)
4) premium cable (sometimes it skips 3 to go here)
5) broadcast TV (rarely it will skip 3 and/or 4 to go here)
They will never get rid of the box office because that's where the "real" money is made. Most movies will pay for themselves with box office returns. Everything after that is just icing on the cake. It's rare for a movie to make more on DVD sales then it does on box office ticket sales.
