Question by Fiona V: why do DVDs come out months after the movie is not in theaters anymore?
Well… Why do they? I think it would make more sense if the DVD for a movie came out around a week after the movie stopped showing in theaters. I guess to build up anticipation for the movie to come out on DVD. But that’s just a guess.

I dont know what happened to this idea,

but a few years ago, there was talk of a doing it where TV, theatre, dvd was all released at the same time, since theatres were losing money.
