A ‘raw deal’ on DVDs
Re “Hollywood’s window,” editorial, July 28
I disagree that the most vocal opponents of same-day theatrical and DVD movie releases are mainly theater owners. Several prominent directors, namely James Cameron, have also come out against it.
It is not at all surprising that there are people in Hollywood who couldn’t care less if we lost the theater experience. Studios get their largest profit from DVD sales.
It is the creative people who put their lives into making films who will be hurt the most; they get a raw deal when it comes to DVD sales and typically get a better percentage of revenues from theaters.
