Is it a shame that I went to see the film Soul Surfer? After discovering that it'll be out on my last week of my summer job, it made me ask myself: Why bother with going to the movies? Seeing that, Dylan Dog, and The Beaver being mid-late-Summer releases on DVD/Blu-Ray made me realize that studios should just throw the films in the stores without worry about how they'll make their budgets back. Look at the longevity of these films form the big screen to whatever sized screen you have for your HDTV:
Soul Surfer: Theatrical Release Date: April 8, 2011
DVD/Blu-Ray: Release Date: August 2, 2011
Dylan Dog: Theatrical Release Date: April 29, 2011
DVD/Blu-Ray Release Date: July 26, 2011
The Beaver: Theatrical Release Date: March 16, 2011
DVD/Blu-Ray Release Date: August 23, 2011
This is ridiculous. Even films that I saw recently in the $3 theater such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules is rapidly approaching store shelves June 21st. Are the studios to blame? Should we blame the economy? What's your answers ladies and gents?
