How do online DVD rentals affect the film exhibition (cinema) industry? Online rentals provide consumers with yet another cheaper alternative to the cinema experience. |
| Synopsis |
This article highlights the rise of American online DVD rental site 'NetFlix', and the resulting interest by several local entities to replicate similar results in Australia. The major forerunners include the Packer-backed 'Fetch Me Movies', 'Web Flicks', 'DVD Point', 'QuickFlix', and 'Meteor Entertainment'. Sainsbury also draws an interesting comparison between the traditional cinema experience and "Australia's $500 million-plus DVD and video rental market", highlighting the advantages of online rentals. |
