Boland highlights why so many people are opting for DVD rentals over the cinema thearte. |
| Synopsis |
Michaela Boland documents the rise in popularity of the DVD and how many filmmakers/producers now rely on DVD sales to cover budget costs and recover losses from declining ticket sales. Boland uses Nick Giannopoulos's 'The Wannabes' as a recent example of a film that was able to recover profits through DVD sales. The article also highlights how many filmmakers/producers factor DVD extras into their production schedules and budgets in anticipation of low box office returns.
Boland also compares the traditional cinema experience with home DVD rentals. The writer cites high ticket prices and poor quality cinema projection equipment and sound systems as contributing factors towards the public's increasing preference for DVD rentals. |
