I say 5 months. Some take longer like the Lord of the Rings. But I say Disney's the fastest at releasing theirs. Money hungry pigs. :P

Yeah, i think it depends on how much money the movie made in the box office. A bigger movie will take longer, while the crappy box office bombs will go straight to DVD a couple months after. At least, that's how i see it.

Well, mostly it takes about a weak, sometimes they even manage to get them before they hit the cinema... :o

I dont know how they do it tough... but 5 bucks for legal DVD quality picture isnt that much...

Before the turnaroun time for a movie was about 5-6 months, now it seems less than that, usually 4 months, sometimes sooner than that.  ex: Rocky Balboa came out in theaters mid-December,  We're gonna get the DVDS in next week.  It's been a little under 4 months since it's been released.

What drives me nuts is that If a movie's a hit, they'll release a bare-bones dvd, then put out a special edition DVD a few months later.

People who really like it buy it twice that way. I don't really buy movie dvds so that's not as annoying for me as it must be for some people.

Apparent;y it's true. At the store where I work, we already have release dates for Norbit (6/12), Reno 911(6/26) and Zodiac (6/26) posted already.

The better the movie does in the theaters, the faster it'll come out.
