: Used to be that the time between the first trailer for a film and the film itself was LESSER than the time between the film's theatrical run and the DVD release.
: Nowadays, we're watching trailers a year in advance, then the film's in the theater, and then it's on DVD a month later. At what point in time exactly did this all shift?
: I think the first film I noticed it with was Space Jam back in '96.
Isn't it all about:
Trying to create a demand
Seeing how people react so thet can market it better
I am not a pro movie guy, but it seems to make sense.
