Poll question: Should new movies be released simultaneously in in theaters and on DVDs?
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 12:28 AM by Bush_Eats_Beef
This is being posted in response to a news story that new Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger thinks they SHOULD...to the chagrin of John Fithian, president of the National Assn. of Theatre Owners.

Fithian's remarks: "Mr. Iger knows better than to tell consumers — or Wall Street analysts — that they can have it all, everywhere, at the same time," Fithian said. "He knows there would be no viable movie theater industry in that new world."
