The Hollywood Saloon

Saloon Shots 14 - 28 Days Later

Andy Siems John Jansen
From one year, to six months, to three months, the release window schedule for home video entertainment has always been in an ever changing flux. When DVD sales skyrocketed, the goal of getting movies into the hands of customers faster and sooner became a Hollywood battle cry that reaped millions in profit. Now Warner Bros. has stepped forward to alter that schedule once again, but this time for the Netflix rental market. With a new 28 day hold on all new releases for Warner titles at Netflix, customers will now have to play the waiting game once again or seek out alternative rental or purchasing methods. Is Netflix being left out? Or are new releases only a pawn in a larger Netflix endgame? Fresh off the headlines, Andy and John break open the Netflix/Warner deal and drink up the details, discovering all kinds of incentives inside the bottle.
