Paramount Pictures is working on a trial run to speed up the movies from the theater to DVD. Currently there is an agreement to wait at least 90 days after a theater movie debut to get to DVD. This is a relic of the 1980s and is considered a crack that piracy can often fill.
Now the new plan for 2 movies releasing in October: Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and Scout's Guide to the Apocalypse". The movies will release on DVD after the theater count drops to 300. By way of example, the biggest movie of this year, Fifty Shades of Grey took 9 weeks to reach 300 theaters. So this DVD is will available after 2 or 3 weeks likely.
Looks like a good change with the times.
