Lionsgate Says Yes To Movies Burned to DVD October 27, 2006
Posted by Steve in : Weblog , add a commentI am a big film fan and the reality of first run movies being burned right to DVD is one step closer to reality. Yesterday, independent film studio Lionsgate agreed to have its movies available for burning to DVD the same day the titles are released in stores.
Online movie service CinemaNow on Wednesday said independent film studio Lionsgate had agreed to have its movies available for burning to DVD the same day the titles are released in stores. CinemaNow is the first movie service to provide a burn-to-DVD service for Hollywood movies, although rival Movielink has announced plans for a similar service. CinemaNow offers films from major studios for burning, but the selection remains very limited at about 100.
The first Lionsgate movie to be available on CinemaNow and in retailers at the same time will be “An American Haunting,” which is set for release this week. Older Lionsgate titles that will be available include “Reservoir Dogs” and “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder.” (more…)
