From nwsource.com:
“I got myself in the headlines a couple years ago by making comments about making DVDs available at the same time that movies were available in movie theaters. What I really meant was I thought that we had to listen to the consumer and make content available more aggressively, which meant that I thought at the time that the window, meaning the time that movies are in theaters, would probably collapse and should collapse.
“I actually believe that the movie-going experience, when you go into a theater with a number of other people and see it on a big screen, is a good experience and an important experience for the business, and I dont think that should go away. And I believe it actually should be protected in a few ways. One, we should all be working as an industry to make the product more compelling, which means everything from digital theaters, digital cinema to just a better movie-going experience.
“But I also believe that the window to when its available in the next form ought to be maybe a little shorter than it has been in the past, and weve seen some of that compression. It ought to be designed to continue to maintain value for both windows — for what Ill call the home-video window and for the theatrical window. I dont think were going to get to a point where everything is available at all times, but you will see, thanks to technology, a lot more available than ever before.”
