Diablo Cody Twitter: Paradise [LAMBG] premieres on DirectTV on Aug 8 on Aug 01, 10:03
My how the strippers have fallen. {nm} on Aug 01, 10:06
She later tweeted that it will still run in theaters in October afterward?? So idk. on Aug 01, 10:13
its with Image/RLJ entertainment {nm} on Aug 01, 10:14
Thanks. I missed this. Still strange to me that it would play theatrically after that. {nm} on Aug 01, 10:27
VOD is becoming like 'midnights' for indie movies; die hards can see it early, spread the word, and take their friends to see it in theaters {nm} on Aug 01, 10:54
It's the 6 weeks which throws me off. {nm} on Aug 01, 10:58
I doubt that. VOD is for people who don't live in a major city like NY/LA or don't feel like leaving the house and paying more. {nm} on Aug 01, 10:59
so indie companys are releasing movies weeks ahead of time (for people who dont live in NY/LA)? That doesnt make sense. on Aug 01, 11:16
its a combination of a lot of factors. you both are right. Plus some people like going to the theater, some people like VOD {nm} on Aug 01, 11:22
Different online/cable companies charge different rates depending on the release pattern. Doesn't make sense that someone would pay twice. {nm} on Aug 01, 11:28
some people do. I did myself for Only God Forgives (that was day and date, but I saw it at Cannes) {nm} on Aug 01, 11:50
That doesn't count. You saw a pre-release for "work". ;) {nm} on Aug 01, 12:00
yeah, don't throw that Cannes crap in our face saying you paid to see it!!! we should only be so lucky! {nm} on Aug 01, 12:04
VOD ahead of theatrical is not unusual these days. {nm} on Aug 01, 10:27
As non-US person I wasn't aware that DirectTV counts as strict VOD. I thought it was more TV-ish. That, and the 6 weeks looked strange to me {nm} on Aug 01, 11:29
DirecTV is a distribution outlet, not a specific TV channel. {nm} on Aug 01, 11:34
Thanks. Learning something new every day. :) {nm} on Aug 01, 11:54
