I like the idea of releasing the DVD quickly. Economically, it makes sense for Disney -- as they say, the DVD may not need as much in terms of promotion costs because the film will be fresh in the minds of consumers. And for theater owners, they get the benefit of having screens open for new product. And for the consumer, they get to have the home video in swift order. Everyone wins.
