How long does it take for a movie to be released on dvd after premiering in theaters?

It used to depend on how successful and popular a movie was but that doesn't seem to be a factor anymore.

I believe that it's anywhere from 3 months to a year. It just depends on the company and producers I think

about a month
True...true. It used to be. Its all down to marketing now...how much money they are going to make...will it clash with blockbusters etc etc.
it depends on the movie-- wheather it was really popular.



a movie that i saw in theathers in september just came out this month.
It usually depends on the revenue of the movie. If the movie bombs, investers rush it to video, and it hits the stands in about 4 months. If it is a success, it usually takes about 6-7 months, where they try to sync it up to a holiday.
it really does depend on how long it stayed in theaters and how sucessful it is.....the more sucessful it is the longer it takes to go to dvd....usually it will take less than a year....the game plan(which was very sucessful) just released today and it came out last year...it also depends on the worldwide sales as well...but it will generally take 6 months+ once the theatrical release runs its course-worldwide
IT DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION DEALS. THE DVDS AND VHS TAPES ARE MADE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FILM REAL FOR THEATERS, THEN THEY SIT AND WAIT FOR THEM TO BE RELEASED. BLOCKBUSTER NORMALLY GETS THE DVDS 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY ARE PUT OUT ON THE SHELVES. BUT IT IS ALL PART OF THE ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION DEAL.
The three months answer is about right.



The one exception I can remember was Steven Soderbergh's "Bubble," which was released on video the same as it went to theaters. Kind of an experimental film, however.
sometimes a movie doesn't make the money it was supposed to and they release it too make more they hope.
