Boing Boing: Soderbergh and Cuban, Wagner’s 2929: Let’s break all the windows.
Xeni breaks it down:
When I interviewed Mark Cuban earlier this year for a Wired Magazine feature on digital cinema (link), one of the things he mentioned about his movie biz plans involved changing the way films are released. Here’s how it works in Hollywood now: new theatrical releases are made available on DVD and pay-TV some time after they’ve left theaters. That “window” of time has been shrinking in recent decades. Cuban said that his distribution company 2929 Entertainment, which he runs with business partner Todd Wagner, saw no point in this delay — “Let’s release everything all at once, and let the consumer decide,” their argument goes.
