Who decides


Slowhand Bob, 24229

I have been waiting for several years now for Riders of the Purple Sage with Ed Harris to get upgraded to DVD. The prices of VHS tapes has steadily risen over that time also and if you watch the buyer ratings you will find it to often be rated much higher than some of the better known flicks. I would really like to have a copy but it just doesn't make since to buy and store a player for just the one movie. It just leaves me wondering who makes the decision to upgrade to DVD and on what basis they decide? I had hoped that the release of Appaloosa might get the right persons attention but in the end the movie did not seem to do that well I guess.

Mass sales of DVD's have dropped off, so profit is the deciding factor Bob. It's all up to some middle manager and the accounting department.

 

However, some of the studios are trying something new to compete with RedBox and Netflix. For a small fee, they will burn a DVD of whatever the movie is that you want, or you can download it to your computer and make your own copy. If I recall, Warner Bros. started doing this about a year ago. Don't know if others followed along or not.

 

Here's their site: http://www.wbshop.com/Warner-Archive/ARCHIVE,default,sc.html?src=GGLHMOD&gclid=CJr-qrCbgacCFQjrKgodi25bgQ

 

If you know who made the movie originally, a check of the studio website might have the info you're looking for.
