How soon after a movies theatrical release will its DVD-Video version be released?

0

It mostly depends on the studio, but generally a movie is released to DVD-Video about five to seven months after its theatrical release. Some movies are available in DVD-Video only after 16 weeks (just shy of four months), for example “The Patriot”. It doesn’t mean that the movie had a bad theatrical run. Sometimes, the studio wants the title ready for the holiday shopping season. For example, “The Patriot” was a summer movie released on June 28, 2000, in time for the 4th of July (Independence Day) holiday in the United States, and became available on DVD October 24, 2000, well in advance for the holiday shopping season.
