I absolutely agree that movie studios need to make it possible to view films from the home. people dont realize that one of the main reasons why theater ticket sales have increased so much over the past 10 years is due to the increase in high quality home theater setups. The obvious eventuality is that all films will be viewed at home, and movie theaters will essentially go the way of the dinosaur. on the piracy note, the film studios are never going to win. the biggest source of Cam and TC (telecine) films are overseas. usually in eastern europe, asia and south america. the studios also think that these companies that they hire to track these trends are doing a good job. that is wrong. they, also, do not understand what they are doing. not because they dont have smart little skript kiddies working for them, but because they are not IN THE SCENE (the scene refers to the people who make and distribute pirated films online). they also like to quote trends on pirated film downloading and viewing surveys and bit torrent tracking. they miss the fact that usenet is untraceable. this is the case because most people use private usenet providers and these companies cannot track the packets going through the ISP TL;DR they fail and never will win.

TL;DR

I've also heard that the move to digital distribution is designed to help them do this. Also, I think it has something to do with giving UK films a shot or something, but still, for major releases, it's pretty dumb. I have heard that before and it certainly would be interesting.

Would be interesting to see the cost of doing a world wide simultaneous release compared to the estimated revenue lost from pirate copys of the film.
