"Since I'm already at the theater, I might as well watch once on the bigscreen, then pick up the dvd on the way out".

Didn't the Olsen twins already prove this concept with their straight to DVD empire exceeding $150 Million? Do you want to make money or win Oscars? Cuban and Co. already have proven they are about making money. I except them to exceed with this venture as well. Cuban topped the music biz and the RIAA is still trying to turn the clock backward. The movie biz maintains similar antiquated standards and will also "miss the boat." 2 tickets @ $10 each = 1 $20 DVD.

A lot more people won't go to the theatre because it's becoming a rip-off. High ticket prices, outrageous snack prices, an insane amount of ads and of course the possibility of missing important dialog because of rude people making noise, talking on phones, babies crying, etc. Even if they waited one or two months and put it on DVD that would be great, as waiting as much as a year for some DVD releases (Polar Express) sucks.
