Cuban and Soderbergh’s “Bubble” set to burst cinema
Well, it’s been a long time coming, but Steven Soderbergh’s film Bubble is about to be released- almost simultaneously on DVD and in the theaters. Is this the first shot fired in a cinematic revolution, or just a strange experiment? Only time will tell.
From the Motley Fool:
Bubble won’t burst your local theater franchise just yet. The reality, though, is that the gap between a movie’s theatrical release and its arrival on cable and DVD is narrowing. If the theaters’ investments in digital projection and other content work well, they might be able to hold onto what appears to be a declining customer base. If not, even more people may stop asking “What’s playing at the movies?” in favor of “What’s new at home tonight?”
