s far as movies go, 60-90 days from theater to dvd/bluray would be perfect.
You get the initial run for the main theaters for 4-6 weeks, a few weeks for the lower cost budget theaters to run with along with on demand access and then a small window before it's available for purchase.
Back before it was super common, I got someone to pirate a copy of two towers for me. I had seen it in the theater like, 12 times, and it was going to be 4 or 5 months or something like that before it hit dvd (of which I was going to buy the collectors edition), but I still wanted to watch it again. So, I had my illegal copy of the movie that I watched and actually had a co-worker who just couldn't believe I would do such a thing (I was working for a video store at the time). I was like "how am I hurting anyone? I saw the movie 12 times in theater and I'm buying the dvd day one?" and he was just like "well it's just wrong!"
Hell, I bought the collectors edition and then turned around and bought the extended edition when it was later released.
So who did I hurt? =P
Anyways, yeah...the time from theater to dvd/blue ray release is just entirely too long.
