Not that long ago, the choice was simple: Release a movie in theaters first or directly to video. Nowadays, distributors debate whether to release movies on several platforms at once, or if those same films should debut internationally before the U.S. The goal, as always, is to maximize coin while keeping up with demand. Ian Blair, “Distributors Experiment As Windows Collapse”, 2012
