Breh, Kevin Smith was telling a story of how expensive it was to rent videos back in the day and the guy on his show was co-signing because he used to work at a video store as a college kid in the 80s and not only were the prices to rent out of this world but the late fees were astronomical.

it was only like 5 bucks a video.

When is The Raid 2 coming to DVD?

 

[MartyMcFly]

it was only like 5 bucks a video.

Yeah that I know because I did that but they were talking about a time before blockbuster came in and became a chain. I think they were talking about local mom and pop rental stores that weren't charging that low price

Gotta keep that revenue pouring in.

Fukk forgot about Titanic. Home video was a new thing during that period and now it's instant. There's a six month period to wait between a theater release and a home release but even that window is getting shorter now

6 months?

More like 3...at the most. Lol.

My local video store charged 2.50 a movie and you only got to keep it overnight

Some movies turn around to video super-quick but there's still a few every now and then that got me going "they ain't put that shyt out on DVD yet? "

 

[Ineedmoney504]

I remember it used to be a sign that the movie bombed when movies came out on vhs super fast

They used to let good movies cook at the theatre for a few months then it would be like a year and some change before vhs

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

It's kinda wack now you don't see it with in 6 weeks it might not be at the theatre any more

 

[Wild self]

These young kids just don't know how bad it was back in the days. Movies use to take like 8 to 10 months before it on home video.

Word. Basically, back then, you had to wait another calender year for release. "The Matrix" changed the game and making DVDs being released 3.5-6 months after release now. Guess that is the catch 22 we got to deal with.
