iTunes may be venue for early release movies


Bloomberg:

21st Century Fox Inc., Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. and Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures all confirmed over the past week that they are looking to offer high-priced, home-video rentals of new movies shortly after they open in theaters. Some studio executives have been pushing to allow home rentals as early as two weeks after theatrical debuts and are considering a deal with iTunes as one option...

The early releases likely will be significantly more expensive than typical purchases, but could be pretty compelling, especially for families. One thing I might miss though is high-end surround sound that typically get on Blu-ray and in theaters.
