“Death of the what? DVD is not dead, at all,” Kevin Costner said. “That’s what they’d have you believe. Maybe it’s not making the same amount of money, but just try to go ask for that from the studio. They won’t give that up. A lot of people that like my movies, they can’t get to a theater, and they’re waiting for that moment. You can’t make your film for the opening weekend. You have to make it for its life.“
That’s fine, but that’s something you’ve chosen to collect as a hobby. The quote in the article sounds like Costner thinks if someone misses a movie in the theater then their only option is to go buy it on DVD.
They never even mention streaming as an option the whole article, as if they’ll just never see it unless they go to the movie theater or purchase a DVD of a movie they’ve never even seen before. It makes it sound like the whole article is from like 2008
Him refering to “DVDs” makes me wonder if this is some kind of time capsule. I’m surprised he didn’t mention Blockbuster as an option.
