25 million dollars is nothing to a production earning 2 million in one week in only NYC.

There will soon be numerous productions earning tons of money as well. And these productions will run for years. There will eventually be a way to view this at home but it's not a film with only a 3 month window to earn money. A DVD at this point would seriously dilute ticket sales at a moment when there isn't a hotter ticket in town.

but this assumes people would stop going to the plays. Do people not go to concerts cause they can buy a CD? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 05:32 2
- Better analogy: do people stop going to concerts because the concert was filmed and released? -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 05:33
- (but I see you point; would just open up a huge market; especially for older shows; I'd love a Harry Potter DVD of the How to Succeed in Business show -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 05:33
This. As much as I'd love to see it again, they'd be crazy to release a DVD. -- nm - MDH Jul 18, 05:05
