Paul Dergarabedian Video Quotations

I think that's the problem with those shrinking video windows, and that can affect any summer; as long as those video windows are shorter and shorter, it's going to cause a lot of worry on the part of theater owners.

Everyone thought we had so much choice with video and CDs and just the technology we had five or 10 years ago,

Especially the younger people (who) are used to, 'I can plug in my video game and play it now,' 'I can download music and hear it now,' 'I can take my iPod with me and listen to it wherever and whenever I want.' Going to the movies requires that you're on a time frame and in a location that's dictated by someone else.

The younger male audience, if you ask 10 of them if they'd rather go to the movies or play a video game, a lot of them are going to say they'd rather play a video game. Hollywood cannot release mediocre movies and expect people to line up in record numbers when consumers have so many options for their entertainment.
