So if studios want to start making money, they have to stop authorizing their content in pay-per-minute venues and bring all VOD operations in house. ***Which is something I tried to tell the studios when I was in VOD*** That being said, I'm sure my perspective doesn't make somebody who's revenue has dropped over the summer feel any better.



I couldnt agree more. VOD and the 80/20 or70/30 split is going to kill a lot of small studios in the long run as money gets tighter for Joe Blow.

I think the bigger problem for studios is Cable PPV. That's the real threat. There are so many titles now on cable PPV, why would you need to buy a DVD anymore. I have Time Warner and last I checked there were like over 100 titles available, including some new releases not just old stuff.

So I have a question, how much does a studio get from PPV? Is it a revenue split like these VOD companies? Or is it a flat fee?
