James Cameron Opposed Video-on-Demand

James Cameron opposes the Hollywood majors' initiative to reduce the gap between movie premieres and access to digital copies using the Premium VOD service ('Premium Video On Demand') up to 60 days.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director is confident that this will deprive many movies of their full potential at the box office.

Previously, movie companies Warner Bros., Fox, Universal and Sony entered into relevant contracts with the DirecTV network. Under the terms of the agreement, viewers will be able to watch movies at home for $ 29.9 just two months after they start.

In this way, movie companies are trying to compensate for their losses caused by slow, but a sure death of the DVD and other media market. The management of the majors is confident that this will not affect the box office, since most movies leave the screens much earlier.

However, in the case of directors like Cameron, this rule is not obvious, since his projects always show amazing " survivability. "

Large car rental companies intend to join the protests.
