  Yeah, it boggles me why Universal would do this. It feels like they’re leaving money on the table.

  Maybe it’s not performing as well as they’d hoped?

    The studios must realise that once it’s PVOD, your giving a perfect copy to the pirates!

      I don’t think piracy has that big of an effect on box office.

      Most people don’t know how to pirate properly and are too afraid of “viruses” and navigating file systems to do it.

      If piracy really were that big of a problem, they wouldn’t be doing this.

        It’s about making it easily available so it’s more effort to pirate it. If it’s available on a streaming service you already have or you can purchase it for not a lot then most people will take the easy way out and pay.
