    How quickly are new releases available on VUDU?

    I expected The Visitor to be available when I hooked up my VUDU box a few days ago. It's out on DVD, but not on VUDU? I thought VUDU marketing promised when new releases were on DVD they would immediately be on VUDU.

    If you poke around this board you will find may great posts on how movie content moves to the VOD space.

    You are correct that most DVD's they day they are available to purchase VUDU will have them available to purchase also. This is true for most major studios and their releases.

    I would have to leave this one to the VUDU folks to answer since The Visitor seems to be released by an independent studio.

      I thought movies had to wait 30 days after dvd/br release.

        Depends on the studio and their contractual agreement with VUDU, and/or other VOD providers. Warner Brothers is one of the few that releases on the same day as the DVD release, here on vudu. Hopefully, more will follow suit as time goes forward.

          Direct from VUDU marketing:

          New Movies Weekly-Watch newly released movies the same day the DVD becomes available. No worrying about it being in-stock at the video store, or having to queue it up online. Even watch the trailer before you decide to rent or buy.

            I don't think VUDU promised to have EVERY movie released on DVD to be available -- just the fact that for new releases that VUDU will have available, they'll be mostly released for purchase on the same date as DVD.

            Like others, I'm not sure why VUDU doesn't have this specific movie. AFAIK, VUDU has a good connection with independent studios, but who knows...

              Yeah, I think theyll offer what they can as soon as DVD, but some studios wont let them.

              Meaning - They will offer them ASAP.
