Title: Films that came out on DVD before they're shown in local theaters
Post by: DViant on Jun 23, 2003 at 01:52 AM

An example is 28 Days Later (http://www.28dayslaterthemovie.com). It hasn't been shown yet locally but the DVD will be released on the 27th of this month.

Anyone know of others?

What's the news with this DVD?  What are its special features?  How much is the selling price?  :)

DVD Talk review (http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=6678).

Scratch my earlier comment. I got confused when the movie review got posted on a DVD site & assume it was the DVD they're reviewing.

Only movie I know that came a wee late is the Obelix & Astrix movies.

Mystery Men. The local theatrical release was about a year, or two, later.

Jackass: The Movie...  The DVD is already out, and the posters for this movie are still in the 'Coming Soon' area of the movie theaters...

Didn't Along Came Polly come out on DVD first before being shown locally?  :)

Both Rent and The Producers were out on R1 DVD many months before their local theatrical releases.
