The DVD Business: A Potential Resurrection
The DVD business, once a lucrative source of revenue for Hollywood, is facing obsolescence as major players like Netflix and Best Buy exit the market. However, there are signs of hope for physical media. The strategic shift by major streamers, coupled with the resurgence of physical formats in the music industry, suggests a potential way forward. As streaming services remove titles and content, the value of physical media is reinforced. Vinyl records have revitalized the music industry's physical media business, and unique features like behind-the-scenes access and director commentary could do the same for DVDs and Blu-rays.
