I want to see Casino Royale, but I'm not too keen on going to theaters anymore. Any ideas when it might be on Dish PPV/VOD or at Blockbuster type stores?
Casino Royale- release outside theaters?

An Ever-Shorter Leap From Theater to DVD
By Jen Chaney
Special to The Washington Post
"I'll wait for the DVD."
It's the discriminating moviegoer's mantra, one repeated every time we can't muster the motivation to catch the latest Hollywood offering in theaters. But in many cases that waiting game has changed, as movies make the leap from silver screen to small screen faster than ever before.
These days the turnaround time from cineplex to DVD is 4 1/2 months, on average, with movies becoming available for rental and sale on the same day. A few recent films made the trip in fewer than 90 days. (Five years ago, the typical Hollywood flick didn't show up on home video for at least six months.) It's no secret that movie studios, which generally earn more money from home video than box office returns, are eager to capitalize on DVD dollars as soon as they can. Box office disappointments often turn around even faster.

Depends on how well it does at the theaters, Im hearing mixed reviews on it about how this new bond is a sado masochist who enjoys killing people and is more evil than good.
If it does horrible and leaves the theaters a month after release then expect it to go to dvd within 2 more months, if it does great and sticks around for 2 months then atleast 4 months, and if its incredible and is around for 3 months plus then next xmas holiday type of deal.

Well, I just watched the Casino Royale from 1967 with David Niven. Spoof. Very hard to sit thru.
I understand the new Casino Royale has nothing to do with the old one. Good.
