A few new examples of movies on Netflix that are relatively new:
Super 8 (Theatrical: June 2011, DVD: November 2011)
Kung Fu Panda 2 (T: May 2011, DVD: Decemer 2011)
Midnight in Paris (T: June 2011, DVD: December 2011)
Other titles I'm pretty sure are new: Captain America, Rango, Transformers 3...
Using Netflix as a template and if we consider the DVD release to be the same thing as a paperback publication, a Netflix-like book service should be able to release e-books within 4-5 months of the paperback publication date.
I have no idea if using Netflix as a template is at all realistic, but since that's what we were doing I figured we should have accurate data.  |
Well, thanks for corrections. I know that the release cycles are different for books and movies and that there aremost likely different expectations of what constitutes "backlist" for books and movies.
