Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 70%, Queen Mary University of London (Business School), course: Understanding Consumer Behaviour, language: English, abstract: "Rollout of HD VOD and Internet movies on day-and-date of DVD release is a growth opportunity not only because consumers value them and will pay more, but also because this expanded availability will increase overall movie viewership. The Oliver Wyman study found that that these enhanced offers would lead U.S. consumers to watch and pay for an average of three more movies per year than they do today, creating a net annual increase in domestic consumer movie spending of more than $5 billion, from the current base of $50 billion."
