As I look at it, I see it more as a strategy to get more people to go to the theaters.
If all the kids knew that they couldn't rent the next "Twilight" movie for 2 months after it's theatrical release...they are more likely to go to the theater and see it.

I doubt very seriously this has anything to do with DVD sales. It's simply a way to get box office receipts up at the theaters.
