2 Time gap between theatrical and home video releaseĪs early as 1906, various film entrepreneurs began to discuss the potential of home viewing of films, and in 1912, both Edison and Pathé started selling film projectors for home use.1.3 Transition from disk-based viewing to a streaming culture.1.2 Decline of videotape and popularization of disks. Because making release prints was (and still is ) very expensive, early home projector owners rented films by mail from the projector manufacturer. Edison ended its home viewing business in 1914, while Pathé remained somewhat longer, but exited at some point during World War I.Įdison's business model was fundamentally flawed because the company had started with phonographs and did not understand that home viewing is fundamentally different from home listening. Īfter the quick failures of these early attempts at home viewing, most feature films were essentially inaccessible to the public after their original theatrical runs.
Some very popular films were given occasional theatrical re-releases in urban revival houses and the screening rooms of a few archives and museums. Beginning in the 1950s, most could be expected to be broadcast on television, eventually. During this era, television programs normally could only be viewed at the time of broadcast. Viewers were accustomed to the fact that there was no easy way to record television shows at home and watch them whenever desired. In 1924, Kodak invented 16-mm film, which became popular for home use, and then later developed 8-mm film. In the case of the 16-mm format, most of these were available with an optical soundtrack.Īfter that point, the public could purchase a film projector for one of those film formats and rent or buy home-use prints of some cartoons, short comedies, and brief "highlights" reels edited from feature films.

Some entire feature films in 16-mm could be rented or bought. Bullied by his father to grow up, a teen fights between the love of his step-mother over his father’s life.
The 8-mm films almost never ran longer than 10 minutes only a few were available with a magnetic soundtrack late in the life of the format. The Super 8 film format, introduced in 1965, was marketed for making home movies, but it also boosted the popularity of show-at-home films. Eventually, longer, edited-down versions of feature films were issued, which increasingly came in color and with a magnetic soundtrack, but in comparison to modern technologies, film projection was still quite expensive and difficult to use.
