The Windows War is on again.
Paramount's recent move to schedule two DVDs for release less than three months after their theatrical openings has renewed hostilities between Hollywood studios and movie theater operators.
Last week, Par scheduled its summer action hit "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" for a Nov. 3 debut on shiny disc, or 88 days after its release in theaters. It also set the Jeremy Piven comedy "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" for DVD-rental release Nov. 10, also 88 days from its theatrical bow.
The reaction from exhibitors has been dramatic.
"Our members are ballistic," National Association of Theatre Owners president John Fithian said.
On average, Fox maintains the tightest theatrical window among major studios. Fox Home Entertainment tags its DVD releases at 122 days -- about four months -- after they open in theaters.
Nato stats show Par with the second-tightest window, at an average 123 days. And its unprecedented scheduling...

20th Century Fox, looking to launch an anti-piracy initiative through public service announcements that would screen during movie house preshows, is in talks with Regal Entertainment Group to join the effort. Regal president and chief operating officer Greg Dunn confirmed the ongoing talks Wednesday but said his theater chain has made no commitment.News Corp. president and chief operating officer Peter Chernin said at an Aspen conference Tuesday that the company's movie studio wants to introduce the PSAs into theaters to reach U.S. audiences. Although the Fox initiative would be the first such domestic effort among the major studios, the MPA has already begun a similar effort abroad, according to sources.Sources close to News Corp. said Wednesday that the campaign is still in the concept stage and not all the other studios have been contacted. The Fox effort will be overseen by its chairman Jim Gianopulos and vice chairman Bob Harper.
