I think the current 3 month window is too fast already. I'd like them to go back to 6 months like in the 90s and early '00s. I like the wait between, it gives motivation to go to the theater. It gives more value to a movie ticket.
Plus, I like the anticipation for the home video release. It's hard to explain. I go see a movie in the theater, then buy the movie on release date 3 months later, but have no motivation to watch it immediately because I just watched it. Then I just kind of forget about it and it sits in the unwatched pile. 6 months is long enough to where I'm eager to see it again and watch it right away.
But with torrents and movies getting leaked so easily, the studios want to get their crap out there as quickly as they can to make the most money possible before everyone downloads a copy. It's kind of a bummer, there's no hype, anticipation, or build-up anymore.
