Shari Redstone likes BIG windows

CBS/Viacom Chairwoman and obvious successor to her money bags daddy, Shari Redstone spoke out loud and clear at the recent Bank of America Media, Telecommunications and Entertainment Conference about the slowly shortening gap between when a movie hits the big screen and when it goes to DVD. "Shrinking windows is bad for business, and I mean everybody's business." With Daddy Sumner looking on Ms. Redstone said she would prefer to go back to the old window of six to seven months between the theatrical and DVD release, at least for some films. She said movie studios are looking at maybe having four-month windows for films targeting younger, less patient audiences, and six- to seven-month windows for older-skewing fare. we are part of the older skewing fare and we have absolutely no patience at all.
