IDK why they would allow a movie to be VOD before it goes to the theater! It is so easy for people to rip these things off of the xbox that no one will probally go to the theater and it will end up being another Jason X.
Not sure what happened to the news post we added this morning, so here it is again. Magnet Releasing has secured their distribution plans for George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead, his latest zombie flick that involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure. Magnet has locked down a VOD, Amazon and Xbox Live premiere for April 30, with plans to open in limited theaters on May 28th. Out of curiosity, how do you guys plan on watching it? And how cool is this that you have an option?!

It likely will end up doing better on the Xbox than it would in theaters.

Yeah, the money it'll make off of Amazon/360/VOD will probably be more than t would make in theaters alone.
