Paramount has signed a deal with AMC Theaters and Cineplex to allow two of its upcoming films to be made available for home viewing about two weeks after their theatrical run has dwindled to 300 theaters or less.

Not buyin' it. That's two of five theater chains in the US, which relates entirely to the American market, which at this point is 20% of the world gross. The European chains have skunked big films early when they see a DVD release earlier than they like and european and chinese measures against piracy are less effective.

This won't be a full-scale roll-out of other films because the world distributors won't stand for it. Some Paranormal Activity sequel does not a trend make.
