Its strange to think that you would see a movie in the theater then not see it again for years.


And even with movie releases to VHS, some studios refused.

Spielberg was a dick. They wouldn't release E.T.

It came out in 1982 and didn't come to VHS until 1988.

But in between he threw it back into the theaters to make more money...as people flocked because they couldn't buy it on VHS like pretty much every other movie.
