Online movies increase but physical still rules

Americans will pay to consume more movies online in 2012 than they will on physical video formats, marking the first year that legal, internet-delivered movies will outstrip those of DVDs and Blu-ray discs combined. However, while analysts at IHS Screen Digest see this as the beginning of the end for movies on disc, physical movie consumption will still account for more viewing time, and for more revenue, at least for the next few years.
