Best Answer

Its depends on where you get the movie

My answerA cheap movie costs $40 million dollars to produce and market

IF it makes $20 million in the theaters

They sell the DVD for $20 each

Each DVD costs $1.50 to make and ship to the store.

To make money you need to sell about a million DVD's

There are about 200 movies made a year in Hollywood

How many DVD's do you own?

So to make a profit at all I think they should charge more

Mind you a good movie can make 100s of millions of dollars before the DVD comes out.
