Netflix agrees to delay rental of Warner Bros. DVDs
Netflix has reached an agreement with Warner Bros. which will see the online DVD rental company stop offering new WB DVD and Blu-ray releases to its customers for the first four weeks of release. The studio hopes that the decision by Netflix will mean its sales of new discs will stop trending downward and reverse course as upwards of 75% of its revenue from DVD sales is made in a title's first four weeks of release.

On February 2, 2010 Sony Pictures Home Entertainment streets Zombieland, their comedy/horror about what happens when the dead take over this joint we call life. As Sony reminded us in their press release sent out today, "Zombieland is the number one grossing zombie movie in history."

DVD Active is reporting early details on the home video release of Terminator Salvation, the fourth film in the sci-fi action franchise and the first without Arnold Schwarzenegger in a primary role. Set in 2018, 15 years after Judgment Day has destroyed billions of human lives and left much of the world a blasted ruin, a now 30-something John Connor (Christian Bale) fights as a member of the human resistance against the machine army of self-intelligent Skynet. Connor's mother told him how his destiny was to lead humanity back from the brink of extinction but now the path he believed was set has been altered by the appearance of a mysterious man from the past (Sam Worthington) who may be the next part of Skynet's evolution of the Terminators.

Planet Hulk touchdown in February
In February 2010 Lionsgate will drop the latest Marvel Studios animated direct-to-DVD title, Planet Hulk. The story is borrowed from Hulk comic book writer Greg Pak's 12-issue story arc from two years ago which saw the emerald anti-hero dispatched from Earth by his former allies and sent to a faraway planet called Sakaar. There the Hulk became a gladiator in the Red King's arena, learning along the way about the history of Sakaar and of a legend that a fighter will come to break the world. Is the Hulk the worldbreaker prophesized? Will his strength free the citizens of Sakaar from the iron fist rule of the Red King and grant them freedom or will the unlimited rage of the Hulk be the force that destroys the planet?
