Anyone know roughly how long it takes for a cinema release to make it on the on demand service?

I don't know for certain, but I'm guessing around the same length as it takes for stuff to appear on the Sky Box Office channels, so 12 months at the most?

The window post DVD / VHS release has shortened.

When 1st started there was usually a 6 month rental window so went to DVD / VHS 6 months after cinema with PPV 6 months later then Sky Movies after another 6 months.

Now the window cinema to DVD is usually 4 months although sometimes upto 6. Then PPV is usually after another 3 months. So an estimate is 9 months after cinema release.
