Exhibitors angry that "Beauty and the Beast 3-D" is already in stores

    Just like when The Lion King 3-D came out in theaters, the DVD release came out only a few weeks after. But since Disney released Beauty and the Beast 3-D before the theatrical release, exhibitors are angry at Disney for making that move.
    Hears what Deadline had to say-

     Rival studios tell me that exhibitors are quietly furious that Disney has begun selling the Beauty And The Beast 3D Blu-Ray DVD at Target and Walmart and other retailers without fanfare at the same time the film goes into theaters today.

     The DVD was also on sale since October 2011. Hears what Disney had to say-

               We’ve talked to all of our partners in exhibition about this and have made no secret about the Beauty And The Beast 3D Blu-Ray DVD being available. In fact there are multiple exhibition partners that are tying promotions into the 3D Blu-ray being available, like AMC and Regal.

       But I don't care I still have the original DVD version of Beauty and the Beast so I don't care.
