Yup. It seems like Amazon, along with the company putting out
their respective items are changing their business practice of
marketing their product while it's currently out in theater
within weeks of its initial release.

I wonder if they have ties to the studio, or this is just
something the alone are doing?
Which then makes me wonder how this will change the theater
going landscape?

WINNER OF THE WEEK: Fast & Furious 6. Still going strong after
12 years and five sequels, the street-racing saga easily drove
off with the box office crown this holiday weekend. According to
studio estimates, it fell just $1.5 million shy of speeding past
$100 million during its first three days; over the full Memorial
Day holiday, it's expected to earn $122.2 million. It's an
especially impressive feat given how crowded the multiplex is
with blockbusters right now. Credit the movie for the
multi-ethnic appeal of its cast, which also helped Fast 6 gross
$177 million overseas, for a worldwide total so far of $275.5
million. Also credit the film for delighting longtime fans by
delivering exactly what it promises. With an A grade from
CinemaScore, word-of-mouth is very strong.
Then again, nearly every major release did well this weekend,
for a total estimated domestic box office of $315 million
through Monday. That's a Memorial Day weekend record, surpassing
the $296 million earned during the holiday two years ago. Last
week's champ, Star Trek Into Darkness, held up well with an
estimated $38.0 million over three days (good for third place)
and a likely $48.0 million through Monday. Also staying strong
was Iron Man 3 (fifth place), with a Friday-to-Sunday estimate
of $19.4 million and a full holiday estimate of $24.6 million.
After four weeks, it's approaching $400 million, with $367.5
million earned through Sunday
Summer Movie Preview 2013
In this environment, new family cartoon Epic did even better
than expected, opening in fourth place with an estimated $34.2
million through Sunday and a likely $44.0 million by the end of
the holiday. It's the first major animated family film since The
Croods opened 10 weeks ago, so the marketplace was hungry.
LOSER OF THE WEEK: The Hangover Part III. Months ago, the
head-to-head opening of Fast 6 and Hangover III looked like an
evenly-matched sausage-fest showdown. But it wasn't even close.
Hangover opened in second place, but with just an estimated
$42.4 million over three days, meaning perhaps $51 million by
Monday. Its take through Sunday is about half of the three-day
debut logged by The Hangover Part II ($86.0 million) two years
ago. Of course, that second Hangover squandered most of the
goodwill earned by the first, and even though this final
installment promised to change gears, it still earned a B from
CinemaScore, indicating just so-so word-of-mouth. Even Epic
managed to steal some of its thunder.
'MIDNIGHT' MOVIE By one measure, the most eagerly awaited sequel
of the weekend was Before Midnight, the third in the
every-nine-years series of glimpses into the transatlantic
romance of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy). It
opened on just five screens but earned an estimated $274,000
from Friday to Sunday, for a per-screen average of $54,800.
That's by far the highest per-screen average of any movie this
week; Fast 6 earned about half that per venue ($26,935). Also
opening strong in limited release were Israeli Oscar entry Fill
the Void ($60,400 on three screens), documentary We Steal
Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks ($29,000 on four screens), and A
Pig Across Paris ($10,000 at one venue).

I don't think this is really a spoiler alert. It is in the
trailer.
The final climatic scene occurs where a Antonov transport plane
is trying to take off. The scene lasts 13 minutes, so apparently
some very geeky people were trying to figure out how long the
runway is. ;)
