Dutch cinemas boycott new Burton film

Dutch cinemas are refusing to show the new Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland because of a row with Disney over the DVD.


Disney is planning to release the film on DVD just 12 weeks after the cinema premier, five weeks earlier than in traditional agreements.
The cinema owners say this does not give them enough time to make money of the film from big screen showings.
A boycott is also being considered in the UK.
