Because...now, follow me on this...given a day or two to print labels,
sort stocks, update data, etc....NOT ALL TITLES ARE AVAILABLE AT 7 AM ON
THE DAY THEY HIT SHELVES!!
Major movies might arrive at their centers early and be ready for street
date; smaller movies (with fewer customers "reserve" top-queueing them
ahead of time) might arrive at the office on Tuesday and need till
Wednesday or Thursday to be incorporated into rental stock--
Put a 48-hour grace-period moratorium on all conspiracy theories if this
week's movie happens to be showing a "Short Wait" the day it opens.

>>>"Lie With Me".
