Usually means it is a bad movie. Sometimes because they know that the DVD will sell more than the movie tickets. Some movies take MONTHS to come out on DVD after they are no longer at the theater. Very confusing.

Yes, because no body is going to see it because the movie is bad and if the movie is in the theaters for a long time until they make it into DVD/VHS then it means that the movie is good because they're making a lot of money by keeping it in the theaters so it takes longer to come out on DVD/VHS. I hope that my answer helped your question!

Sometimes... but their definition of "bad" isn't that the movie is terrible to watch - mostly they (the studios) think the box-office viewing isn't as high and might be better to make their money off a quick home-viewing release date instead.
If it's doing decently, they may just want it out sooner to keep the money coming in, so to speak.
OR - if the movie was in theaters very close to a major retail season then they could always release it to DVD quickly to make sure they sell a lot of copies.
It also depends on the contract between producer & studio.

If it was released and then went to DVD, it's usually a reflection of poor box office; this doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, just not noticed or well-received by the public.
If it went direct to DVD, it's usually an indication that they're aware it's not going to make money in the theatres, i.e. bad.

It means that it didnt do well in theaters, not every movie that doesnt do well is bad. There have been plenty of films that came to dvd quick and were very good.

It doesn't really mean it's bad. It could possibly not have gotten alot of viewers at the theaters b/c maybe some bigger movies were playing at the same time. I won't disagree with the fact that maybe it totally sucks, but there could be other explanations.

It dosen't mean its necessarily bad. It just didn't make enough money to keep it in the theatre. Its all about money!
