Why didn't Death Proof and Planet Terror come out as one dvd (as Grindhouse)?

Question

like it was in the movie theater

Answer 1

...the general consencious amongst the general public, who have seen the theatrical release of "Grindhouse", as well as the critics, who have reviewed the separate reviews of both "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror", is that Dimension Pictures are merely pulling the money-grubbing thing, and the whole shebang is falling flat on their faces; I just read a most scathing review in one of the recent issues of Entertainment Weekly, which spends half of the review on this very fact...

...plain and simple, the folks over at Dimension are squeezing whatever money they can get out of us, and in the end, just who are we??? John Q. Suckers, that's what we are...

...shame on you, Dimension Pictures..Shame on You!!!

Answer 2

The whole point of the "grindhouse" is to bring back the way they used to do it back in the day when they would show double features.
Now back then they didnt release them together, they were respected as seperate movies. Also the distribution finnancially would just be complicated between two differnt companys.
Im guessing this is partially the situation whith these two movies. Im also guessing as stated earlier by other answers, ther're just money sucking whores.
And yes they will be releasing them down the line, to again make sum of money, just as Mr. Tarentino is is doing with both Vol. of Kill Bill

In conlusion money, money, and yes money

Answer 3

Partially because it flopped as a double feature and outside North America they were released as separate movies, there is a rumour that in June 2008 they will release the Grindhouse double feature version with the fake trailers as they are no doubt losing money because of bootlegging.

Answer 4

to make more money

Answer 5

because they are money grubbers
