*Shopping for movies has just gotten a lot more fun

It's the weekend and you want to see a movie, but you can't decide which one. Let MK1 help you out. MK stands for "movie kiosk," and allows you to view more than 100 movie trailers, including new releases, action films, dramas and comedies, before renting or buying a DVD.
Abacus Entertainment, the company behind MK1, has partnered with Deltamac, Taiwan's leading home-video distributor, to begin rolling out the system, initially to major video retail outlets such as Asia 1, Fnac, Carrefour, Costco, and Rose Records.
So what are the expectations for MK1 in Taiwan? Rafael Bellavita, chairman and CEO of Abacus, says that: "My dream is that we take the DVD market to the next level, meaning that video sales surpass box-office sales."
However, MK1 is not expected to hurt box-office sales, as part of the content includes theatrical releases. Bellavita notes that, "It is the first time that one medium brings together video and theatrical releases. Usually the theatrical promotion and video promotion efforts of the studios are separate. I am the one bringing the two sides together in a kind of triangle. I understand that the consumers that go to theaters are not different from the consumers that rent and buy DVDs."
He adds that, "Movies are so subjective, and that is why the MK1 is so powerful. It is not telling you what to buy. It is providing a way for you to choose what you like and what you want to see." --By Cheryl Robbins
