When we have new horror movies here in Australia, they are on and gone from the cinema before you know it. Examples: Dawn Of The Dead, Hostel, 28 Days Later, Saw. Most of them go straight to DVD, this is most likely because

1. Your average horror director or the movie company doesn't have the money to heavily promote these movies.

2. There isn't the interest to go see them anymore or the size of the market for these kind of movies is so small.

3. Minimise the chance of piracy

They might get a six week run if they are lucky, and are usually on DVD no more than 4-6 months later ( cheaper to do and faster to get on the market). ....

That's basically what happens here depending on how well it's doing at the box office.
