Actually, what determines the theatre to DVD window is all in the marketing. If a movie was received well by the public it will usually come out on DVD a lot sooner. Take the film 300 for example. That defied expectations and nearly grossed $300 mil, but its already available on DVD (just 5 months after release). Its usually the films that bomb at the box office that take longer to come out on DVD. It gives the studios more time to re-market the film for home video. The average is 5 months after theatrical release.

How much money it is NOT making at theaters. Less box office, sooner DVD.
Box office! If a movie doesn't make very much money, the company releases it on DVD hoping to recoup some of its money with sales.
