Surely if dvd prices have dropped directors will not be paid as much and so dvds might go off market or something what do you think?

I think you are a foolish, foolish child.
Stupid thing to say - most money is made from cinemas.
Er, surely falling DVD prices would help the movie industry as more people would be able to afford DVDs, besides which most new released still price round the £15 region.

Yes they would you buffoon, the profit for filmmakers doesn't lie in DVD sales, it’s with cinemas that the money is being made from. The Lord of the Rings movies have grossed made over a billion dollars worldwide from cinema ticket prices alone, DVDs offer a nice bit extra, but aren't necessary in making a big profit.

No, but downloading Movies off the internet isn’t as widespread a problem as downloading music (though it seems downloading music now helps the music industry.) And last time I looked, all the majour movies where still making a massive profit, just look at last years Matrix sequel, they made millions.

but they would still loose some profit.
I suppose you get some stores which sell dvds for 24 pounds and others which sell the same dvd for a lower price.

But not enough to sink the entire movie industry. Whatever you misconceptions, it's more likely a movie will flop and loose profit down to its lack of quality or it's inability to attract a wide enough audience. DVD sales and downloads from the Internet are at the bottom of the pile in respect to loosing a movies profit.
Besides which, I refer you to my earlier post, DVDs still cost upwards of £15, which is much more expensive than an average movie ticket so it doesn't matter that DVDs sell less than cinema tickets, they cost twice as much ergo twice as much profit.
