A highly compressed 1080P movie encoded in H264 must be something like 10GB or so? For the average US broadband connection (4Mbit/sec) that's going to take at least 54 minutes. No one wants to experience buffering in the middle of a movie so that would probably be a 10-15 minute buffering period before you started watching. That might be a little too much. They could do something like play locally cached movie trailers while the movie did its first 10-15m of buffering for a movie theater-ish experience. Steve Jobs singing "Let's all go to the lobby" Monty Burns style would work too.
