Article about A-list fiction films, but the point is that DVDs are still very much alive.
I've finally been reading through emails from a listserv I subscribed to for media librarians, and am seeing that a lot of them still want the physical media. Reasons include the fact that some professors find the DVDs look and sound better, the DVDs often include public performance rights, many films are still only available this way, and they don't have to worry about limited time frames for the rights. However, a number of them are having to fight with bureaucrats who covet the space in the library, and/or think that everything is better online.
