I think that would be a pretty safe bet - there'd be no need for the bounty post dvd/bluray release of the movies - while for some blockbusters that's a long time - I'd warrant typically there are only a few screener leaks of each movie - once a copy is out, there's no need for anyone to risk being caught leaking a copy - and release groups tend to be very active in promoting that they were the first to release a film (at a certain quality, screeners being somewhat of a sweetspot between cam releases and waiting for dvd/bluray relases).
So I imagine sending out 10.000 copies, each with a 20 dollar bounty would effectively cost less than 100 dollars in bounty pay outs - with the remainder being at risk for currency inflation.
There'd be little incentive to leave the reminder bounties up after the film is released to DVDs or BluRay.
