Quite a few of them are producers as well as Directors. They fear that the shortened window will hurt their production companies bottom line based on how exhibition and home video release contracts are currently constructed. If a movie is doing well in the theater, the shortened window will dig into both the theater owners, and the producer and distributer revenue. They also fear piracy will be a problem, and Disney agrees with this - hence their lack of support.
