Title: Will LBT ever have a theater release again?

Do you think we'll ever see another LBT theater release for a future film?

I think there would need to be multiple highly (and I mean highly) profitable direct-to-video releases in a row for Universal to consider such a possibility. LBT ,as it is, is not a huge source of income for Universal, but at least it is a steady one. A theatrical release is a considerable investment with an uncertain payoff.

The only movie that got a theatrical release was the Original... none of the sequels were shown in cinemas (as far as I'm aware) so why should they show future sequels there? jansenov makes a good point. The risk of losing money is higher when a movie is brought to cinemas. So they don't.
