The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

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.
Inactive, probably forever.
