Luca$hFilm certainly know that the OOT will make money. I agree that they wouldn't release it at all if that weren't the case. I've been saying that for months. But I certainly think Luca$hFilm have developed hype and conflicting statements into some of their main marketing tools. If you won't have it that they lied then perhaps you will agree that they have issued conflicting statements and half-truths.

The line that I've heard a lot around here, that Luca$h has released the September Discs for 'us' and that we should be grateful for them because he clearly doesn't want to release the OOT at all, doesn't hold much water for me. I don't believe that a big company like Luca$hFilm (or 20th Century Fox, for that matter) would release a product that they weren't damn sure would make a lot of money or that they would release something for a niche audience just out of the goodness of their hearts. They know that the audience for DVDs of the OOT is massive. The OOT were huge box-office draws in their day and are still immensely popular. Not just among 'fans' but generally. They release the OOT on DVD for money, pure and simple.
