Well there is a school of thought subscribed to by people who didn't work on the film who would say that because the film was well loved that it now belongs to them, but I don't know how legimate that is.
We owned whatever it was be bought. If we bought a ticket to a screening we saw a screening, if we buy it on DVD, we get to keep that DVD.
It doesn't give us any say in how the director chooses to further finish his own films.
