I think Star Wars (77) alone would make at least double what TPM made if it were released in 3D. Phantom Menace is considered a joke even amongst people who don't care about Star Wars, at least amongst everyone I know. I stand by what I thought earlier though; which is that next time the OT is released on Blu ray/DVD (40th anniversary?) it will include the OUT, even if it is just a GOUT type thing (although I doubt it would be anywhere near as much of a half-assed after thought as the GOUT was).

But would they wait until the arbitrary anniversary? It would make way more sense to do this as a lead-up to Episode 7 in 2015.

As for the OUT, I'll be surprised if not shocked if they don't put it out on blu-ray by the end of next year. If they look as good as the archival versions of Blade Runner I'll be happy. Just don't botch them like Paramount did with most of the Trek films. Now that was the blu-ray equivalent of the GOUT.
