they always seem to delay these inevitably profitable movies. I think it is a battle of rights over rights and little details until a major studio screws it up and releases it 3,000+ and sinks the profit chances. Puppet Master is probably intouchable. Every franchise probably has layers of value...
Might as well open your own studio, make a horror film based on toys, and release it to 3,000 while the others go to streaming.
maybe one can earn additional medals doing this?
