Thirded Fourthed...ded. Yeah, that's not a word...I suck.As those before me have already noted, Futurama's fanbase, while pretty big, isn't large enough to equal huge box office numbers (which, let's face it, is all any of us care about  ). The numbers would probably be better with a direct-to-DVD release. And, if the numbers are good, this could mean more Futurama movies in the future...which would be good, seeing as how DXC and MG were looking more towards a trilogy. Which, in turn, is good for all us fans.

Diss., and we've been getting steady rumors about a possible direct to dvd movie, it seemed pretty darn obvious to me. But as per the question - it all depends on whether or not Fox bothers to promote it this time around. ::Flashbacks to "it all begins at 8!"::

I'd prefer a theatrical release, but I'll take whatever I can get. I guess I'll just play it on my big TV, turn out the lights, and turn the volume up loud. Best case scenario: This movie does insanely well, and subsequent movies are released into theatres (with maybe a rerelease of the first one). Yeah, that'd be awesome. But anyway, yeah, dvd movies are more plausable. Futurama has a good cult fanbase that will (more or less) guarantee good sales of a movie. A theatrical film, however, would be risky because while the fanbase is dedicdated, it's still sort of "cult" and not really big enough to ensure good ticket sales. I suppose Adult Swim has made it a lot more popular, but even then you run into the problem of casual viewers who would rather just watch the show for free on tv, or wait for the movie to be aired on tv (a problem with any tv to movie translation, cult show or not). But when (and if) the movie comes out, perhaps I'll find someone with a huge widescreen tv (perhaps a home theater) and gather a bunch of people together, so it'll be just like seeing it in the theater. And some of the people I invite better bring cell phones and crying babies.....
